>>47502588Look bro i swear to god i'm not trolling. Let me explain it the best way i possibly can
The level curve is not awkward, it's awful and it almost seems like a shitpost. The trainer levels are weak as fuck by design and not because they had to take 16 gyms into account. Example
>>47502546. You've already beaten 8 gyms and an elite four only to be faced by lvl 30 pokemon, why? no one knows
>The xp is spread out more thinlyMaybe because you're constantly fighting underleveled opponents, there's no excuse, Gold and silver are sequels, they already made a whole generation before that and the first games actually had a reasonable level curve so either they decided to make it shit on purpose or they didn't care at all and just went full retard, either way we can all see the results
>The elite 4 in gsc is the halfway point in the gameThe kanto gym leaders have the following ace levels
-Erika: 46
-Janine 39
-Brock: 44
-Surge: 46
-Sabrina:48
-Misty: 47
-Blaine: 50
And the strongest one
-Blue: 58
If you level capped yourself at Lance's strongest pokemon (lvl 50) then your team would be at a higher than 6 out of 8 gym leaders and with the exp you gain for defeating them you'll break the tie with Blaine and catch up to Blue easily. After that there's only the Red fight left, and what's his WEAKEST pokemon? A lvl 77 Espeon
There's more than enough room to adjust the levels and make a smooth progession but for some reason they decided to actually decrease them then raise them slighty and then just raising them 20+ levels. The level curve it's only "awkward" because they decided to go with some balls to the walls retarded game design
Also they're the ones who decide how much exp is available/given to the player so that's not an excuse
>>475027711. From the three posts you quoted i only wrote the second one.
