>Gen 1Very nonlinear and you can skip gyms, but given the levels by the time Blue evolves his starter fully you should have gotten through 5 or 6 gyms.
>Gen 2Again nonlinear, but 7 or 8 gyms in the original (HGSS changed the conditions) before Silver's starter is fully evolved.
>Gen 3Never evolved lol
>Gen 45 gyms for Barry's starter, right before the 6th
>Gen 57 for Bianca, 8 for Cheren, 6 for Hugh
>Gen 65 for Calem/Serena
>Gen 7No gyms lol, but Hau doesn't get his final form until you're storming the bad guys lair.
