>>19020383Why would feel the need to keep pace with the level curve?
>To defeat Falkner, Bugsy, Whitney just catch a fucking Geodude, they can't literally do shit against it (but even without one they're still pretty weak, expecially bugsy)
>Against MortyIt's not really that hard to defeat him, they even give you shadow claw near to Ecruteak, even a freaking Furret can run through this men, and also Croconaw learns bite by level up if you picked him as starter
>Against ChuckAh, you don't need to lvl up and you don't even need to have a good strategy either to win in that gym battle, that dude is just a living joke.
>Against JasmineYou should already have a water type up to this point (or a fire type if you really want to sweep her team in 5 seconds), but two magnemites are really not a thread to anyone.
>PryceDewgong and Piloswine... you really don't need hear anything else...
>Clair yeah, she has a lvl41 kindra, i can see why some people can consider her battle a little bit though, but really, that kingra's movepool is fucking shitty; smokescreen, hyper beam, the only water move it has is hydro pump and only has 5PP and 80 accuracy
...
Oh and yeah the E4 is really weak the only thing close to a real challenge is when you enter Lance room and yes, he has incredibly overleveled and OP Pokemon, but really that's the final boss (at least until Red) what do you espect to be a walk through the park?
