>It's easier to beat the game while leveling 1 or 2 pokemon than it would be to raise an entire team of 6, which is nearly unfeasible due to the sparse inclusivity of level scalingI always raise an evenly leveled team of 6, and this run of Crystal was no exception. That's just how I prefer to play. My team included:
>Meganium>Xatu>Donphan>Ursaring>Sudowoodo>Cloyster (Fisher Tully luckily gave me a water stone right before the E4)Only raising 1 or 2 Pokemon is easier sure, it just isn't how I like to play
