Where does BW rank in terms of difficulty? People say SM is the hardest pokemon game, but what about gen 5?

        There is NOTHING "somewhat difficul" about those games. How the frick is BDSP a tier below those games when the Elite Four and Champion battles are smogon tier sets with perfect IVs, moron?

        Yes it is.

        that is such bullshit. more QoL and less tedium doesn't necessarily mean less challenging. unova has significantly harder trainer fights and boss battles than any Gen before it.
        all the games are easy if you're playing by normal rules. in the nuzlocke community for example, Gen 5 is generally considered among the hardest because fights like ghetsis in bw2 can push your shit in. there's no comparable fights in gen1-3.

        > more QoL and less tedium doesn't necessarily mean less challenging
        You’re right
        Poorly balanced exp curve, gym leaders who only use 3 Pokemon with garbage movesets and zero EVs, Lucky Egg handed for free, constant handholding, being linear as frick so it’s impossible to run into overleveled opponents like RBY/PLA/SV, constant free healing and items, and a challenge mode that doesn’t even function correctly means less challenging

          Anon... where did he mention randomizers? And of course randomizers radically change difficulty from the base game

              Anon nuzlockes don't require randomization. Most people don't even play randomizers. What do YOU think a nuzlocke is?
              A nuzlocke has 3 rules
              Nickname all mons
              If a mon faints it dies
              Catch the first pokemon in each area
              That's it

        I have literally never heard anyone say BW2 Ghetsis is challenging.

        Jesus christ this board really is filled with babies now who were in fricking elementary school when gen 5 came out.

    There isn't a difficulty tier list because no mainline game possesses difficulty in any way. If you're looking for harder games, you must resort to romhacks.

      Any good ROM hacks you like?

        Drayano ones are the most balanced and inoffensive with their changes.

          the changes in the soundtracks are extremely offensive
          nigrayno hacks immediately plummet to a 3/10 thanks to that

    OP here. If I applied these rules after every death and after every gym battle in a randomized nuzlocke, would it make even Lets Go difficult?

    It's got some decent battles, but I'd say it's fairly easy. Frankly with the exp system I find it impossible to ever be underleveled and frankly find myself over levelled compared to most gym leaders. I basically only ever potentially find any challenged with Nimbasa N, Elesa, Clay or Ghetsis. I still like the game though so it doesn't really matter.
