The level curve will almost certainly be based around you completely tasks like catching certain Pokémon or battling certain Pokémon, so it makes sense that you would get EXP in both cases. There’s probably gonna be like a dozen trainer battles through out the whole game, and a handful of mandatory Pokémon battles, so aside from that I’m willing to bet EXP gain will be (loosely) controlled by the tasks you’re given. The idea is likely that, no matter what you’re doing in the game, be it catching Pokémon, battling Pokémon, or just exploring randomly, you’re ultimately doing what you’re supposed to be doing anyway, so I have faith the level curve will follow suit
