The leaders i omit are those that i have nothing to add:
Keta is now a double battle, and can be quite a rollercoaster, yet fun.
Revenant Keta was a pretty big jump in difficulty, especially on intense, but at least normal got toned down. I tried to cheese the game this time arouna and he still made it difficult for me to do
Marianette That's subjective. The biggest issue i had with Marianette was her Ambipom lead with the power to ohko stuff with fake out and tail slap/beat up. I was lucky i had my trusty Solrock and the AI was too dumb to use Beat Up.
Valarie Intense Valerie continues to be an easy fight for me, and this time around, nothing changed about that. I didn't even prepare for the qwilfish. I just used what i thought would be the best lead from my team for the situation and succeeded.
Crawli... you call him too much, but every time i have fought him, i didnt struggle much. I also helped some people who struggled with him, using their own teams, and was able to beat him in 1-2 tries. So i can't share the sentiment at all. If a fight has objectively good pokemon but still does not require excessive struggling, i think it should be considered fine.
I do agree with th difficulty mode name changes tbh....
You will probably feel sorry about Madelis in the future...
Also yeah the two choices are indeed too similar damn shame.
The picture with the car is so good. The samurott face is like "Wait.. did we win? How? and when?"
