i deffinatly thought the easiest was generation 1

list from easiest to hardest

red / blue / yellow (easiest)
fire red / leaf green
diamond / pearl / platinum
Gold / silver / crystal
ruby / sapphire / emerald (hardest)

i no longer feel r/s/e is the hardest because i've played it so much and know what to do. but when i originally played i thought it was real hard!

I think they've got more difficult with each generation. As has been stated, RBY was the most straightforward but every time they've brought out a new series there have been things added to the gameplay and tweaks made to make it more challenging, or to add another element of strategy to battling.

G/S/C (easiest [no really challenges and the Elite 4 was a blame )
R/S/E (no really challenges as well and Champs who focus on one type sucks..)
R/B/Y (excepting the Elite 4 this game includes no hard trainers..)
FR/LG (some really hard challenges, and when you visit the Elite 4 for second time, they are pure awesome with her powerful Pokemon
D/P/PL ("hardest" [ Generation aslong. Especially the battle against Lucian and Champ can be quite hard to win] )

PS: I'm happy, when i can help youse by Rating Your Teams,
but when it are teams, which have no real structure and are
just motley, i can't and won't make this job for you. Your team
should have a certain tactical background.


D/P/Pt ; I think this is the hardest generation.
It's very easy to beat the storyline, but completing your Pokedex is the hardest in this game considering there are many new items introduced for evolution, most of them involving trading. The national dex also now contains 493 Pokemon, so it's quite the challenge to complete the entire game through and through.

R/S/E
FR/LG
G/S/C

R/B/Y ; Easiest, as it has the least Pokemon and the least things to do out of all the generations.
It's not hard to beat this game and complete your Pokedex at all.. the Mew and Missingno glitches making things even easier.

I think that for each generation, the difficulty gets harder.

Gen. I - Red/Blue/Yellow & Firered/Leafgreen
Gen. II - Gold/Silver/Crystal
Gen. III - Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald
Gen. IV - Diamond/Pearl/Platinum

However, I would have to say that Gen. III and Gen. IV was equally difficult to some point.

Well, personally Generation four was the hardest for me.. I thought they had the highest level pokemon in the elite four compared to other games, it might of just been me but thats what i think. And generation 2 was pretty easy in my opinion.

From easiest to hardest:

R/B/Y
G/S/C
FR/LG
R/S/E
D/P/Pt

R/B/Y is incredibly easy for me. As mentioned earlier, RBY is very straightforward and had less items and less moves. Also, the AI in this game is extremely pathetic. On my recent playthrough in Blue version, I defeated Lance's Level 62 Dragonite with a Level 48 Victreebel using only Cut and Acid. All Dragonite ever did was used only Barrier and Agility. It never attacked me.

Generation 2 was easy as well. You really didn't need to defeat Wild Pokemon in between gyms since most of the Trainers and Gym Leaders are low leveled. Plus, the wild Pokemon are extremely weak compared to any other game thanks to adding a second region so why bother training with them.

R/S/E and FR/LG were equally difficult for me. I placed R/S/E higher on terms of difficulty because FR/LG was a remake so you already had an idea of what Pokemon trainers are going to use after playing the originals a lot of times.

Finally, D/P/Pt was the most annoying because of the Elite Four. It took me awhile to defeat the Champion after a lot of stalling with items such as Max Potions and Revives. I was surprised to see a Champion finally using a diversity team of Pokemon unlike Lance, Steven, and Wallace. I think I had the most trouble with Garchomp since I had nothing that could outrun it. The only way I beat it was taking advantage of the times it missed when it used Dragon Rush.

Yeah, seriously. I noticed that they played way too defensively when i replayed Yellow Version. I beat the elite 4 with mostly high 40's all around.

Easiest to hardest:

- RBY
- GSC
- FRLG
- DPP
- RSE

I dunno what it was but Emerald was really hard for me even though I spent most of it overlevelled. DPP has too sudden an E4. <_< I always have to stop and grind for hours to level up enough to challenge them after the last gym. FRLG is only hard because I rushed through it and was underlevelled.
