Diamond and Pearl to easy?
 
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.

Samson May 8th, 2007 11:06 AM

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.

Athena May 8th, 2007 12:13 PM

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

MegaDitto May 8th, 2007 12:31 PM

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.

Captain Fabio May 8th, 2007 12:32 PM

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! ^^

yaminokaitou May 8th, 2007 12:51 PM

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.

Star★Seeker May 8th, 2007 12:54 PM

I actually beat all the gyms on the 24th or 25th.I still haven't faced the league,though.

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

Litrid May 8th, 2007 1:50 PM

I beat the elite four with just a lvl 100 Gallade =) =P thx to Ichida of course

Colby May 8th, 2007 2:23 PM

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

Jirachi3 May 8th, 2007 2:35 PM

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....

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ May 8th, 2007 5:16 PM

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

:t354:~*!*~Queen Boo~*!*~

Gyardosamped May 8th, 2007 5:20 PM

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

EPSimpson May 8th, 2007 5:47 PM

yeh right dawg...the E4 in this game is hard as hell.

Bonez May 8th, 2007 5:49 PM

Th game was pretty easy. The only challeging thing was the Elite 4

Soylvak May 8th, 2007 6:03 PM

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.

Rai May 8th, 2007 6:25 PM

For me it was kind of difficult. Not impossible but challenging. It felt like a really long game and it took me a long time to get to the elite four.

In these versions, we'd have to use Bidoof, and heck no, I'm not gonna train six Bidoofs. Man, that would suck. One Bidoof sucks enough for a team.

Ayano Katagiri May 8th, 2007 8:44 PM

I thought parts of the game was a tad too easy. It actually seemed kinda short to me... especially after E4, there wasn't really any extras to the game to play with.

shirokiryuu May 8th, 2007 8:47 PM

Hmm... I think this generation was challanging to me. Well, I think my team had many flaws, but also I was rushing to get my national dex ASAP. I tried to complete at least one gym a day.

Also I foolishly challanged the Elite four with pokemon in the low 50's. I barely won, but I had to restart so many times and wasted a gazillion revives. The most trouble I had was with Lucian and Cythina, since with Lucian, my Luxray had horrible sp.Def, and kept on being killed by Alakazam. Cynthia's Lucario gave me trouble, as I didn't have a trained flying pokemon.

I think this generation was much difficult than the 3rd generation, in which the Elite Four was really easy. I think it might've been that swamperts are very useful.

PokemonXP May 8th, 2007 10:43 PM

Like other people have stated I found this game somewhat challenging. The gyms were easy but the Elite Four was insane. I barely got by Cynthia today and I've had the game for about a week or so. You were just lucky or maybe your pokemon weren't that much affected by the Elites Pokemon, of course using guides and such would also make the game too easy.
