Well i dont know why but ever since the original game i always over train my starter before the first battle with your rival. I almost always have them evolve before heading back to the lab.

Right now my totodile<3 is lv10 and i may have it evolve before moving on once again like in the original.

So does anyone else ever do this? i like the satisfaction of completley crushing my rival that first time haha

Only Pokémon with a different OT and/or secret ID to you won't obey, so it should be obeying you if you didn't trade it.

I usually train to level 6 or 7 but I've never gone past 8. It makes catching pokémon after the rival battle harder if you train too much.

Nope.I just take things as I go.

I overlevel for the next meetings (particularly on Emerald, where I always get raped by Treecko/Grovyle if I'm not 10 levels above, as my first pokemon able to learn a flying move is always Flygon)
