>>43821779>>43821801Back in my day we didn't just level past our problems, we tackled the game as it was.
You're at a disadvantage because the gym leader has higher levels than you? Cool, the advantage is you know his team beforehand. He kicked your ass the past three times but now you know his team, and you can build your team around his. You have six pokemon he only has three or MAX five.
First off, you have a type advantage. That's great. He's grass, you go fire. He's fire, you go water. Secondly, his ace is going to be resistant to typical type advantages so take that into account. Go catch a new pokemon, try it out, see if it suits you.
This is how we used to play pokemon games back when we were kids. We didn't grind past our problems and gym leaders weren't something it took us one repeat MAX to beat. Get good kiddo.
