>>35284510Honestly people complain about gen II's level curve a lot, but gen I wasn't much better.
I'm finally replaying Fire Red after not having picked it up since gen IV, and after Rock Tunnel it kind of goes to shit scaling-wise. Like, the Rockets in the Game Corner will come at you with sub-level 20 Zubats, even though you should be past 25 by then. Even after Cycling Road, the bird trainers in the beginning of Fuchsia City barely pass level 20 with their shitty birds, despite the fact that their city's gym leader has level ~40 Pokémon.
