Playing through this garbage now and it made me realize that for all the deserved shit Johto gets for its level curve, DP and it's remakes are almost just as bad.
Almost all the trainers and wild pokemon you encounter for nearly half the game are at highest level 25, but usually 15. I can't even use the team I want without being 10+ levels minimum above everything else, so I have to switch out to random mons for everything except some Gym battles and occasional boss fights.
Everyone is weak as hell up until Cynthia, where if you're underleveled you're gonna have a tedious battle, but if you're overleveled then you just curbstomp everything before her. It was horrible game design in 2006, and it's even worse now.
