Challenge Mode?
Do you want to see Challenge Mode return for Pokemon X and Y? I'd much prefer a Normal | Hard | Expert difficulty setting available from the get-go.
I enjoyed Challenge Mode for the first two or three gyms in BW2 but eventually the challenge just wasn't really there. :/ |
I enjoyed Challenge Mode on Black & White 2 so I'd like to see this making a return. I'd also like to see them expand on this Key Feature, it was only introduced in B2W2 so it has potential to expand.

I want Hard mode from the start, not having to unlock and replay just because you want some decent challenge. That is ridiculous and silly. Give us choice form the start Game Freak, It is not the kiddies will mistakenly choose hard difficulty for their first playthrough. |
I enjoyed Challenge mode on White 2 a lot so I also want that in this game. But it should also be from the start so that we don't need to complete the game to play a Hard mode.
|
Ooh yes, definitely if it was from the start might be nice. Well, I didn't use it in B2/W2, but still! I think it'd create a whole lot of interest in the games when they're released when you get to choose how you journey p much.
|
Please for the love of Hell make it available right from the start. I know normality is for the weak and Pokemon wanted to try and be different from all the other games that give you the difficulty setting at the beginning but there are exceptions to that rule and this is one of them.

Difficulty
Do you think Pokémon X and Y will have a difficulty setting like B2/W2? How many setting would there be? How much would it change the game? What would you play it on? How could it be improved from B2/W2?
Discuss! |
I hope it has B2W2's initial difficulty and lets us unlock challenge and easy mode. Basically, I like the formula we had for B2W2 and hope it makes a return! I think Game Freak finally had the difficultly level right, and if you weren't happy with it, there were ways to change that. I kind of hope that we're offered those modes without having to unlock them, though. Just have them from the beginning, regardless of version.
|
The difficulty of B2W2 through the first playthrough was extremely easy, so I'm seriously hoping that we'll be able to adjust the difficulty right from the get-go.

I would definitely like a challenge mode. But this time we have to have it from the start. We shouldn't have to connect our 3DS to our friends just to have a harder challenge!
|
I would love it if it was from the start, I never got to try any of the other modes yet because I don't know anyone who has beaten Black 2 yet. (I could have tried Easy Mode, but..) I would use Challenge all the time! I think they'll probably add it in somewhere, at least, which is better than nothing!

Difficulty.
(I've been burning to ask this question, but I'm sure it'll get knocked down again :P)
What do you think the difficulty will be? Will it be like BW, where the Gym Leaders leave you at Level 35 and then you get to the Elite Four, with Lv 45 Pokémon? Or will it be more linear, and you get gradually to the Elite Four? And as a bonus, how much do you think the late-game levels will be? |
B2W2 was perfect, especially with Challenge Mode.
I'd like it so that the Gym Leader's Level's reach the standard of Marlon's in B2W2 (49-51) and then the Elite Four a few levels higher, for me that's the perfect balance of difficulty. |
I hope they just include the difficulty setting for everybody with no strings attached. I don't think it's something that you should have to link up with somebody to get.
For one thing if you played White 2 you got an easier difficulty setting, which was pretty useless unless you intended to give a younger sibling you're game (of which I have none) and for another it's a bit silly offering it at the end of the game and not at the start. Who's bright idea was that? I haven't played challenge mode for this reason, I don't restart my games. Preferably in Pokemon X & Y we'll be able to choose a difficulty setting at the start and be able to change it freely afterwards. |
I dunno, I didn't find either B/W or B2/W2 to be that hard, though I haven't tried challenge mode.
Hopefully, Gamefreak won't do that "beat the game, unlock.... easy mode!" thing again like they did for W2. |
I hope it's like FR/LG. The level range there were perfect, gave you tons of trainer to grind on to get to the E4's level range.
BW's level range was pretty high for me. Maybe it's because I kept rushing through the game, but I found the gym leaders level and the E4 to be high. |

I mean, lots of "triple A" games are doing that, letting you choose from "easy" to "extreme", but Pokémon has never done that…it'll be interesting. But I like the part where you have to adjust to the difficulty they give you, it's not that hard, because "hard" just means "higher levels" and "smarter AI", rather than "here, you take on these enemies just running at you in real time (did we mention that it's in real time?) like you did, but with 50 coming at you this time over." |
BW2 was good with levels. Difficulty comes more from clever movesets and AI. In that line of thought, it would be nice if the whole game was filled with trainers as smart as Battle Tower/PWT.

What if they, in the presence of an easy wi-fi connection, they would allow real players to battle each other as average trainer battles? I'm sure that would be a doozy to figure out, but once they do, it would have a pretty nice effect… |

It would make even more sense if people can customize their characters. (so you won't be meeting yourself all the time :p) |

I'd totally be one of those guys who starts a game, brings in eggs of Pokemon that perfectly slaughter the starters and the first route Pokemon, and then hang out on Route 2. Muahahahahaha! But seriously, let us choose a difficulty setting at the beginning Game Freak. And don't make it just a level adjustment either! Improve your normally terrible AI and pit that against me in Challenge Mode. And don't give us a Lucky Egg this time around either. Please. |
I'd like to see a challenge mode return, but as long as it really does indeed give a real challenge. I'd like to see more harder difficulties with levels being about 10 levels higher than in normal mode. Unlike in B2/W2, it only increased the levels by only one. So if the challenge mode does make a comeback, I'd like to see the levels about 10 levels higher than in normal mode, otherwise it's gonna be rather pointless. xD

The challenge mode was a great concept but i agree with most of you i think it should be available from the get go and should also be a bit more challenging then what it was in B2 and W2. I like most of you guys found the first and second gym to be where the game had most of the challenge after that the game was pretty much the same and i did not really notice much difference, I did however like that some gym leaders added an extra Pokemon. Which was good.

I loved the idea of Challenge Mode (and the Key System in general), so I would love to see it expanded upon! Having the difficulty setting available from the start, and unlocking different keys along the way, would probably work best for a lot of people. Also, perhaps in addition to increasing the trainers' Pokémons' levels, their teams could also be reworked to make them a bit more challenging to battle. The reverse would apply to Easy Mode.
