Is it me...
... or is Diamond and Pearl much harder than it is in the previous games?
Yes, I got the game yesterday, after many weeks of waiting. After a good play through, I've realised that the pokemon (wild and trained) are a lot tougher. I even find battling the Galactic grunts a real struggle (and usually, they're the weakest, in my opinion). Has anyone else had troubles in the game, or could it just mean that I'm rubbish? |
lol, Beating it was as easy as it usually is; however, I do believe there is quite too large of a gap between the levels of the eigth gym and the Elite Four. But, that's really the only thing...
|
Well, I got my Pearl yesterday and I think there is something different about the battles... I mean, level 50 Empoleon after the 4th gym? In the other games, my starter was barely at level 60 when I reached the league. O_o
|
Yeah, I think there is a Bigger gap between gyms. Which probably ment more battles, causing my pokemon to level up more. The battles were a little harder this time around, for me, Although not enough to take me down.
|
I thought that these games were a little harder than previous games, but not overly hard.

I managed to beat the game with a Pachirisu, Empoleon and Staraptor, and Bidoof as my.. uh.. HM Friend. (Elite Four on first try ;)). |
I didn't think that this game was any harder than the others. The only problems I had was the Elite Four and that was because my Pokémon's levels weren't that high.
|
eh, i didn't really find it any harder. it was actually better than the older ones, though, being that i could actually keep the Levels of my Pokémon up with everyone else's on the game, which i actually ejoyed. in no way did i have to struggle, until i got to the Elite4, but thats because when i got to the Elite4, my levels were in the low 50's. but, after fighting the first few of the Elite4, their levels gradually rose, making the fight easier and easier. :D
|
It was definately just as hard as any of the other games, but the battles took so long I hated battling and was always underleveled by at least two...The Elite Four was fairly easy, but Cynthia was insanely difficult in places. Like her Spiritomb and Bronzong [I had no Fire moves on any of my six team members at the time].
|
I find D/P a bit the same but still slightly tougher. The only difficulties I had in the game were the 5th gym battle and the E4. Which only took me about two to four tries. I feel sorry for my poor Bibarel; he's my HM Poke and then I used him as a distraction during the E4 battle so I can heal my other pokemon Dx I feel so evil >=D

you dont have to
you don't have to import from hoenn, listen at sandgem town dawns sister tells you that the news said that there's a outbreak of pokemon she'll say a route and the pokemon that are there e.g she might say route 201 there's a whole bunch of electekid
|
You kidding? The game was actually easier, well maybe it because i have this policy to have my pokemon 7+ levels higher then the wild, but it was an addicting game, i couldnt stop, i manage to beat it in 3 days straight, that of course i had a lot of competition with friends. I wouldn't say your rubbish, but if your having a hard time getting by, its means you need to train a lot more.

never thought about that, as usual it took me less than 30 hours to get the national dex so i didnt realize much of a difference
|
I didn't really see the difference. The E4 was easy as usual, and same with the trainers, gym leaders and wild Pokemon.
|
It was at most longer...
Though my hardest battle was prbably the 1st fight with the girl from Galactic that had a purugly. |
well, when i was playing it for the first time it was really hard(Japanese version and cant even tell 2 different japanese word apart!) never got the english version yet but it will probably be like 10x times easyer

By the time my sister was ready to beat Mars, Jupiter, the Galactic Boss (sorry, i forgot his name) and finally catch Dialga, her Pokemon were at around Lv.35-40. They were about in their 40s. I also find the region map a lot more confusing than in the earlier games. :( |
the leveling up is what really was tough for me, really slow process while beating the game.
|
Technically Diamond and Pearl is a bit harder than the other because of algorithm changes they made to the game engine.

Dude r u joking me? This game waz easy-medium compared to other games. The hardest for me waz and still iz: Emerald.
But the hard part about pearl is the part to catch palkia with all those Galactics and the Elite-4. Gosh I still remember being soo angry and almost breaking my DS because I couldnt beat them. |
i have the 8th gym and elite4 left to do, yet none of my pokemon on d/p are over 50? is it me or do they get less xp??
|
The battles are way easier.
But, the actual game other than battles is harder, IMO. Although, I have only had the game for four days and only have 3 badges so far so what do I know. |
Dude, it's just you. Every game has gotten easier since the first gen I think. I mean think about it, Lorelei, who was the first person in the original E4, had pokes over lvl 60. In this game, there are level 60s only after the 3rd leader I think, and even then there are still no more than 3 or 4 over lvl 60.
So yeah, it's just you, this game was easy as pie, i thought |

z0mg thanks _._ < upside down -.- < :D but can you help me, what do i gotta do to get to sunyshure, ive set the legendreies free (ones in team galactic base in that big base) im just getting my lucario egg atm.
|
DP certainly was longer X_x
I completed RS in a little under 4 hours but this took me more than 10 hours to get to the e4 (and past it) |
Diamond and Pearl were definately better, longer, and more challenging than the GBA games (except Emerald).
I really didn't have any trouble other than the with the wierdness of the Super Contest Visual Rounds. I never dressed my Pokemon to be "intangible" or "Natural" or any of those themes. Just dressed them. I eventually started winning the master ranks though. Also, I had trouble with the Elite Four. I got I lost to that 3rd trainer with the lvl. 61 Infernape. I got owned. I did about an hour of leveling up and won against the 3rd guy and eventuallty made it to Cynthia. Only to get owned by her Garchomp about 3 times... I eventually won and never lost again to any E4 member or Cynthia. |
well on hardness, I started out with a chimchar, started by training my hardest to beat the first gym, team all 15, monferno, traded buziel, geodude (HM slave), evolved starly -_-, and evolved shinx -_-, can't remember names... after I beat the first gym, i noticed i had to keep training before every thing over and over again. and my 9 year old brother who uses the train you starter only tactic was getting farther then me.
as for the game itself it took me three days to find the galactic grunt in pastoria so I could get the secret potion. overall my game only took 12 hours or so for my hall of fame debut. |
Easiest lol
I actually thought that Pokemon Diamond was a lot easier then the other games. Even RBY was harder for me. This game was the easiest in my opinion, but also had the most stuff to do in it, to keep you occupied.
|
It wasn't hard at all!
The wild pokemon are the weakest, in my opinion. I mean you're still encountering wild lv 3 Shinx after the first cave. It's harder in the way that you can't train as easy on such weak wilds. |
they definatly are a lot longer and they do have more of those, "wait until movie/next game" mysteries.... In my opinion, R/B/Y were the hardest because the horrid graphics and because I was a Noob at life back then"How do you get down these freekin' stairs!!!" "WTF! WHERE'S THE DOOR!!" ^^ lol
