>>20246390The difference is pretty bad I wont deny that, if they bumped up the levels a bit or the exp rate then it would be better, but I would rather have that than the gym leaders almost being equal in levels to wild pokemon.
Example, Wulfrics pokemon are in their mid 50s except his Avalugg, in the routes next to Snowbelle wild pokemon can be found in their early 50s.
It makes the idea of a gym leader look easy when their levels are that bad and not present as much of a challenge.
