I've been waiting for a USUM thread for a while now
I started UM just a few days ago since I've been putting gen 7 aside for some time
one thing that is concerning me since the very few moments is that my pokemon are leveling up way too fucking fast to the point where I'm outleveling most trainers by 4 to 5 levels on average, I specefically made it a point when I started to not kill any wild pokemon at all to avoid this situation, so only exp I've gotten so far is either from trainer battles or from capturing pokemon, and a few wild pokemon that I accidentally killed while trying to catch, but those are very few, and still I find myself way too overleveled, I even had to box my starter after not using it for a while because of it, and still have the same problem with the other pokemon I've catched. Team wide exp share definitely doesn't help, but I feel like turning it off is hindering too much, I wish I could keep it on for certain pokemon and turning it off for others
Im at paniola town right now just after route 4, and my team is mostly around level 20-21, except this bagon that I found very randomly and got lucky with that is much lower
my question is, is this a common problem for this game? and if it evens out as I advance a little more or if it's just going to keep snowballing even more in which case I might consider turning exp share off? because after just a short while I started to get bored of that. Yes I know mainline, pokemon is made for children and was never hard in the first place, but this is affecting my experience more so than other ones
