Question Do you train your pokemon evenly?

Well do you?
I train my pokemon evenly half way through the game cause some points you really need to focus on a certain pokemon then others.

I never end up training my Pokemon evenly. I end up having one Pokemon become ridiculously powerful... and if that one Pokemon fails, it's the only motive for me to train another one.

This is, of course, at the beginning of the game. Even in my normal leveling tactics, I don't train my Pokemon evenly. One at a time for me.

I always make sure my Pokemon are within about 5 or 6 levels of each other, otherwise the game gets kinda boring.

I do when I need to beat gyms. Right now, playing through Platinum, I'm going to level up one or two Pokemon and have a couple low levels for healing/etc, and then when I'm done make a team for online.

Whenever I'm out (like not in a town) I'll get them all up to being the same level, then I'll rotate them each time one gains a level. In gyms, however, I prefer to just use the Poke'mon that have an advantage in that gym as much as possible and catch the others up later.

This is what I do, if I'm actually making a team.

I always level them up evenly, ever since a bad experience in Crystal where my Meganium was level 72 and everything else level 45 ._.;

I do for my in-game teams. You'll always find my highest level Pokemon (usually my starter) at the back of my team and lower level ones at the front.

After the Pokemon League it's anything goes.

Kind of. On my in-game teams, I try to keep a 5 level difference between the highest level Pokemon and the lowest level Pokemon of the team.

Generally, I try to level them up evenly. At the same time, I try to pit each Pokemon against other Pokemon which will give it the desired EVs (I hardly used Alakazam in the original version of Byron's gym, though he was slightly lower in level).

I level up my pokemon evenly. Just because they got lucky to be in my team, so it's my responsobility not to leave a single one a weakling~

Although my favorite stands out by a couple of levels. Usually it's my starter, but since I don't have it in my team now, my Houndoom is the strongest *_*

Yep, except I usually train the Pokemon that will have an advantage over the next gym a little more than the others, then it evens out.

Well back then when I was little, I would ALWAYS train my starter to be the only one that's indistructable.
Now I would train my entire team. One by one evenly.

For the most part, yes. If I start training a couple a few levels higher for an upcoming gym, then afterwards I will catch the others back up.

Yeh I try to but I always end up having one a few levels higher say five or six mainly my starter cause its usually the strongest so if one of my other team members die I usually switch it in depending on what pokemon I'm facing.
I never used to though, I used to always train my starter and another pokemon usually the first one I caught, they would be like mid 50's and the rest of my team would be high 30's or something

I normally start out trying to train all six of them evenly, but eventually, I become biased towards a certain few members of the team, so by the Elite Four, I have about three or four awesome Pokémon. This ALWAYS happens in my GBA games. In Platinum, I think the same thing occurred, but my team is now pretty equal all around.

I usually travel with a team of five or six, and I try really hard to keep them reasonably level. Sometimes though, I need to level particular Pokémon in order to beat a gym leader, and then it really can't be helped.

I train my team evenly if I am taking the game seriously. For example, when I buy a new pokemon game, I am very thorough and I keep my team around the same level. However, if I'm just using the game to get a certain pokemon (i.e. rushing through Fire Red to get Mewtwo) then I usually end up with an unbalanced team, such as having a starter at LV 60 and the rest at LV 20~30.

Starter is always ahead. I'm trying not to do that anymore after playing through SoulSilver, though. It might've just been that the level problem was still at work there, but I don't think I need to scatter my levels like that anymore. But on my other games where I'm still scattered, they're usually all within at least 5 levels of each other. ex: Starter on 45, the others are in between 40-44.
