>>51128181I prefer this over level scaling as long as the "first" few gym leaders aren't pathetically low levelled -- experience and levelling up is easier than ever to collect due to raids, exp, candies, etc with these games.
I like this more than scaling because with scaling you're guaranteed every gym leader will be piss easy just like any other pokemon games. At least here I can check out the first gym, then have some fun making a beeline for the 6th gym. Let's say 6th gym is ice, I would look around to make an underlevelled team of fire/steel/fighting/rock types, and have a go at it using the type advantage and Tera mechanic to make up for the level differential. Then I would catch a new team of pokemon for the next gym I decide to go for. This is more interesting to me, because at least I know I can try to make a challenge out of the last 5-8 gyms, rather than all of them being easy. Anyways I still get why people want scaling.
