It's actually fucking impossible to not overlevel in this game I swear. I skipped almost all the non mandatory trainer battles (about half maybe a bit less) and fainted 0 wild mons and was still slightly overleveled for misty and surge and was super overleveled for erika. Like how is it that I have to seriously TRY to not overlevel for this chunk of the game? It seems like they knew this too because immediately after the levels of trainers jump by several levels to something a little more reasonable, but then the level curve just HALTS all progression till victory road, while you keep growing. Like you'll be in your early to mid 40s after blain fighting trainers with mons in the low 30s. Why does nobody ever mention this when discussing gen 1? It feels more teeth grindingly annoying than gen 2 as well because there is literally nothing to do in this game but battle, and often you're fighting dozens of horrendously underleveled opponents, some with 4 or 5 pokemon
It's so unfun it's unreal
