You don't HAVE to do anything, that's the fucking point. You could grind EXP or throw Pokeballs at lvl 60 mons until you have a full team of strong but disobedient mons if you want. You can do whatever you want, you aren't forced to do the "right" order. If you don't want to stomp the first gym leader, then follow the natural level progression, simple as. You are responsible for how you decide to play the game, that's the interesting part. You can't complain about the game being simultaneously too linear and not linear enough, that makes no sense.
