Hey, I know how you feel. In fact, my Pokemon are all 40-42 and I'm in the same place you are. :/ They didn't fix the level curve as well as they could have, but part of it has to do with that you can go through Mt. Mortar and get to Mahogany Town before even defeating Morty, so the Lake of Rage Pokemon are the same level as the Route 35 Pokemon. I know, it sucks. D;

It's only more easier because the levels of your Pokemons are over-leveled. However, I understand how you feel. It's always been like this for every Pokemon game. I sometimes wish for stronger wild Pokemons and harder Pokemon Trainers. Things just aren't the way we all want them to be.

I also faced the same situation after defeating Clair. Once I quickly ran through the Victory Road, it ended quickly. The Elite Four destroyed my team with ease. It could be boring at first, but one would sigh with relief when facing Lance as they are able to par with him.

I felt this way through the gyms I've passed so far. D;

Keep getting worried that my Pokemon are gonna surpass their level cap before I get the needed badges, and they'll end up not following my orders for a bit. Hasn't happened yet, but feels like it might eventually. fff

Pics or it didn't happen. Seriously. Sabrina took me down, and I have those level Pokémon on me now. She broke my 9 Gym Leader No-Loss Streak. :<

I think I was about the right level overall, if a little under-leveled when it came to challenging Claire, the Elite Four, some of the Kanto Gym Leaders and Red.

Really, it is hard to overtrain for me after a certain point and the trainers are pathetically weak in Johto.

I've never been able to break the level 40 barrier before Clair, I must just be lazy... or the trainers are too weak. Probably both.

I was pretty similar (except my lowest is Lv 55, highest is 60).

I didn't overlevel at all, as most of the time, my Pokemon were often about 5 Levels under the highest level of the gym leader. I just used lots of potions and revives (and a bit of skill. Not much.)

I don't know what you guys are talking about. By the time I was fighting lance my highest level was level 42, and that was after fighting every possible trainer up until that point, AND my Pokémon were traded in, levelling up even faster. (I trained 6 evenly, Rhyhorn, Riolu, Munchlax, Scyther, Houndour and Horsea, all from level 5). Are you guys just grinding like mad or just raising one or two Pokémon?

Yeah, I noticed this too. In my last save, I grinded my team like crazy. At, I believe, 5 badges I have my team at level 40. I just crushed everything in the game, and ended up at the Elite Four with a team of level 48's. Through Kanto, I decided to train new Pokemon with EXP.Share, and ended up at Red with a team of lv.50's. The game dos become easy if you grind, but otherwise I suppose it can be hard, but I've never played it without grinding my team.

I always found the levelling difficult, but I usually had 6 Pokemon by the time I was at Whitney xD

Even though the Rockets have low leveled Pokemon, it wears you out after a while :P

Thats pretty true. Once you get past Whitney's Stomping,Paralyzing,Attracting Miltank Its pretty easy. The only way to make it more challenging is to pick Chikorita. If you picked Cyndaquil thats neutral. If you picked Totodile you just picked your ticket for a free ride around the game. Because he learns Ice Fang,Crunch,Superpower,and Any Water Move, thus making him the Prime of the 3.

You'll still be level grinding to get up to the 80's for Red-not that you couldn't beat him with lower leveled than that... I find it difficult to train Pokémon in HG/SS, which makes me prefer Platinum in that aspect. There is nothing to train against over level 45 unless you go and spam calling gym leaders, but even then you can only train certain types against whoever's available that day.

... It did happen. I don't have any pics though... I got lucky with some critical hits on Sabrina though. Plus I have a decent Scizor that helped a bit (X-Scissor + Leer + Critical Hit = Ouch). I got lucky with all of my fights in my SS journey... I'm currently trying to get gym leader rematches because there is no way I can beat Red at this point.

I hate the fact that I cannot find a good training spot because all I find is level 39-44 Pokémon which really DO NOT help at all. "Yay... Feraligatr gained 463 EXP... only 9021 more to go... And then I have to do this for 5 other Pokémon to gain one level." That's what I'm usually saying to myself.

My Pokémon were always underleveled throughout my Johto journey and I still easily managed it, but I do think if I'd tried, it wouldn't be very difficult to overlevel my Pokémon, I just didn't need to.

I think the people who end up lower leveled are slightly underestimating exactly how low the levels of thier opponents are, and therefore don't feel the need to train, and then it catches up to them. It did on my first playthrough of SS. Now I got through the game fairly easily. Still have to fight red though.

I did exactly that. :P

I didn't train, beat the 8 gyms, got to the Elite 4, and I realised that I should've trained sooner. :( :P
