>>19632925Yeah, what 90% of this dumbfuck board doesn't understand was that the level scaling "problem" in Gen 2 was intentional.
The levels seem to come to a steady halt in progression at Ecruteak, because you can actually do the 5th, 6th, and 7th Gyms in any order. They were maximizing player freedom. To add to this, I have NEVER had problems with levels during the main course of the game.
Kanto? It's the Post-Game, you're supposed to be against the odds here, but you know what? HG/SS even added Gym Leader re-matches for you to grind on. If you utilize this ASAP, you'll find that as you naturally progress through the Post-Game, while returning to defeat Gym Leaders as you unlock them, you can be battling Red in a week, and thats with minimal grinding.
People that complain about HG/SS level scaling are either dumbfucks that don't know how game development works, or if you can believe it, too short-attention spanned to be able to handle a challenge/babby-tier grinding in a fucking RPG.
