I feel like I'm the only person who does this...

I like to keep all my Pokemon the same level.

So like if my Starter is level 16, the rest of my Pokemon have to be the same level or I freak out and go train them to be Level 16, I think It's a good strategy for the Elite Four.

PLZ POST IF YOU DO THE SAME!! :X i feel lonely....


GO for it.

You are definitely not alone, for I do it as well! :3
I always make sure that everyone on my team is exactly the same level. It's somewhat frustrating when they aren't, and it makes me feel like I'm leaving them out.
And why call your team a team if they aren't -truly- working together like they are supposed to?

Besides, it makes it so much easier to beat gym leaders and the Elite Four. You have everyone in your team to fall back on when times are tough. :D

Me too, especially in my Platinum.
I only make exceptions a few times like if I'm going to level them up after I do so and so or if I'm going to trade them away at some point.

I do it! For the most part, anyway. Sometimes I've found that my Cherrim tend to slip ahead of the group but I try to keep everyone on par. I feel bad if I'm overusing one Pokémon. D:

I do this as well for my team, no worries. In fact I get slightly irritated when I see my siblings' teams. They've always got like... a 10-level difference and it bothers me.

Yup, I do the exact same thing, I could never have say, one Pokemon on Level 39, another 36, and another 31, they all need to be similar if not the same,

Like on my Crystal, all my Pokémon are Level 36, and I'm training them one level indivitually so you're not alone!

Yeah, I do it too. I've done it in every game from Gold onwards, when I figured out while playing Red and Yellow that raising my Starter lightyears above the rest was not a valid training method when you come up against a Gym Leader or the Elite 4

I used to do that (or at least, my starter would be a level or two ahead because I was biased). I can't stand it now, it looks too robotic. :( HOWEVER. I do not like having Pokemon getting out of a five level range from each other. v_v It really bugs me. Not as much as it used to, but still...I prefer to have them close together, but not exactly the same.

I have this problem. I will never allow one level. If you we to look at most of the challenges I've done you'll see that all the Pokemon are always on the same level. It's not like it's a bad habit or anything.

Take an Elite Four's team for example, their team is an ideal Level set for what I'd like,

I.e Phoebe from Hoenn,

Level 48
Level 49
Level 49
Level 50
Level 51

Something like that is what I usually have.

Yeah, I was going to use my challenges as an example, if you look at mine, the levels are similar, if not, identical.

I have that problem sometimes, it's like I MUST have my pokemon at each level. But sometimes that doesn't always fall through since my starter is usually 2-3 levels higher then the rest of my team, which I consider normal, since it's usually the main Pokemon I go into battle with.

I always put the weakest Pokemon in my squad at the front. I like to keep things as even as possible as well. However, I won't go out of my way to grind unless I'm being completely walled (Which almost never happens).

I try to do this as best I can, but lately I've been slipping. Been playing through my second copy of Platinum and had been using a Budew as my Grass type....let it slip ahead of the rest of the team just to get it to evolve (I hate happiness-based evolution), and I had to stop using it to let the others catch up. Still not done yet.

When I first started planning out my teams for games beforehand, I would go out of my way to ensure that they were in order in my party from least to greatest Exp. Points in the Exp. bar. They would also always be the same levels. This doesn't apply to me much anymore, but it still kind of bothers me.

It tosses its enemies around with agility. It uses all its limbs to fight in its own unique style.

I always do that! I get all compulsive if one is higher than any of the others on my team. They always, always, always have to be the same level. I refuse to go on unless they are all the same level.
