3rd Gen Is it just me or are R/S/E harder than FR/LG?

[Pachireecko]

Once you think about it yeah...They are kinda harder...

 

[Echoing Song]

I'd say that FR/LG are harder because of the amount of training it takes to get through E4 round 2... but Emerald does have the battle frontier to go through...

 

[Sweet Candace]

LG/FR are harder based on the Elite 4 (Even the first E4 member in Kanto is stronger than Wallace, the Champion, in Emerald). But, that's just my opinion.

RSE in general is a breeze compared to FRLG. I think it's so much easier to like BS your way through ruby saph and emerald. The E4 is so much easier to handle in Emerald than even run through #1 in FRLG. I went through FRLG's e4 just the other day with my highest level at 50 and my lowest at 44. Lance got some stat ups on his Aerodactyl (like three stat ups due to ancientpower) and completely pwned the **** out of me. (I ran through with little items). Point is, that same team on Emerald would have easily beaten the E4.

I personally would think that R/S/E is much easier than FR/LG by far.

 

[pokefansam]

emerald was harder because it was one of those "specail" games 3rd of that generation and they normally tend ot be harder. like platnium now, it is a touch harder than d/p

FireRed and LeafGreen I would say are harder than Ruby and Sapphire... if only because they are based on the originals which are the hardest Pokémon games in existence. I found Sapphire quite difficult towards the end though, when all of a sudden the trainers don't go above level 30 and you're somehow supposed to level up for the elite four...

Emerald was a bit more challenging than Fire Red and Leafgreen.

I don't know how to put it but Ruby/Sapphire was too easy whereas Emerald was more challenging. =/

Pokemon Emerald, Sapphire, and Ruby was harder than Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green because in Pokemon Emerald, Sapphire, and Ruby, you had to find where the Master Ball was located and how to get out of the hideouts.

I would only say R/S/E are harder than FR/LG because it was in a whole new region. You had no idea what the levels of gym leaders or their Pokemon the first time you played through the game. In FR/LG, since it is a remake of Red and Blue version, you already had a idea of what to expect if you first started playing Pokemon in the first generation because most of the trainers had the exact same Pokemon at the exact same level.

I found Fire Red harder than Emerald.
