Edited by Myriad58 Wanted to ensure neutrality. At least as much as I can
I realise I'm probably coming in late to the conversation here, but I'd just like to give my takeaway from what I've read here.
I realise that most users of these forums are more serious about pokemon than the average player - hence the preferences to insane difficulty and acceptance for getting severely punished for not having an optimalised team.
Those people suggesting that high difficulty and grinding are undesirable do have a point - as those who would like to play for the story (it is rather compelling) may have to stop due to their skills being below that of a successful player.
As as well as this, there is a serious time deficit to grinding, which may also be undesirable for a few players who'd rather not waste time on non story elements - at least - not 3 hours grinding levels or EVs for a particularly challenging fight.
I do really appreciate the game breakdowns- really interesting to read opinions backed up by personal experience. The points about struggling with viable strategies I totally get - the leaders in Reborn have some seriously strong "problem" Pokemon which can be demoralising at times... My first run was successful but I lost the save file after defeating terra without too much difficulty, however when I started over I got too caught up in training up "cool" Pokemon and I just ended up restarting
I noted the love for another game: Pokemon Desolation, and I look forward too seeing its story develop: less happy about an early difficulty spike but hopefully it Won't drive me off!
-I wonder if rejuvenation has a site back up somewhere
i didn't notice the site had been wiped until today
