So how hard is this game?

[Chevaleresse]

From reading about various encounters in the game, and from the general way people talk about the game, it sounds *gasp* DIFFICULT, for a pokemon game.

Hi, I've just finished episode 10 a few days ago. My experience with this game was a very positive one because it offered a real challenge for a Pokemon fanatic like myself but it wasn't too over the top.

It's very difficult. It took me forever to beat the poison leader Aya, and I've rage quit plenty of times because of the OP AI and quit reborn cold-turkey for several weeks at given times.

But I always come back....because the challenge is, though sometimes frustrating, FUN.

[RelentingRapidash]

yeah,it's really challenging makes you actually have to think and have a solid team lol

but it's one the best games I've played with word "pokemon" in it

[Alphagar]

Its a challenging game that's for sure, but like any challenge it's worth it in the end.

[bocoom]

I have to soft reset on the boss battles a few time because they just get lucky with those low accuracy powerful moves i dont have access to and cant abuse like they can! i cant help but feel a little bit jealous when they have focus blast and earthquake and strong coverage moves and i have to depend on the pokemons natural move pool most of the time.

I can't really say difficult but the game is challenging and fun, gives you a taste of the strength Gym leaders should be.

[garchomp550]

It's harder than the main pokemon games but not impossible for the most part.

[Requieon]

Nothing is impossible, tho there are like two fights that can make you THINK they are. It's moderately difficult, maybe more maybe less, depends one what pokes you have, and how you use them.

Its a game that makes you think.

Best way of advertising Reborn I've ever seen in a long time. This line should be the catchphrase of the game, really.

[ITnKU]

Either the latest chapter was easier or I've just been waiting so long that all my Pokes are overleveled... I find it gets easier as you play but still more difficult than the official games which were all too easy.

[Noivy]

I would not say it is difficult. However it most certainly is not an easy game. Unlike most of the other pokemon games, this one forces you to think a lot of the time.

Yeah, especially with the puzzles.

[DarkLight]

Definitely more challenging than the normal Pokemon games, but I love it. In normal pokemon games, I find myself with more money than I can spend, which is not fun. Here in Reborn though, I am calculating my actions before buying anything. It's easier with Pay Day, but I don't depend on it much.

[Alphagar]

Yeah, especially with the puzzles.

Nikaboo's videos saved me quite a few times one those. Man some had me so stumped.

It's incredibly hard, I'm pretty sure I've had to try atleast 5 times for each gym, totally underestimated this game when I first jumped in, now just two days later I've learned a lot

[Conquest]

Its actually a fun and challenging game that requires you to think, instead of run in head first like normal pokemon games. Bit of frustration when it came to the third chess puzzle and the ice gym leader is very annoying, but those are the only negative things I have to say. Also I'm still waiting for that glorious moment where we crush Fern and he finally breaks down and cries.

Pray to our lord Arceus and it may be done :'D

Challenging but not impossible like Blue Kaizo or Resolute

[Ottur]

It's really hard, but its really awesome. The Gym Leaders are challanging! Crazy concept right? Good pokemon trainers are actually good. That is just very strange IMO (obvious sarcasm is obvious).

[derekwst3]

hoping heading to the elite four there will be 18 trainers, one for each type, the first slot will be first gen best (insert type). the second slot sec gen, third slot third gen....etc. only problem would be the dark, they could use a eevee, and have the trainer mention he cant wait for it to evolve. it will be similar to gym battles, maybe it could be a side section that will get you each elemental plate , and that unlocks arceus at the end?

YES, I WANT NOTHING MORE THAN TO SMACK HIS HEAD INTO A WALL. SERIOUSLY HE'S A PAIN IN THE NECK. makes me want to snap his. :I (the minute I do though Im going to burn his roserade for all the times it killed my blaziken~)

Arceus would just 1HKO the entire game at level 100 so I doubt Ame's going to put it. I like your idea though.

Poke'mon Reborn has a steep learning curve from the original games. You'll often have to fight a gym leader once or twice before you figure out a workable strategy to stomp them and the puzzles had me hella confused at times, but overall it's an enjoyable challenge.
