>>41062015I've been playing Renegade Platinum and VoltWhite 2 and this is pretty inaccurate in my experience.
>Renegade Platinum has an NPC dedicated to giving experience and EVs in Solaceon town, and chaining is easy grinding>VoltWhite has Audino, breeders (and a breeder with a Chansey after Driftveil), and Hoenn gym leadersIn both games, I had a stable of 8-10 Pokemon which I swapped depending on the gym. I personally appreciate the level of challenge and by the time I hit the 6th gym I felt like it had helped refine my team in a good way. I finished VW2 with:
>Lumineon (Ace)>Sawsbuck>Zebstrika>Cofagrigus>Mandibuzz>MienshaoWith a bunch of other Pokemon a little lower level in the PC. I'd just swap out Pokemon like Steelix if I was going to the water gym, etc.
