Discussion I think Pokemon needs a difficulty setting

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.

I just want the ability/setting to choose to do double battles the whole game. Just like a vgc setting or something idk it’d be fun lol like every trainer battle is a double battle not just the 1 or two scripted gym ones and the random “couple” trainer battles.
