Forced Exp. Share makes it much easier than it used to be.
Forced Exp. Share makes it much easier than it used to be.
I only played Pokemon X from start to finish. I remember having to go to a Pokemon center to heal my pokemon. I also remember needing to get exp share. In Pokemon Sw (the version I'm playing), I'm getting healed after every battle (bit of an exaggeration, but not far from the truth.) I had exp share as soon as I got my Pokemon for some reason. My rival is a joke (All I did was spam Ember, Flame Charge, and Quick Attack.) They probably made it easier for kids.

That's not really a difficulty thing. Before exp share you'd either end up with one insanely over-leveled Mon, or you'd waste a bunch of time by constantly rotating who's in front of your party (I did the latter). It didn't make the game any harder, just more tedious.
Minus the rose-tinted glasses for whichever generation you started with, yes, Pokemon has always been very easy by RPG standards. BW2's challenge mode perhaps being the one exception, as @robingilh pointed out. It's too bad that wasn't included in later gens.

I agree. Exp share just makes it less tedious to get another mons on the same level.
Especially when you realized that you should get a second pokemon on the same or near the level from the first Pokémon.

A very low IQ comment. Way less tedious though, I like the modern exp share because I cycle out my Pokemon each gym and select my final team for end game. Grinding a Pokemon does not make the game difficult it just makes it tedium. Pokemon has always been self imposed difficulty anyway. You can beat any game running just your starter. Also you can make statements without unnecessary spacing.

pokemon was never as easy as sword/shield
yes, knowing type differences and the ability to use type advantage makes the game very easy but if you haven't noticed, in all the previous games, you actually have to know about type advantage because your rival will be there waiting to kick your butt if you don't
however sword/shield has your rival picking a team that you can wipe out with your starter.
bede is a little harder but he is always low on the pokemon count + exp share means that you will beable to kill him with your eyes closed
also the gyms in the earlier pokemon games were actually challenging too and it was something to look forward too, of course, this changed in x/y sun/moon sw/sh
now, the gyms are just fun minigames that seem a little pointless and dynamaxing is kinda pointless compared to mega because theres no stat/hp increase, meaning that i could just use 3 potions for the 3 turns the opponent uses dynamax and i wouldn't be missing anything

Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other. -

I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.

I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.+1 -

I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet

Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.

Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol

Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150
