though im totally on board for that hard mode you mentioned. it was one of the best features bw2 added, and subsequently got axed for ??? reason.

its not even that hard to make. bring it back gamefriq.

The problem with Gen II is that the level curve basically becomes a flat line once you reach Ecruteak City because you can go basically anywhere from there.

Even then Claire is still a legit threat though even if in part due to Dragons still being rather hard to deal with at the time.

@Skull Servant HG/SS maybe were the easiest, but the same doesn’t qualify for GSC. Those games were entirely different from their remakes because the Physical/Special split weren’t implemented yet. Plus the non existence of certain items and TMs.

I do agree that our experience with the games have made us basically experts already. I just believe that GF can still pull a Reborn on the games, even without the field effects and everything.

@Gentleman Jaggi Claire, Whitney, Morty and even Jasmine were really hard to deal with atleast on the first or three times. I also had to level all my mons to 50 before I challenged the league. I generally don’t miss the grinding of it all, but the sense of preparing yourself for the battle is something that is now profoundly lost with the recent games I must say.
