Battle or Avoid?

[SinisterEternity]

I used to avoid, but now I battle.
Though I'll still avoid if I have to hurry for IRL reasons, or if my Pokemon are low on health and that I do not have any healing items.
But yeah, you know how hard it is to avoid some of them x)

Need the EXP, always battle
Plus, where's the fun if you avoid?!

In the early stages of the game I will always battle trainers and wild Pokemon. But once I get Fly, I usually avoid trainers just so I can get to a new city's Pokemon Centre, then I go back and face everyone, but can fly back just in case I get low on health.

It depends on my mood, but I'll generally avoid a few and battle a few. Bit of both. :)

The path of trainers or the pass of grass... Which one to choose?

I avoid, they're all boring, and they give me some stock of EXP in Real-Time such as grinding. I won't waste the EXP and the EVs on one Pokémon lead throughout the whole route. And besides, risking the grass may make a Shiny Pokémon appear, even doubling the prizes. If they got me tricked, I get my Pokémon out and get rid of them.

Battle. Then, depending on how many hit points I have left, I either go round, and catch new pokemon for the pokedex, or continue to the next city.

 

[Bagel Ben]

I always battle, 'cause I'm always scared of being underleveled when I reach the next gym. I also fight all wild pokemon I encounter.

I try to battle every trainer on the route so I can keep my Pokemon a good level. The only time I avoid is if I'm close to blacking out.
