I dont really get how you are supposed to progress through the game, i thought it was gonna be related to proximity, checking wild pokemon levels and obstacles that needed to be climbed or surfed through, however, this is barely ever the case. I just beat whatever i find using strategy, even if i'm not supposed to beat it yet, and then the lower level battles i just end up doing them too late and suck. The challenge from being underleveled is fun, but it makes the overall experience inconsistent, i'd prefer being slightly underleveled in all matches if possible.

Scaling is not so hard to implement, the game is tracking in what order you are defeating everything anyways.
