6th Gen Does anyone find the gyms too easy?

The Gym Leaders were indeed pretty easy to beat, as Hikamaru explained partially because of the EXP Share
The only battle that gave me just a bit of trouble was Hawlucha w/ Flying Press, but i still won on my first try
 
Basically as what's been said, the Exp. Share and the abundance of Pokémon present are what makes things easy. The only one that actually gave me any significant issue on my first playthrough of X was Grant, because his Pokémon hit hard and I didn't exactly have THE best coverage for him. And Olympia was slightly annoying (and I mean slightly, if only for the fact that she had Sigilyph with dual screens and Slowking with Yawn). Two of them I just slammed in three turns. Why couldn't they have had four Pokémon given the massive Pokédex?
 
Just like in the anime, I only bring the same number of pokemon that the gym leader has, so that makes it fair. After that, it all depends on how easy you want to make it.

I really like this idea, I might give that a try the next time I play through Y.

For the most part, I've always found gyms to be easy, though this generation I tried not to use the EXP. share much, because I don't like being 10 levels above my opponent.

I remember having troubles in previous generations with the occasional leader, but this generation seemed to be a complete breeze. I'm replaying my old Sapphire game atm and I'm having a heck of a time trying to beat Wattson...
