Is it me or are those games much harder than usual Pokémon games?
Prior playing Heartgold I had played FireRed and Platinum and those two were pretty normal difficulty-wise, but here with Heartgold despite battling with everyone as I always do and not skipping anything the average level of my team is mediocre at best.
When I got to the Elite Four all my Pokémons (team of 6) were only lvl 37. I managed to beat Lance with my Gyarados using Avalanche (which all crit'd) and because his Thunders missed, but it was really by pure luck, had his Dragonites used Thunderbolt instead I wouldn't have passed him and would have probably been forced to level up my team 5 to 10 more level.
Now I arrived in Kanto but I haven't beaten a badge yet. I don't have ground type in my team so the thunder badge is just a joke. Tried the psychic one but I'd just get everything killed in one hit by Psychic. I realize my post might sound ridiculous since Pokémon games are not heard per se and I just need to level up, but here is the problem, even wild Pokémons in Kanto are freaking level 25 or something, I feel like the experience curve is sort of messed up. When I play Pokémon games I never "try hard" either, I play casually and usually make up a team of Pokémons I don't always play for the fun of it, so I sometimes end up leveling somewhat weaker ones thinking it'll be fine anyway.
