Level grinding, usually with a level reference in mind (i.e., I want to get to 25 befopre facing the next Gym Leader.) I use the Vs. Seeker when it's available; otherwise it's just battling wild Pokemon over and over. I also use the Exp. Share when trying to get newly caught Pokemon up to speed with the rest of the team.

Usually simply battling random Pokemon and trainers. I usually set a level goal I want all my Pokemon to be at before taking on a gym or E4. If I catch a new Pokemon, and all the others are already at my goal, I just let it hold the exp share and let it catch up on its own xD

I battle everything I see, anytime a while Pokemon pops up, its going down. I also rotate my team, each time a Pokemon gains a level, I switch to the next Pokemon, its how I try and keep my team balanced. If one member gets stronger due to a type advance in a gym, then it sits on the side lines on the next route until I can get the rest of the team caught up. The only disadvantage to this is that I am usually slightly lower level than gym leaders, to compensate for this, I usually keep my team small until I get to VR. In which case I am usually over levled because I only have two or three Pokemon I am training.

Lots of training. When I get my starter, I go into the nearest patch of grass and just make circles 'til he/she evolves. Among the training, when I come across a flying Pokémon (let's be honest, they're almost always in the beginning), I'll catch it. Flying Pokés are extremely vital to me every time, so as soon as I'm finished with my starter, I'll get that one at least to 15, maybe higher. Then I go on my way and never skip a fight. I don't sneak about to avoid trainers, and I don't run from wild Pokémon unless I'm about to faint. By the time I get all the way through to the Elite Four, my Pokémon DOMINATE. :)

I just grind in the grass 'til my Pokémon are where I want them in level. Training near a Pokémon Centre helps, too. i never avoid trainers or wild Pokémon, either, and I abuse Exp. Share, haha. The end result is usually blowing through whatever gym I'm up against or slaughtering the Elite Four. ^^

Well i'm EV training my pokemon first untill they've reached max. And then I start to pick my strongest pokemon to have the highest lvl by 1. So if my pokemon is lvl 55 then the rest is lvl 54. And after that i'm just training and training.

I mainly train my starter and 2 other Pokemon instead of training 4 or more. That way they become higher leveled.

And I put an extra emphasis on EVs. I try to avoid giving my Pokemon EVs to the wrong stats, I avoid it like the plague. I try to buy as many vitamins as I can and as early as possible, to give them to my Pokemon and raise the EVs upto 100. Then I battle to raise the rest.

As for caring, I always end up being a very loving and caring trainer (lol). Actually, I save pretty often and I almost never let my Pokemon faint, plus I give them vitamins. So their happiness gets maxed pretty soon.

I just battle against Elite Four members/champion over and over again. Sometimes it gets really boring but it's great way to earn EXP and money. And if I want to train my weaker Pokémon, I just give Exp. Share on it and train it until I'm satisfied. There are many other ways also but I prefer battling against Elite Four.

I'm like the Minun and Plusle of the Pokemon world. I'm constantly cheering my Pokemon on when I battle, and I get upset if they faint. :c
I usually grind hardcore before moving on to another route, unless the route has the same exact level of Pokemon as the one previous to it.

I don't really grind, I save in front of "big bosses" and fight them with a few levels below.

In B/W I finished with my team being in the low 50s,
(The extra areas you have access to after surf help a lot)
(Don't use repels)

There are several strategies I used to train my Pokémon, depending on heir level and what I plan to use them for.

For example: If I were training them just to get them to evolve, I tend to give them the EXP Share AND place them first in line. Then when I get into a fight, I swap out to a stronger one and finish the fight. The resulting XP is then split 3/4 the one with EXP Share and 1/4 my stronger one. This leads to fast XP for fast evolutions.

If I were training to beat a particular challenge (Elite Four, Gym, Rival), I just go into the closest Grass Patch and just fight whatever I come across till I hit the level goal I set for myself.

Once the game is over, I then want to start on my competitive team, so I start to EV train and bread to get the Pokémon I want to use, and have them ready.
