At first I really hated the difficulty for normal mode but it changed once I became invested in the story, That's when I started to take it seriously where I try to make my teams weaknesses cover each other and use the fields for my advantages rather than just bulldozing it and hope for a crit or miss. Even if I lose multiple times, that feeling of satisfaction of beating your opponent and moving on with the story makes me more encouraged and motivated for the upcoming battles and building up my teams composition.
It's thanks to rejuv and reborn that I started to liked playing competitive and difficult pokemon games like Radical Red and Emerald Kaizo.
