Explain To My Friend: Training o.o'

[xMizuOokami]

Ok, I have this friend thats semi-new to Pokemon Games..
I have two Platinum Games, and I need to Complete my PokeDex, soo
I let him make a new account on Platinum..

Well Hes almost to the second gym, But Wants lv100 Pokemon o.o;

What he likes to do is Catch a million pokes and only train his starter..
I kepp trying to explain to him the reasoning of All the Pokemon Being trained, but he just doesnt understand, hes 9


So Could You Write A Little Something, I could tell him, That explains why to train ALL His pokemons. lol

He's just nine. That's a rather impressionable age. Just tell him a lie like, "If you don't raise other pokeymans, your Piplup will die. D:"

He needs to understand that, even with a lv100 Torterra, A lv50 Rapidash, will still probably win, lol.
The point of having other pokemon being lved up is so Then You have veriety when battling, and then you have advantages against other pokemon.

Like I said before with the Toreterra..
If you have a Lv100 Seaking, Your still going to loose against a Raichu, lol

So Either, Show him this or just let him find out himself.

But Yeah I would Show huim this and show him a example on youtube, or somthing.
Hope I helped x3

I wish I could help you, but...I kinda still use the same strategy he does. My lead Pokemon (usually my starter) is always being trained. I always give the lead a moveset that can sweep anything, so I haven't really had too many problems with the strategy. I do train my other pokemon, though, just not as much as my lead.
