On Leader Difficulty

Chaos replied with this on my status; I wanted to bring it into a topic so it wouldn't be so cluttered, and to open up for others' feedback

can you maybe make the leaders a bit harder? aya and florinia were great. The rest, on the other hand, didn't tickle by battle organ quite as well.

The problem is it's hugely dependent on the team you have. We see this even in our online league; one leader can be easy for one person and a nightmare for another. So far, the only leader that I actually haven't heard much grief about is Kiki, meaning there's a decent chance I'll make her more difficult.

As for leaders going forward, I think it's a little fun if the last leader of an episode is particularly hard. I saw this with Florinia and Shelly in particular, both of whom have been toned down from their previous states considerably. I realised after Kiki that since it's the 'final' challenge (for a while) that them being harder actually gave people a bit more to work for and tide themselves over. So, with Aya, I made her deliberately more difficult than I would otherwise, and I feel like this has worked. If necessary I'll tone her down on the next release. This is probably a pattern I'll preserve with future episodes.

So basically y'all playin' month by month are in for a rocky road c:

I would love some hard to beat leaders, i have been playing this game for a month or 2 now and since last release i have just been training random pokemon to lvl 45 ^^

-Charizard -Golem -Seismitoad

-Flygon -Toxicroak -Dodrio

-Luxray -Gallade

-Camerupt -Ludicolo

The harder the challenge to more i can test certain team comps :)

Rather than levels or moves, what made Aya difficult for me was the fact that all my pokemon had passed the level cap at that point. I realise when you're trying to squish so many gyms in you have to cap it more, but a lot of people seem to have experienced the same thing so I would say to raise the level cap before Aya just a bit. It is a long stretch to go without a Gym Badge, particularly because of all the trainers in Apophyll.

As you yourself have said, it is hugely dependant on your team. Because I had a Combusken, Florinia was no trouble at all for me. Corey, on the other hand...I feel that the leaders are at reasonable levels of difficulty as they are now. I have no particular desire for them to be harder, but maybe other people do.
