Do battles ever stop being reliant on hax?

Hey guys,

So I recently started playing Reborn and I'm totally in love with some aspects of the game - it's like Pokemon but if Game Freak ever took a risk!

My only problem is with the battles. They're harder, and that's great (in theory) but so far the difficulty is coming from the enemies being packed with hax. Apparently the easiest way to make a tougher experience is to make it so that every story trainer comes equipped with confusion. I guess I'm just a little frustrated with getting smacked down over and over because the CPU pokemon exploit the most frustrating aspects of the game.

Does this get better or is this just a general trend?

EDIT: Guys in the three weeks since I've posted this thread, I've put 48 hours into this game and have just beaten Noel - going so far as to go back, find Corey's Nidorina, soft-reset to get the best nature and ability, then EV trained it 30 levels to abuse his entire battle.

Suffice it to say that I am now On Board With Reborn.
