How much does GF pay you to shill their games?
Two Genwarring homosexuals above me
>All enemies deal more damage due to how the dmg calculation factors in level as part of it
>To compensate, you level up faster to MAYBE get some use out of all the unova mons that evolve post-50
Lazy, but not a bad idea

I did some checking and testing:
>Using a cheat to see the enemy's HP reveals that yes, they are using the stats corresponding to the original level. Natures can be different, though.
>In practice the difference isn't that egregious because the actual level value (the number) does play a part in the damage calculation. In case of Iris' Druddigon, the stats remaining the same as level 57 is roughly equivalent to battling against a level 63 Druddigon with worse IVs.
>When using cheats and catching the trainer's Pokémon, they revert back to the Normal mode levels.
Interesting.
They apparently use better AI too
not to mention they have better movesets
And better items
>Our system thinks your post is spam.
Frick off, I'll just post it inside the image.
I've completed the image with some Easy mode data.
>If you play using level caps....
Easy Mode is "harder" than Normal Mode in every scenario, reduced EXP again with no other changes.
I’d use the word “tedious” instead of hard.
damage is lower and AI worse
Movepool and items are on the mix too, the only big blunder is flame orb sheer force Conkeldur
Scarf Chandelure and lo Salamance/Metagross are highlights of the elite 4
Now that's just weird and autistic to do.
>We want to make it harder
>but only visually
Small indie company please understand
>gamefreak can't even code a proper hard mode
i don't even have a proper reaction image for this
>forgot to increase their stats
they didn't "forget" anything. it's harder to code it the way that they did than to code it in a way that would affect stats. they did it on purpose for some reason.
It's pretty sad when there are entire hacks with actually increased difficulties including IV/EV/Nature/Abilities, running on spaghetti pirated code. GameFreak is a fricking joke.
I don't even get why they coded it in a way they did. The only logical answer would be issues with space but even in 2011 we were not living in times of tiny, little Gameboy carts and I don't think that additional tables with fully coded new teams would take so much space.
Anyway, this kinda makes any Nuzlocke shenanigans with level caps more interesting because iirc Easy Mode also has this issue but with lowered levels. So you have lowered level caps but Pokemon still have their normal level stats.
Is Gamefreak the most moronic developer out there?
Blizzard exists, so no.
Nah, somehow there's plenty worse.
ILCA >>>>>>>>>>>>> GF
>gamefreak is incompetent
Yeah, we know
So, how about those better movesets and additional Pokemon?
yeah I love how the gym leaders have additional pokemon so I can get even more exp to effortlessly sweep them
>better moveset
Aren't e4 members given worse movesets in """""hard""""" mode?
Only Marshall, the rest are buffed quite a bit
E4 members don't get any moveset changes in challenge mode, they just get items and more pokémon (and replace some of their weaker mons, like Grimsley replacing his Liepard with a Tyranitar)
oh, nevermind, there IS a change
Marshall's conkeldurr's ability is changed from guts to sheer force in the rematch (this happens in all difficulties), but its item remains a flame orb in challenge mode
>flame orb sheer force
peak gamefreak, not even sword and shield can beat that
>having more pokemon is le bad because more exp
is this the new narrative to justify 4 pokemon gym leaders/elite 4 until post gamee?
more pokemon is le bad because more exp
Correct.
More pokemon is only more challenging when it works like USUM and PLA where you have to 1v2 or 1v3.
what do you expect from moron-proofed nugen slop like nig and shite 2
I was amazed back then and I am still amazed now at how difficult it is for this franchise to handle something as basic as difficulty selection.
Still objectively better than having no difficulty options at all. Seethe and cry more, zoomers.
annoying homo
nice coping as expected
spamming that it's easy won't change reality, and neither will the fact that Gen 5 is good ever change, either.
If you find a children's game anything other than easy you might be mentally deficient
>two easy modes is better than having no difficulty options at all
not really
they could have spent that development time actually improving the game
BW2 are among the best games in the series already
Yeah I’m sure if you keep spamming that every chance you get people will eventually believe it’s true
d-tier nugen slop
Except they couldn't, because BW2 is the peak of the franchise.
*downfall of the franchise
How does it feel being the downfall of taste?
