Maybe its just me, but I haven't had any loss of progress and I've done many short Johto runthroughs of the game at max throttle. I still get the glitchy sprites once in a while but the game doesn't crash for me.

Boy, people sure are getting retarded, aren't they? You should never have to grind in any pokemon game. Just battle the fucking trainers and your team will be leveled enough. What the hell does what the other anon said have to do with being a GF shill anyway? Children need to stop trying it fit in on this board by throwing just anything they hear on here into completely unrelated topics

Theres really no reason you arent at level 38-40 by Clair. Unless youre constantly catching many Pokemon and letting everyone soak up exp instead of building up a few main mons you shouldnt have this problem.

Yeah HGSS has shit leveling but it really doesnt matter till the postgame.

Stop being a fucking tryhard, I shouldn't need to battle every single trainer I find, only the ones that I can't evade, and even that is a stretch.
But you know what really would help though? Something that levels my entire team while only using one pokemon. Having to always switch leading pokemon is such a chore.

Except if you use a team of six. The only way you'll be at levels 38-40 at Clair without offset grinding is if you use a team of four or less. Even if you have a six mon team and you battle every single trainer and beat every wild encounter, there simply isn't enough EXP to be at those levels.

Why do people even grind against wild Pokémon? Just grind against the boss. They do have multiple Pokémon after all.
That said, the only time I ever needed to grind was in Silver and that was because I was 9/10 and didn't know what I was doing. I just beat up Will's first couple Pokémon until I could beat his whole team. No need to fight some puny wild Pidgey. You also have the Pokégear rematches if you can't even beat the boss's first Pokémon.

I feel you. Had to replay HG to catch 'em all about two years back (I had a living dex, then was stolen from bag, so restarted the journey), and the first part / last part is brutally bad game design. Having to grind so much just to face the first gym leader is torture.

And when do you have your full team? Do you pour your exp into raising and boxing every early route Pokemon? Do you skip every trainer? Because this sounds like what youre doing.

Anyway youre using the "level curve" meme wrong. GSC/HGSS's level scaling sucks because its so easy to get overleveled. If you are falling behind you are doing a lot of things wrong.

No. I would catch a pokemon, and if I want to use it, I'll add it in the team. If not, I'd add it in the box I tested this multiple times with multiple parties of six pokemon with at least 3 of them consisting of no grinding. You'd only be overleved before Morty, and after morty since everything is regulated around the mid 20s, you'll definetely be underleveled by the time you get to clair.. I've always ended up around levels 32-36 by the time I reached Clair, and when I get to the E4, I would be around levels 36-40. I fought every trainer possible, I explored every optional cave and dungeon and I would still be around these levels. Theres just too many NFEs in the game for you to be overleveled with a team of six after morty.
