Anyone else disappointed with how easy this game is?
I mean, it's either easy or Black was too hard. Like, Black/White Elite 4 was soooo brutal with such hard types to counter, but even then most of them have great coverage of their counters. The entire X/Y Elite 4 is pretty much countered by 2 Starters + 1 Fairy or Fairy move. And then the Champion... What the hell, is Gardevoir really that threatening? In Black 1/2, I had to beat a pineappleing Life Orb Hydreigon with Draco Meteor! God damn that was painful. I had to pull out every single Max Revive I had, rethink my team composition, and backtrack for some useful TMs. With X/Y, I just rushed past everything because I was tired of fighting trainers that can't ever hope to put a dent in any of my 3 Pokemon...
I'm kind of disappointed with how the pacing was near the end... I blame this on Exp Share and the fact you can get Swords Dance TM near the beginning of the game.
