I totally understand what you're saying. :)

I think this happens more when you are really enjoying the game and want to take your time. But I must admit, the only games I did this more than a few levels was the original G/S. Sometimes I did it so my pokemon would learn moves a little early; other times I just thought "Wouldn't it be cool to have my Charmander evolve at level 95!?!?" <----I never made it that far.....I always broke down around LV50 or so.

Back then, you also had to be careful about doing this because there was no move relearner. So if you evolved your pokemon at a weird level, you might miss a move. The only way you could fix that was to have Pokemon Stadium 2 and beat the E4 on that. The prize was ONE move relearned. (ususally did this so that the LV 70 Lugia in Gold version could learn Aeroblast!)

I've never done it for a whole team, though (just my starter). It sounds fun! But I imagine you'd have to be a few levels (or many levels) higher than usual, just because of the power difference between evolutions. I bet Lance's Dragonite would be a royal pain.....

The way the game plays, and with the crisp, clean graphics, I don't like making my Pokémon evolve.

I feel that way, too. I almost want to play like I did in Sapphire, where I had a Level 62 Torchic taking on the E4 (Steven was rather vulnerable to fire, if I remember correctly). It got to level 73 before I finally broke down and evolved it... unfortunately, it's still a level 74 Combusken, 'cause it's awfully difficult to get substantial experience for such a high-level fire type...

In SoulSilver, though, I'm taking through a team of my favorites, 'cause I like having them follow me around. Typhlosion, Meganium, Pidgeot, Sandslash, Vaporeon (only 'cause I just don't like Feraligatr... vanity, hurrah.), and Ampharos. Reasonably powerful Pokémon that look good following me around, yay. (I'd rather be followed around by a Cyndaquil than a Typhlosion... but I almost always have someone else following me, anyway.)
Though, I'd feel pretty neat, as a cute little girl with something like Arceus following me and doing whatever I say... but it'd wear off fast. :[

I know what you mean, I love my Quilava and Pichu and I don't think I will ever evolve them. :)
