>>43557125>Those levelsEmbarrassing, you basically ruined the challenge because now everything's gonna be a curb stomp. You're fucking supposed to be underleveled when you fight them, it's why the badge boosts and EVs exist, it's the edge you gained on your journey, they have raw power, but you have the experience of the adventure on your side, represented by levels and the previously mentioned badge boosts and EVs respectively. It's meant to make you feel like you're fighting an uphill battle when in reality it's mostly even terrain behind the scenes. I may be over stating it, but i feel like people who grind excessively in pokemon games just because they aren't the same level as their opponents are ruining the creator's intended experience
