Have you ever considered why is Red the only character whose pokemon
can even level up during battle? I mean, when you fight a trainer, his
pokemon remain at the same level even if they defeat a bunch of your
own pokemon. Even if you send out a Lv100 pokemon with 1 HP left
and it gets defeated by an opposing Lv10 pokemon, the opponent's
pokemon will not level up!
Well, i theorize that leveling up your pokemon is not as easy for the
other trainers as it is for Red. Think of it. If anyone could just go out
into the wild and have some easy random fights that would serve to
his pokemon extra power on a silver plate, why was Red the only one
who started with a Lv5 pokemon and worked his way to beating the
elite four?
That makes it obvious to me that, for a pokemon to increase its power,
a rigorous training program consisting of skill/conditioning exercises
is required, just like with real life athletes. Also, just like with real life
athletes, this is a proccess that takes a really long time.
The reason Red can make his pokemon super powerful by just kicking
some weak wild pokemon's ass is that he has developped a spiritual
connection with them that creates some sort of mage or at least some
supernatural effect. This gives a whole new meaning to the seemingly
generic statement Oak makes after you win the pokemon league
('The bond you share with your pokemon is marvellous').
Now, one might ask 'What about Blue? He doesn't share that kind of
bond with his pokemon, yet, by the time of Indigo Plateau battle, he
has managed to level up his team even more than Red'. Well, Blue
was implied to have pushed his pokemon too much (Oak: 'You have
forgotten to treat your pokemon with love and trust'). He was eager
to become the champion, wanted fast results and enforced a cruel
training regimen to his pokemon. Maybe he even gave them steroids!
