when i played gold way back when. i play thru with out Evolving my team. i had the team Ash had in the show and it was hard has heck! cynidquil, totodial, bayleef, noctowl, pikachu, and a heracross. i don't know how i beat the E4 like that twice! my pokes did have flamethrower, and hydro pump and all those moves at low levels so that helped but it was still hard!

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.....
