The proper way to make a hard pokemon game. Tricky movesets on trainers rather than inflated levels and the game gives the players so many options to make it fair. EV training is very easy as well.

Peak pokemon

Thicc ass game. Valor great sword is so much fun

Good but very easy. Amazing with harder enemies enabled as you have to make use of all the stuff available to you since enemies actually take more than a couple hits to kill

Absolute blast with a group of friends

Good cause Serra. Found it average and solid in all aspects

The perfect fe in terms of gameplay but the story is abysmal

Fun pre cloud/bayo if your circle pad isn't broken from playing this game 24/7. Good memories playing this with people via local 3ds wireless play

Kino of Sorrow. For real though I believe that is game is one of the best metroidvanias

The best one

Too easy. Even easier than the ogs. The new megas and soaring are great

still better than new horizons

Step down from 2 but still great. Some of the cases felt bland and boring but it definitely had the best first case in the series

Friendship destroyer.

Great gameplay and difficulty but some of the levels are boring hallways. Game is a great mix of classic and igavania with my favorite soundtrack in the series. Villager quests were disappointing as most of them involved farming monsters to get their low percentage drops. Shanoa is also the best protag.
