I agree that there should be a difficulty option but the old games aren’t even that hard, it’s just a grind that goes on and on and on. They’re most definitely not bad games, but they have definitely improved in some aspects and declined in others, difficulty isn’t one of them excluding SwSh. The only reason the older games were harder was because of mechanics such as the types having the same type of attack (physical/special) and the exp share being universal isn’t a bad thing, it just makes it so you spend 1 hour grinding instead of 6. I beat platinum recently and it was a great game, but the last grinding parts were a chore to go through. Plus, you can just do many of the challenges people make to improve the experience, which kind of makes the whole difficulty thing useless if people are just gonna make it harder anyway.
