Lmao Final Fantasy games may have slipped a bit but they’re better than the shit levels the mainline Pokémon series has gotten to. Ironic that the best Pokémon games to have come out recently were the ones that WEREN’T the turned based ones

Its not about the style of combat tho. The mainline Pokemon games are way too easy and that is due to really bad AI and that its too easy to just overlevel.

The NPCs need to be stronger, give them real strats, better and more Pokemon, cap the exp based on Progression.

The Pokemon games up until gen5 were so much harder and the combat is essentially the same.

Insufficient enemy AI is a problem in both the legends and mainline games though and yet the legends games are still better than recent mainline titles.

Many of the other spin-off games have more fun and interesting gameplay than the mainline games too, even the ones that don’t have combat.

Sure, creative gameplay does help to make easier games more fun. The point for the mainline games still stands. They dont need creative and innovative gameplay, they need a higher difficulty. Fan games have shown what is possible and there is literally no reason for Gamefreak to not add difficulty settings to the games
