jakk8399 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I'm done with this game. I'm done with the rage and frustration it brings. I'm done with the one-sided battles. I was told v9 was easier, so I played on normal mode, I just got past Sheridon town, and the game has not gotten easier. It has gotten 10x harder it feels, with one Pokemon being at lvl31 because it ends up being the last one after a near sweep, and the rest at lvl27-28. I figured fine, I'll just go to the tent place in Gearen city, and change the difficulty to easy, that'll work right? Nope. did nothing, still got swept twice by a Cinccino (now lvl 25, previously 28). Still got swept by Rorrim B. because there's no point paralyzing an enemy when it does nothing. So what's the point in playing anymore?I'm at the limit of frustration I can take with this game, because since they got rid of the breeders to help you train, I have to grind on Pokemon that give little experience. And I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't feel like grinding for hours on end to make 10 minutes of progress. So I'm done. Pokemon Rejuvenation beat me. I'm honestly so done with losing every step of the way. (Rant Over) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartar Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) I'm sorry that you didn't find this game to be enjoyable, and wouldn't want to force anyone into playing something they disliked. And since you don't seem interested in advice as how to progress, I'll just say: Thanks for giving this game a try, I'm sure you will find many other great fan-made Pokemon experiences that are more to your tastes if you search for them.

They probably took xp from the rest. Honestly don't know, I just give up to be honest, can't beat the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Noibat, it did fall behind because it kept getting knocked out when I would use it. I tried to switch train it in trainer battles.

Zarc Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I think there is no " good " teams , just make the team you want and you feel good with her , at this moment your pokemons haven't evolve yet so it's normal that you encounter somes difficulties EDIT: As i see with your team , yeah having a pichu at this state of the game is not helping you , you have to evolve him first in my opinion ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try again tomorrow, and if I keep losing I might as well restart again. If I do, might go with Chimchar, fire fighting type early on would probably be good, wouldn't have to train up 2 pokemon to the rest of the team, and open up new options.

Expand If you ever decide to restart the game again,i recommend getting a Swoobat with simple ability.Just use calm mind 2 or 3 times and use confusion and air slash.Swoobat will really help you early game.If you are interested in using pichu,you can use the hair saloon to increase your pichu's happiness.You can also catch a grubbin which has some good level up moves. Lastly,there are many topics here that will help you along the way.If you are interested,just post a topic and there will be many people to help you.

Daniel Blackworth Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Well, the first playthrough is almost always more challenging than subsequent playthroughs, so that must be what you're experiencing. I made a 2nd playthrough when V9 was released, and I didn't find it particularly hard (normal mode) due to the way I structured my team to handle threats. You should try using Toxic / Toxic Spikes Garbodor for that fight and Calm Mind Swoobat; that's why I used to defeat Marianette and the other leaders, along with some other good pokemon you can find in the areas there.

Animefan666 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Something I see somewhat often is mixing Physical and Special attacks on a Pokemon when most excel at one or the other. I tend to stick to one type so as to maximize damage. Also, don't waste move slots on field moves like HM's. IMO it's better if you load up as few Pokemon with as much field moves as possible. Sandshrew and Pelipper can use almost every field move between the two (the only exception is Waterfall.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siragon Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I would recommend Midday Lycanroc instead of his Midnight brother. The speed difference really matters and i don't count the number of times were Accelerock saved me. Vivillon is also a good pokemon until the second to third badge. Don't neglect the status move, the burn and paralysis may be nerf since the 7th gen, but it's always useful in reducing the stats of the opponent. And, if you're bored in grinding, don't forget you can now speed up the game with 'alt'. It's not too much, but you won't spend 5 hours to up a pokemon.

BRS swag Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) Effort value(EV) training your pokemons will get you out of the mess. Use reverse candies on your mons to keep them within the level cap and train them. Believe me, I fought against the 7th gym leader(ice) type and won only after resetting for some 2 weeks.......coz it was intense mode. Only 3 of my mons (Swampert, Magneton, Stoutland) were useful on her. If battles are too tough, consider using some hold items like berries or others or try teaching ur pokemons moves which can remove the field effect or use it to their advantage. You will definitely win i.e., if u are interested to play the game. Take your time. It's not like i'm advertising the game but your decision is the best for yourself. If u need any help with EV training, just ask anyone. They'll help ya. Edited June 17, 2017 by BRS swag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartar Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Welp, that was surprisingly quickly you decided to give it another go. Good luck with your game, and hopefully you won't get stuck again. Remember that you can always change the game back to Easy Mode whenever you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
