Are Pokemon games supposed to end with grinding your whole party up 20+ levels before facing the Elite Four or do I just suck? How do I get better at these games?

Use X items and maybe grind a lil bit at the game corner to get a good tm
That's it. You can be 10 levels underlevelled and still win if you set up an X Speed and X Attack of your choice.
Alternatively, just wait for LGDP to simplify it even more.

In plat they lowered the level spike for the elite 4, you should be fine around area if your team is in the high 40s.

There is no such thing as a difficult battle in Pokemon.

In every RPG I play I always fight every encounter in the game. In Pokemon that includes all trainers and wild Pokemon.

at least post DP, those games had a horrible level gap between Volkner and Cynthia
you are given a tool that lets you rematch trainers who scale in levels as you do, use it

Most Pokemon games don't require grinding for the E4, Gen 4 probably needs the most out of any game.

In platinum the levels are actually quite forgiving, it's in games like DP that the grinding is insane. In past games, sure you were underleveled but you had the badge boosts by the time you were at the E4 which made up for it. in DP you're looking at being around level 45-50 for the league without any badge boosts anymore, and that's just unreasonable. Honestly tho DP is the only game with this issue, all gen 1-3 games had the badge boosts and every game from platinum onward had a much more forgiving level jump

DPPt are one of the hardest Pokemon games (Pt less so, but still)
everything else (except ~USUM) is easier
and thats a good thing
regardless use items in Pt and you should be fine

It was a yawnfest. Not sure how people enjoy D/P/Pt. I'm sure the post game is fun but the main game is as boring as it can get. The distortion world was a neat little thing, that's it.

Routes? What about caves? Those are also wild areas. Just because SWSH has a literal definition of "Wild Area" doesn't mean the term cannot be applied to previous gens, retard.

that only happened to me when I rotated my team too often, if you keep the same team with minor changes through the whole game you'll be in the right level gap to challenge the league

honestly i beat the game with pokemon about 15 levels under cynthia, it was hard but not absurdly so. Held items, movesets and maybe even x items would help you out a lot.

BW's postgame thaught me that level gaps matter less and less as you progress through the game. A level 10 mon rarely wins against a level 20 one , but a level 50 could easily defeat a level 60 woth a super effective move.
