Balanced level & Love?
 
I was wondering, I've been doing this since Pokemon came out, but do other people make a team, like for this:

Totodile
Bulbasaur
Hoothoot

And then train them all in a order until they reach a certain level? Like for me in the Beginning of the game, I'll train them all up to ten. Once one reaches lv. 10, I'll move onto the next on and when they are all complete, I start again but with a higher level.

Is anyone else this organized with Pokemon leveling or am I freak?

Christopher June 7th, 2010 10:09 PM

I raise my pokemon's levels collectively I find it easier to do

SgtPatches June 7th, 2010 11:19 PM

I usually level by increments of 5 for each gym leader.

Eurydice June 7th, 2010 11:29 PM

i tend to train all of my pokemon up to level 10 before the first town then i train them all up by 5-10 levels depending on the gym

MagitekElite June 8th, 2010 7:37 PM

^ So you level them off in chunks, right?

I mean for gym one I'll be level 10 first and then 20 for second.

I'll level them up until they are both perfect in level. I think I'm crazy lol

Yup. I do the exact same thing. Level them all up equally. What sucks though is that as you add members to your team, it takes longer, plus wild pokemon are generally MANY levels below your team, so new ones have to catch up.

grodkorv June 9th, 2010 4:17 AM

i do it just like you! even if the stats are extremly different..

shengar June 9th, 2010 4:40 AM

I'm quite like you, although bit different. One of my rule is"No ten level difference between pokemon in the party" but I scale the level according when i got them. example if my Chikorita is level 15, then my second pokemon should be 14 or 13.

Flare Riqueza June 9th, 2010 10:37 AM

I tend to try to keep them roughly the same...

For example, my team currently consists of:

Notch-Eared Pichu lv.31
Croconaw lv.28
Sneasel lv.23

However, I'll raised Notchi in Pokewalker, as it'll level up less than the others.
Sneasel will go up massive levels in the gym at Ecruteak.
Croconaw generally goes up a bit, and will be used when I raise a weak pokemon (Sneasel gets KO'd on switch-ins).

So it'll end up something like this, and I'll be happy:

Notchi lv.32
Croconaw lv.30
Sneasel lv.27

As long as they're similar.

xPsychosocial June 9th, 2010 10:48 AM

I try to keep my Pokémon levels equal although some are used more often than others so they sometimes some of them are 2 levels higher.

I tend to train them up at least 5 levels when entering a new town, I'm not sure why I do this. I've always done it.

LethalTexture June 9th, 2010 11:09 AM

I usually go Lv. 20 for the first Gym, 25 for the second, 30 for the third, 35 for the fourth, 40 for the fifth, 45 for the sixth, 50 for the seventh, 55 for the eighth, setting me up nicely with six Lv. 60s for the Elite Four.

nm legend June 9th, 2010 11:19 AM

i kinda do the same thing but i like to have by begginer pokemon to be a bit higher on the levels just to make it special and it makes it easier for me to train the rest of my team for a gud part of the game....... but now their all lv55 with two being 56.....and i aint even start the kanto region yet....

I train my main team Pokemon like this also. It's not freaky, it's smart.

NickofTime June 9th, 2010 3:53 PM

yeah i usually only use 3 pokemon but usually my starter is about 10 levels higher than the lower 2
when i played emerald for the first time i thought a team of six was the way to go, however i found that unless i trained against wild pokemon i would be way underleveled
this changed when the vs seeker came out of course, but in hg/ss i still did only 3 pokemon
typlosion
togekiss
dragonite
this way i can finish the game in a week and get back to competitive battling

adhdguitar June 9th, 2010 3:59 PM

Whenever one of my Pokemon gains a level, I immediately switch out a new one and keep them all equal. The only exception is my starter, which I always keep at least 1 level higher than everyone else.

MagitekElite June 9th, 2010 8:09 PM

Okay, I thought I as going crazy for Pokemon lol
Thanks everyone.

Whoo, glad I'm not the only one. I thought it was smart, but my two younger brothers say I'm crazy. They abuse the other Pokemon, keeping them 11-20 levels under. :c

Its sad. T.T

Well, how long have you've guys kept your training chart? Since Pokemon, or recently?

Neelh June 9th, 2010 10:07 PM

I level them up crazily. If one isn't being that good, I Fly back to NBT.

Aniris June 9th, 2010 11:43 PM

I do it too. I pick a couple for my team and try to train them to the same levels.

Since my first Pokemon Game, Red Version. I'm feel sorry for my pokemon if not all of them not properly level up, like my charmeleon evolve to Charizard while my pikachu under level 20.

Digital Wings June 10th, 2010 2:45 PM

I am also obsessive like OP. All their levels have to be equal, one by one.

Ahahaha, obsessive. Yes, that's the term I use :D

XxRogueTrainerxX June 10th, 2010 4:06 PM

I tend to overlevel a lot. Like for Morty, the fourth gym leader, my lowest level was 27 and my highest was 31... his highest level was 25.

ltsang June 10th, 2010 4:42 PM

It only depends if I can find any good pokemon. I do it to my totdile. I train it to its high level then I move on with my next training. By the time I reach the Elite 4 my pokemon won't be as strong as it is. By the time I get to the elite 4. All my pokemon are in the 40's. So then I train them in the wild.

KnilShadowLink June 10th, 2010 10:19 PM

Nah I usually do the same...I tend to have my pokemon around level 15 for Falkner, 18ish for Bugsy, 20ish for Whitney and then I usually abuse game mechanics and purposly beat Morty's first Gastly. Haunter, and then lose to his Gengar for easy exp (I usually get my team to level 30 doing this), 34 for Chuck, 36 for Jasmine, 38 for Pryce, and 42 for Clair. I then train my team up in Victory Road to level 47 then I use my Rare Candies and challenge the Pokemon League :p

Oh and I started doing this around my Saphire version. Hehe I remember when I would go through my pokemon Blue and only use my Blastoise xD I taught him moves like Fissure, Hydro Pump, Skull Bash, and Blizzard when I challenged the elite 4...I don't know how I did that O_O I did the same on my Silver, but with Typhlosion hehe He knew Flame Wheel, ThunderPunch, Hidden Power, and Hyper Beam...don't ask me how I remember those movesets.

MagitekElite June 11th, 2010 3:47 PM

^ I remember starting with Pokemon Red GC. My older brothers and ma would say it looked a little obsessive. And I was a child *laughs*
