>Pokemon
I don't struggle with Pokemon, actually. That's one of the few games where its easy enough I can play it with basically no difficulty.

In Pokemon I can just overlevel my mons and it makes the game pretty simple. I usually look up the gym leader's highest level Pokemon and level my whole team to be at least a couple levels above that.

I will say though, the gym leader rematches in Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl made me fucking rage hard. They were all EV-trained apparently, and even with overleveling I kept getting wrecked.

>Mario
Now MARIO on the other hand, his games are actually fucking hard.

Sunshine is the obvious one there. I have horrifying memories as a child of playing the FLUDD-less levels and just screaming at the top of my lungs from anger due to how much I was dying. I wouldn't be any better at those levels even today.

Mario 64 also makes me rage due to how easy it is to fall off into pits or miss jumps. And I can't time the Bowser-throws in the boss sections AT ALL.

But the hardest Mario games for me are any of the 2D ones. I just simply cannot play them, not even at a basic level. Last year I tried to play New Super Mario Bros U. I lost all my lives in world 2 and game overed. It's just too fucking hard. The platforming is too precise, there are too many enemies to avoid, and the cost of losing lives is too punishing.
