Why doesn't Game Freak just add a "Hard Mode" where every pokemon is 2-5 levels higher to their games...

Collectively, the eeveelutions have the most posts. Granted e621 isnt exclusively porn nor exhaustive
e621.net/forum_topics/33499

well no shit if you combine that many together it'll be higher, we're talking individuals

If I recall, Gardevoir/Charizard/Umbreon/Loppuny/Pikachu/Braixen

>list counts megas, gigantimaxes, regional forms and beta designs separately
I can't fap to this statistical methodology
at least the top 5/bottom 5 by gen doesn't do that.

A level cap would be more effective.

>Easy (default)
No level cap

>medium
Capped to 5 levels higher than the opponent

>hard
Capped to the opponent's level

>expert
Capped to 5 levels below the opponent.

>2-5 levels higher would be hard mode
All this does is inflate exp gain and you'll still be 5-10 levels higher than the npc trainers regardless. Pokemon isn't easy because of numbers. It's easy because they refuse to implement AI that uses moves strategically, nor do they give npc trainers pokemon that have good moves to begin with.
Why?
Because "competitive" pokemon just isn't fun and they know it. Only the most autistic of pokemon fans play pvp beyond a couple of battles. The entire battle system mechanics have to be overhauled into something actually entertaining and not a single person that works for gamefreak has the intelligence, creativity, or bravery to actually do it.

isn't umbreon up that high due to literally one autist?

still there's no way lucario isn't on the list, it's always changing but i'd be fucking shocked if it was bumped off

I also dont understand why thats the case but i guess those categorizations might be distinct enough when you're actually searching for wank material

Its leading by a huge margin
