>>53178387No it doesn't. Arceus worked fine without scaling and nobody wants it there. SV could have worked by making the areas very distinct by making Pokémon at certain areas distinctly higher level.
You don't meet level 50 Pokémon until the very last area. There is no Level 70+ area.
They could have made leveling slower and used the full range until 100 instead of only half.
That way you easily have 8 distinct areas where you get a feel in which order you should make them.
Make the Elite 4 actually have Level 90+ Pokémon if you don't allow rematches.
Make the Gym leaders at least 5 levels higher than the wild Pokémon around him. It's literally that easy to make Pokémon challenging
