I played every game except red and blue so I thought I would give them a try.

Why are these so easy?
I'm currently at the 4th gym and I already have 3 Pokemon (Nidoking, Arcanine and Jolteon) that are 10 levels above the rest (without grinding).

People are really over-exaggerating the easiness of the newer gens.

Someone post that image of some of the movesets used by other trainers.
