Might restart my ruby and try this, I never actually did finish it because I couldn't catch Groudon(didn't want to masterball it) and the gave up and bought a DSlite to play SoulSilver. I don't fancy restarting either of my White or Platinum and if I restart SS it'll be for my Lance run, that kinda only leaves Ruby.

Amrun, did you ever get your WiFi + Dream World working?

To make it harder? Unless you do a monotype run or something like that then Pokemon is very easy. Hell, with type effectiveness and stat benefit, you can be taking pokemon 5-10 levels above you.

This isn't what I consider difficult.

This is what I consider boring and filled with grinding.

Also, I've never felt that Pokemon was always easy (what do you consider beating the game?). Of course, I seem to have the worst luck and always get hit by crits or effects or some other random shit that life decides to throw at me.

I'm curious at some of the names, though.

If you get to a pokemon like Whitney's Miltank then it can be quite difficult. It certains adds to the difficulty.

It doesn't matter if it's just beating the elite four(once/twice), beating Red if it's HGSS or completing the pokedex, it's not particularly difficult. It's time consuming but not particularly difficult. Add stipulations to the game makes it harder.

My level 10 spearow was the last to die, so rather than starting over I'm going to keep that guy. There are no more Pokemon around until we've done this gym, though

Have you got headbutt? You can get some from headbutt trees and there's some of those trees in Azalea.
