>>21717685It keeps getting worse.
I did find out that by talking to trainers after you beat a Gym, you can rebattle them, and they have a stronger team (that's stronger than that of the Gym Leader), so I gained a couple of levels from that at least.
The third Gym Leader uses Flying-types, has Candice's sprite, and she has a Lv. 20 Doduo, Lv. 18 Murkrow, and Lv. 20 Noctowl. Her Murkrow had Aerial Ace so I couldn't even cheese through it with Sand-Attack and save states. I was given five Potions a while ago and had to use them all. Crystal Kaizo was balls-hard in a fair way, this is just making you have to grind (or in my case cheese your way through with states).
That's the third Gym Leader that I know of, I have to figure out where the plot wants me to go next since all the other areas need HMs. I'll have to pick up an HM slave too, I think I can afford Pokéballs by now
