The Sinnoh, i noticed, is unusually easy. I still don't get why. It was easy to beat without cheats and raise all my Pokémon. My party contains Pokémon all level 100 without any cheats. I have like four more level 100's in the PC. I still don't get how easy.

I want, however, YOUR word. Is it easy for you?

...When has Pokemon ever been not easy?

Of course it was easy.

Pokemon in general now has bored me after beating it 1 time. But Pearl takes the cake. GameFreak made it too easy for just seeing the Pokemon in your Sinnoh Dex. Make it more like FRLG. Catch some Pokemon; what happened to "Gotta catch 'em all...Pokemon!"?

storyline easy ...... finishing dex is a challenge though (50 more)

The in-game battles (I don't mean BT) are always easy to beat; you don't even need well-trained pokemon...


Perhaps you're doing something different that you didn't do in other games, such as spending more time battling trainers/E4 repeatedly? Having 10 level 100s is usually not typical for beating in-game teams - usually I'll have 3-4 lvl 70s.

After beating Red, Gold, and FireRed, Pearl was a piece of cake.

It's called "experience".

Sinnoh may have the highest level Elite 4, but it was far more simple than when I was playing Ruby/Emerald because I was just a starting trainer (I didn't know much then...). Sinnoh = EASY!!

Exactly, same here. The first generation troubled me, because I had no clue what I was doing. Now, I rush through the storyline with ease, no matter what pokemon game. So for most of you, D/P may seem easier mostly because of your past pokemon experience.

Yep that's what I said.

Pokemon has always been easy to me. NO matter what game they brought along, I could finish it in a week, playing 30-60 minutes a day. I used to be able to beat red version in 3 days when I was 5-6 years old. D/P were no different. Part of the reason that D/P were easy to beat is because of the amount of battles they gave you and you practically got the vs. seeker right at the beginning so you were able to train that much easier too. The Gym Leaders were especially easy too. By the time I reached the E4, I had a whole team of 60 and skimmed right past them all. The remaining legends were pretty easy to catch, and catching all the pokemon was pretty simple due to the fact that I was able to get Pearl exclusives from my bro. The only part I had trouble with was the pokemon from the honey trees cause it took so long to find the,. IMO, this was probably the easiest of all the pokemon games. If they were gonna make it that easy, you should at least be able to rebattle the gym leaders after the E4 and they should have CHALLENGING pokes. Anyways, thats just my thoughts

And how easy is it to get Darkrai, Shaymin, Arceus, etc? All tooooooooooooo easy for me.

I have been playing for some time now on fr/lg/r/s and emerald, I just got my pearl game at the beginning of dec. and finished it in just under a week, I found it exstemely easy to complete, all I'm doing now is trying to get all the pokemon and I only have to get 2 more and then I will probally have nothing else to do in the game except maybe the battle tower and things like that, I found this game to be way tooooo easy to finish and it's all because I was already playing the other games.

red blue and yellow in my opinion was the hardest ones b/c it was the very first ones I ever played and I had no clue what I was getting into. Others might have started with other games and said that it was them but to me Diamond was the easiest game in the series as of yet

How did this go unlocked? The first reply to the thread should've been the end of it. I'm sorry, but this thread is pretty pointless. Not much discussion can come from it.
