I used to try and battle as little as possible when I was first starting to play Pokémon. Then I learned being overlevelled is fun.

Unless I'm trying to get through it as fast as possible, I always fight every trainer. It's free experience so I don't see why anyone wouldn't fight most if not all the trainers in the region.

No, there would have to be a good reason for me to avoid a battle. Case in point I'm in the middle of ev training in the area and fighting this trainer would yield evs for the wrong stat. Or perhaps there's a glitch you can perform involving said trainer so you want to keep him available for later on.

In normal game play though you want to gain experience through trainer battles so that your Pokemon can level up. You also have to keep income flowing in, tms, pokeballs, daycare services, vitamins, breeding and healing items all cost money :)

Battling trainers gains EXP and I never usually want to give up on that opportunity.

I never avoid trainer battles and if I do for some reason, I always go back to the trainer ASAP to gain some exp.

I always try to battle plenty of trainers, because you probably need to be higher level so you can take the gym easily and it provide income so you can always stack up needed items before heading out. IF one avoid battle is a horrible mistake and put your team behind by miles

Never! I always enjoy to look for trainers everywhere and beat everyone I come across. I don't want that precious exp go to waste.

I tend to avoid them sometimes, mostly because my Pokémon would be low on HP with a lack of inventory
and I want to get already into the next town/city because I do not feel like going back to the previous town to heal up.
At other times I'm just like 'Nah, not now' and I just skip them for later.

There is only one trainer battle I've ever avoided in the whole history of the series, and that is the double battle against the two Furfrou trainers on Route 6 in Kalos. Now, I normally only avoid it until I clear out the rest of the route, but even then it's still a tough one.

I usually do every single trainer battle, but sometimes when doing replay, I get bored/frustrated so I will avoid every single battle I can. Then I get mad at myself because I'm a completitionist and I don't want to go back so I delete my save :|

I used to frequently avoid trainer battles, but nowadays I will battle every trainer I see. The exp points and money gained from defeating trainers is always very helpful to obtain.

I've never seen the need to avoid battles, they're a good way to level up your Pokemon and get money. It's the only reason I'm rich in my Y game. Love the Battle Chateau!
