Git gud

I did the same, ended training 3 teams at the same time, and not a single problem.

I was like 10 turns below E4 when I got to them, and still steamrolled through it.

Game is seriously dumbed down. Gen V and Gen IV did it better, you can't deny it.

Anyone who played without Exp Share noticed the random difficulty spike around Geosenge?

I played through the game 3 times and I always had problems in that segment. That and that stupid Furfrou pair around Parfume Palace.

well no shit you're having trouble. if you're not using exp share, you can't keep swapping pokemon out of your party. you shouldn't even have a full party by the 4th gym. this is seriously pokemon 101

Rotating your party worked only in gen 5. Anywhere else you're just wasting exp points and potentially forcing yourself to grind.

GF couldn't bother to implement good exp system in XY, so they just gave players exp share at the start and called it a day.

XY has basically two modes: Very easy one when you use the exp share and a hard one when you dont use you, the levels goes up like crazy later on

Yeah the difficulty in X and Y is pretty weird. The first time I played through X I had the exp share on and steamrolled my way through everything. Then I started a new game without using the exp share and that's where things got interesting. The gym leaders were still a pushover but the E4 and Diantha (or rather just her gardevoir) were now actually a threat. I was also having more difficulty with the regular trainers than the gym leaders. It's like they knew everyone was just gonna use exp share and planned around it but did a really half-assed job

Exp curve in XY is fucked up, but people on these boards will ignore that and proceed to complain about gen 2.

That is literally the Nuzlocke choke point. I've only gotten through it without losing someone on one of my runs.
The Furrfrou couple ironically can't do much to another Furfrou.

Am I the only person who turns the EXP Share on as he needs to, like when you're trying to balance out team levels or something like that?

Also, making your Pokemon more affectionate in Amie grants an EXP Boost, so there's that, too.

I mostly play without it but i have no issues turning it on when it's grind time. It's when you leave it on the entire time that your party gets silly overleveled

That's the only one it didn't work in due to the way experience worked and how high the pokemon needed to be in order to evolve.

That's because gen 2 requires a fuck ton more grinding especially since capture Exp isn't a thing in either of the Johto games.

It requires no grinding until Red
The exp is fucked the other way, where progression ends after gym 5.
With a full team, I usually get to red sub 55.

With a full team that's literally impossible without the grinding you know. That's the level you'll get going solo.

This.
There's also nowhere good to grind either because the wild pokemon and trainers are so shitty, pre E4 is the worst too it's so fucking tedious to get more than one Pokémon past the 30s and after that the trainers don't give you nearly enough Exp.

I'm quoting him.
Also the Exp complaints are mostly about the Exp share. The scaling is almost never brought up unless someone is grasping for a point after using up the real problems.

I guess it's my fault for not remembering the exact level for my last full team run.
E4 is usually 42/3, so red around 50?
Point is, you really dont need to grind before that point.

It's more like
>fighting every trainer doesn't get me anywhere near that number without extra grinding or a lucky egg on multiple runs
Even 50 is too high for a full run without grinding.

I liked using the experience share to use two teams at once. Being able to use (and amie) with a bunch of different guys was great. It felt well with the two starters you get, with each one being a "leader". Having to choose 6 for the e4 kinda sucks though.

You stupid nigger, using nothing but your starter gets you to about 44 and not a bit higher before the elite 4. Any more levels are either gained through battling the E4 or extra grinding.
And that's if you fucking solo, having a full team is a grinding nightmare if you're trying to keep the levels in a 5 level range.
