There's a difference between difficulty and tediousness, and grinding in SoulSilver is the latter.

Ok then how is it that it's impossible for me to knock out my Rival's level 18 Bayleaf, when I'm using a level 15 Spearow. That is only a three level difference and shouldn't be a hassle when using Flying moves but the stupid can't die cause keep using Sympethis and it just becomes an endless frustrating loop.

Because Bayleaf is bulky and Spearow is a weak pokemon? What you're saying is that you're not as bad as this game as you are in Soul Silver. Try the Pokemon World Tournament and try beating the Champions tournament. Or go have a random wifi battle at the right counter on the second floor of any pokecenter. Then tell me again that Soul Silver is "harder".

Pokemon games were never challenging during main game. Lol

Wohohohoh stop right there! Pokemon Red and Blue's Elite Four were very hard due to their very high leveling!

If you're talking about RNG abuse. Yeah....

The only difficult game was ruby and sapphire and that's only because of how few decent choices there are. If you play through it twice with a completely different team you'll find it much more difficult.

Lol. Ruby & Sapphire were hard? As a child those games were incredibly easy.

I think the problem with Pokémon games is that the difficult depends solely on how the player plays. For example, the way I play involves a rotation leveling system, no grinding on wild encounters, hardly any use of items, a well-balanced team that can one point or another learn all HMs, and no use of legendaries (although that is there to change very recently, but only one per team). Playing this this way not only makes things interesting, but also very difficult.

But the problem is that it's only difficult due to the way I play. If I chose to max out my starter and use a bunch of HM slaves (I did something like this on my very first Pokémon playthrough in Gold), most of the game would become laughably easy.

I hope that they take this game's difficulty levels and expand on it even more. I think having more selectable difficulty levels would satisfy all players. Challenge Mode is nice, but there's still people that can blitz through it. I would prefer something at the level of Pokemon Stadium 2 (maybe for the hardest difficulty level).
