    Is it just me or did Diamond/Pearl seem super easy?
    I beat all the way to the league and didn't white out once. I did very minimal training and only had one trade (which was ingame.

    I wouldn't think that I would make it all the way out of the out to though the main gamein one shotlike that. The legendaries where super easy to catch as well. I caught Dialga with three ultras with no status effect as for the mirages I caught all but the one the runs(haven't bothered to track it down)with little effort.

    As for the league it was a push over as well the last person gave me a little trouble because I had no fire move except on my Steelix which was out of PP.

    I love my Diamond but I really didn't find the main game challenging. Did any one else have this problem?

    >.>;; This has been the longest game we've had in a while, with a Champion's team all in the 60s...

    It's just you. It at least takes a while. Yo're just lucky...or lying or something......

    And not whiting out isn't a measure. This game was made for little kids, after all...of course you're not going to white out in the game.

    Got the game the morning of the 22nd, beat the Elite Four the morning of the 25th. Swept the entire E4 with my Palkia and Empoleon. It's amazing how simple the game can get when you already know the subtle ins and outs of the mechanics, na?

    What he said. You're either lucky or you're lying.

    I found it to be a lot harder than the others, myself. The Ruby/Sapphire generation was easy but this?

    The lack of fire types gives Ice, Steel and Bug a very intense advantage (I swept the Steel gym with Empoleon, the Ice gym gave me quite a bit of trouble).

    The Four were also intense, having Pokemon of higher levels than any Four of the past (53 is the lowest level now, rather than the highest).

    I didn't think the Legends were any easier either. I caught Palkia after hitting it once then using a Dusk Ball but Regigigas and Giratina were rough.

    I'm a pretty skilled Pokemon player too. I don't play in the metagames but I know my way around. Just saying.

    i dunno. i really wasn't paying attention to the difficulty level when i was playing it, but that's probably cus it was slightly easier than i remember it being.

    I thought it was on par, if not harder than the previous games. It -definitely- took me longer to get anywhere in this one. There were so many minigames and other things like wifi to do that can be very distracting... xDD

    The E4 were fairly top notch this time in my opinion. Very hardcore. That level 63 bronzong will forever be my enemy! xD

    Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald are a bit easier than this game. Adventure wise to be honest. For Gym Leaders, Emerald is a bit more challenging.

    I think it is just because we all pritty much know the games and how they work. If it was the first game you got i think it would be different! ^^

    I'm actually having a more difficult time with this one than with any of the other games I played. On my firered version I beat all 8 gyms, plus team rocket, and all my pokemon were at level 45. In Pearl, I tried to face team galactic on Mt. Coronet at level 42 and I got creamed; and that wasn't the first time.
    It's not hard per se, but I spend a lot more time raising in this version.

    I used to fear Bronzong, but then I realized it was just a horrible Metagross wannabe with worse stats and a less-diverse movepool. :P

    it was pretty easy i waited so long on this and then i was so disapointed the main game is easier or maybe just less fun than rubyy, saphirre and emerald it also had a lack of new pokemon avalible before the national dex the after the main game was a little challenging but besides that not much the most challenging thing is beating the master rank contest for me

    I think this game seems easier or were all just getting too experienced at this xD i bought it last night and im on the 5th badge already! However it can seem like you keep getting distracted by all the wifi features....

    it was difficult to beat you rasing your Pokemon to there 60's for the elite 4, but complete the Pokedex is so much easier to me now. But the contest seem so difficult and I'm still struggling

    The game was pretty easy for me. When I beat the Elite Four I was at 24 Hours time limit.

    I thought it was about the same difficulty as the others... but it is quite easy unless you rush to the end with pokemon that arent trained alot.

    If you want a challenge try going all the way through the game with just ratatas(not in this case) thats what my friend did for red, he only have a team of ratatas.. that made it challenging!

    By the way Athena, I love your sig ! I'm a fan of her.
