    Hmm... you thought Platinum's E4 was hard? It was super easy! They...

    Oh... forget it then.

    In Diamond, it took me a couple of times, but after that it became easy.

    Yeah, the Elite 4 in Platinum was operated better compared to Diamond/Pearl imo. It would be funny to see a 3rd encounter.

    I didn't find them hard at all...

    I went through the entire elite 4 and the champion with only a 91 emporeon and beat it in my first one through.

    I thought they were hard, and I've played every generation except R/S/E. It took me something like six days to beat them, and my Pokémon were more than ready. Stupid critical hits were biased. D:<

    It is harder then the Diamond/Pearl Elite 4, but I don't think it was really hard. The hardest Elite 4 for me was in the Kanto with FireRed/LeafGreen.

    Agreed. I had to do it twice, and I had a really good, and simple team. Staraptor and Torterra, both around levels 65.

    It is harder then the Diamond/Pearl Elite 4, but I don't think it was really hard. The hardest Elite 4 for me was in the Kanto with FireRed/LeafGreen.

    omg that thing was so annoying >.<

    i still think platinum E4 is quite hard. i mean true their lvls are lower, but their pokemon have distinct and strong move sets

    Not really difficult. I had a really hard time with Lucian's Gallade though. And I lost to Cynthia in my first attempt to fight her, because of the Garchomp who wouldn't surrender to Vaporeon's Aurora Beam. D;

    I really had no struggle against the Elite 4...I train my Pokemon equally so I don't have a problem. If that's why you're falling back, Fly and train in Sunyshore City! Pokemon there are the Pokemon you'll get the most exp. without losing...

    Diamond E4 was pretty hard for me. I mean like when the Champions pokemon are all overleveled by ~10? How logical is that, considering that I've been grinding a lot. My pokemon were all 52-57 and I used tons of items on them, but in the end I beat the E4 on my first try.

    The Elite Four wasn't THAT hard. I expected it to be much more challenging. But the Champion, Cynthia, yeah she was a little tough. I mean compared to the last few Champions like Steven, Wallace and Lance. All you need is a certain type of pokemon to crush they're whole pokemon because they all have the same weaknesses. Cynthia's variety is like Gary's, but I kinda find Gary much more annoying to beat.

    I thought the E4 was easy. Except in Emerald. That was hard for me.

    If you have the right Pokemon types and the right levels on those Pokemon, you'll quickly beat the Elite Four.
