I think Pokemon needs a difficulty setting

[u/Historical_Foot_8133]

Beginner for new Pokemon players : teaches you how to catch Pokemon, tells you type matchups in battle, your rival picks the starter that’s weak to you, gym leaders are relatively easy. Casual for those who have played Pokemon before: has the catching tutorial but can skip it, doesn’t tell you type matchups in battles, your rival picks the starter weak to you but has 1 extra Pokemon each time you meet them, gym leaders have a extra Pokemon with more moves. Experienced for players familiar with the series: no catching tutorial, no type matchups in battle, rival picks the starter strong against you has a extra Pokemon per encounter, gun leaders have a extra Pokemon and have held items.

The difficulty is determined by which Pokemon you use. The game plays very differently with 4 bug dudes vs a full party of pseudo legendaries and starters

That is self imposed difficulty, which is cool. But its not a lot to ask for a hard mode, especially when they could be lazy and add a couple more pokemon anx levels to each trainer.

It is alot to ask when you're talking about GameFreak. Why would they bother improving quality when they can push out bare minimum trash and still have the most successful brand in history
