I'd be able to enjoy this game a lot more if there was better balance.
It's not normal for that one battle girl on Route 3 using a Cinccino with Skill Link, 5 levels under my pokemons to wipe the floor with my team, especially on Casual difficulty.
I lowered it down from Normal to Casual because of the second gym where his Hawlucha just destroyed me, even my pokemons that resisted his attacks were losing 50% of their HP from not very effective moves. Then on casual mode he had only three pokemon and was absurdly easy.
And I won't even start discussing how bothersome the fact that non-traded pokemons stop obeying you the moment they reach one level beyond your current level limit. Usually it's the farther you are from your limit the more likely it is to disobey, whereas Rejuvenation completely disregards this mechanic and Pokemons don't do anything the second they go past the level limit.
I shouldn't be banging my head against the wall from how hard the game is on Casual when I lowered it from Normal to Casual in the first place because of the difficulty. I mean, sure, my team isn't exactly made of really good pokemons, I have Charmeleon, and underleveled Pancham, Noibat, Stunky and Graveler, but it shouldn't be *this* hard.
Anyways, beside the above rant, I'm liking the game, but as I said I wish what was supposed to be a fun time didn't become such an ordeal.
