Leveling up in Kalos is hard!
There was no way I could've known this without actually deciding to buy/play the game, but compared to the 5th gen, we're at quite the disadvantage this generation. Let's list all the key factors in Pokemon training between Unova and Kalos, each of the pros and cons.
Unova: -Small Court (6 Single Battles, 2 Double Battles) -Big Stadium (6 Single Battles, 2 Double Battles) -Black City (up to 7 trainers) -Royal Unova (up to 7 trainers) -Cheren -Bianca -Cynthia -GameFreak Morimoto -Many Wild Audino around lv. 50 -Elite Four -Pass Power (Experience Boost) Spoiler:
Kalos: -Battle Chateau -Serena/Calem -Emma/Essentia (Rarely) -Restaurants (Expensive Prices) -Elite Four -Exp. All returns as Key Item -O Power - Exp. Power -Harder to earn more money/earn back what you spend. Spoiler:
BTW, I'm not going to challenge the Elite Four everyday just to level up my Pokemon. I usually save that after my Pokemon have reached their full potential (especially since they made the aesthetics of the Hall of Fame seem truly special). Why spam it with meaningless and generic entries. It's kind of a graduation ritual for my Pokemon. Each entry is a completely different team that I have slaved over and put effort into training. That and the suspicion that older Hall of Fame entries get written over after enough times. |
i didn't seem to have any trouble, i have 10 lv 100 at the moment, battle chateau and le wow restaurant are the best ways, it's 100,000 for the restaurant (90,000 if you're super popular), and you more than make it back by the end of the run, plus there's the lucky egg that helps quite a bit.
|
At least for competitive battling (correct me if I'm wrong), you don't need to exceed lv. 50. So with all the things listed, training is completely doable.
|
I'm not sure what in the world you are smoking here, but I'm having no problems with keeping up my war machine up to speed.
You might want to try raising your Pokémons' affection in the Pokémon Amie. You'll get steadily increasing exp boosts the higher the affection rating is. |
How does one get a lucky egg in x/y? Also, does it boost exp from the exp all??

It's one of the fastest Pokemon games to level up in(i think so at least), LvL 50's before the second gym.
|
The new Exp All's mechanic made this game almost too easy to level up, actually.

Not only this. it is also the easiest game in terms of farming Battle Points (to me)
|
Really? You're one of the very few people I've heard say leveling up is difficult in these games. I've actually found it to be the easiest thanks to the new Exp. Share.
|
I disagree I find it a doddle in Kalos in the Battle Chateau, low level opponents but lots of them and keep appearing all day. the furisode girls and their audinos combined with EXP O power level 3 and the EXP Share are ideal for farming EXP.

I didn't have much trouble with my Y game, but it impossible for me to keep my team up in X. My Azumarill is the only one I don't have trouble with, she's in her 50s while the rest of my team is low 20's. The EXP share has been on since I've gotten it and hasn't helped at all.
I have had a much easier time keeping my levels balanced on the older games than compared to what I'm doing on X. Really it seems to be based on how you play cause in all honesty, the previous games were easier to level on than X and Y for me. Only thing X and Y really have over the older versions is the lumoise level trick which I'm about ready to abuse on my X run. |
If you are leveling multiple pokemon to level hundred, I'd say gen VI is better. The exp-share makes it so you get 3.5 times usual exp, and on top of that you can use lucky egg and O-powers, plus the bonus gained from not evolving your pokemon right away.
For leveling pokemon to 50, gen V might be better since you get extra exp for battling high-level pokemon, so when you are doing late-game content, the pokemon you are levelling with exp-share gains insane amount of experience. |
Personally I think its much easier to level up in this game with Exp. Share. There seems to be more exp per battle
|
I find it much easier leveling up in Kalos rather than Unova! The Exp Share makes it easier than ever but I prefer leveling up Pokemon indivudually (IV/EV training against types & all that) so turned it off.
|
go to victory road and fight hordes of floatzels they give 5000 exp if your pokemon is holding the lucky egg
|
when you have a Normal FS with both Audino and Chansey, leveling turned out to be much easier than ever :)

I'm still in story mode, so I can't say all that much. However, I was in the Lumiose Juice Shoppe the other day, and they had a drink offered that gives a pokemon a free level-up, I think for only $10,000. Not sure how frequently that pops up though. Although so far the Exp. All has allowed me to raise a 6 member team with higher levels in the middle of story mode than the 4 member team I had in BW2 story mode... that's just for story mode though, and wouldn't apply for when one is raising pokemon individually after story mode.
|
I levelled faster in this game than any other past game. Exp. Share just makes the difference.
|
It's the fastest pokemon game to level up your pokemon in my opinion
