Still difficult. I need hearts to befriend new Pokémon, but I need the new Pokémon to get enough stars. Even if I replay old maps, after a while I still need more hearts, stars and acorns which I can't accrue. Pokémon is a multibillion dollar franchise. I buy some games, but I'm not buying acorns. Nintendo is still out of touch with what makes people happy. Hint: it's not stupid microtransactions.
