Yeah and it was implemented in the most bizarre way possible. Iirc you practically had to beat the game before you could change the difficulty in either direction and the direction you could choose was version dependent. What is even the point of an easy mode you have to unlock by completing a challenge most of the way through the game?

It was possible to use them at the start of the game if you had a friend or family member that finished the game since you could swap records using the IR on the cartridge. But yeah, it was really dumb to include it as post game content, especially since if you have hard mode active is effects the GYM Leaders' rosters.
