    Has anyone decided to up the difficulty in the game?

    I for one didn't use the EXP Share for the most part only to use it when I needed to grind my Pokemon. I also set my battle style to Set so that I can put more strategy and decision making into my battles.

    What's your difficulty setting?
     
    if your pokemon get defeat you have to Release it
    cant use same skill more then once you have to swtich your pokemon for new skill
     
    Also turned off exp. share and put into set.
     
    my advice would be turning off the exp. share, and never using mega evolution. I have beat the game (Y), now playing (X) not using exp. share, but I am still using lucky egg, I do not one strong pokemon, just in case things go south.
     
    It's not just in X, I change the battle to style Set for all Pokemon games.
     
    What does the Set battle style do?
     
    i beat my x with everything was super easy


    I beat my Y Nuzlocke challenge with the hardest rules...Still way to easy


    Overall game was too easy
     
    Personally, I don't like it when games get difficult, so I've played Pokémon Y the easiest way possible. I've made sure that the Exp. Share was enabled, so that all of my Pokémon would be leveled evenly and none were left behind. I've battled all trainers that I was able to find, which would help my Pokémon to become stronger and give me an easier time when facing tough opponents, such as rivals, gym leaders, and Elite Four members. I've also equipped myself with Amulet Coin, so that when it came to money, I wouldn't have any sort of issues. d:

    There's plenty of ways that you can make the game harder, though. Few of the ways that I could think of right now is by using weak Pokémon (stats-wise), trying not to grind, limiting yourself from the use of recovery items when battling, and doing a variety of challenges—monotype, community, solo, etc. etc. As mentioned before, you could also do a Nuzlocke run, where you're forced to release your Pokémon every time they faint. I've done this challenge on Emerald once before, but personally, I didn't like it. xD
     
    you can do the ultra hardcore healthlocke, where normal nuzlocke apply, but you cant enter a pokemon center(except for release), and you can only heal status effects and pp, you cant remove pokemon from the pc after they are caught, but you may catch legendaries, and if the first pokemon flees on a route (wandering legendary or safari zone) you can catch another. and you have to fight every wild pokemon you encounter.
     
    Never use Super-Effective moves.
    Don't teach your Pokémon moves of the same type as itself (since they hit slightly harder).
     
    i dont have the expo share on because i dont like the kanto style exp share.

    I dont think it is particularly easy though especially the money side. and some of my pokes are seriously underlevelled.
