6th Gen Do you think the Gym leaders are too easy this generation?

I just beat Gym 4 (Grass) without taking a hit while using my Mega Charizard. To be honest I've had more trouble with a few random trainers than I have with the gyms so far.
 
1) AI still more or less poor
2) not much thought given to make gym leaders party more strategic/difficult in general
3) super training + exp share makes your party much more stronger overall
 
Well... The Rock gym kicked me in the rear a few times, but that was due to my over reliance on fire type Pokemon... XD

Otherwise, I agree. I steamrolled the rest of the gyms without trouble.
 
I think the reason they are so easy is

1 none of the gyms use more than 3 pokemon ,i mean really an 8th gym with only 3 pokemon that's just ridiculous
2 no really type coverage this is really pertinent in the ice gym, i mean no ice water type to cover fire resistance really they could have at least made it mega abomasnow.
3 the new Exp-share is OP, when you can raise an entire team when only using 2 of them & without really fight wild pokemon that's OP.

don't even get me started on the E4, & i thought last gens E4 was bad.
 
It all depends on the person and what pokemon they have, i know i experienced difficulty in one of the elite 4 members because of having majority of fire-type pokemon it was difficult but it all depends on the person, their pokemon, and their ability to either train or use the right pokemon match ups..although it was quiet easy i have never had trouble with gym leaders in any other gen and ive played since first gen.
 
I tried challenging Korrina and she killed me. Hawlucha is a pain.
Honestly, the Exp. Share seemed so overpowered to me and I turned it off. Even after getting smashed by Korrina, I'll still have it turned off.

I'm limiting myself about some things. I want to make the game feel harder.
But still, it wouldn't hurt at all to improve the AI just a bit and make at least 3 Gym Leaders have more than 3 Pokémon.
 
pokemon in general has always been easy.
