What are you talking about? Of course you can get to level 50 before reaching the Elite Four in any game without cheating or the usage of Rare Candies. The thing is though, you'd have to be willing to devote a lot of time doing so...

That and the Elite Four of Hoenn do take longer to get to than the other Elite Four's. That, and you're required to meet (and maybe capture) one legendary beforehand in Hoenn. (only exception is possibly Suicune in Crystal)

because it balances otu the game.

You can't raise a lv 50 pokemon by the time you reach the elite four. Unless you trade or cheat or rare candy.
True.When I was at the Elite Four my Pokemon weren't even Lv.40.
Koga at least has stronger Pokemon.

Actually the Elite Four in FR/LG is the hardest.Their Pokemon are over Lv.65.But this is Metal/Color Genoration Games.
Although Lance's 2 Dragonair from RBY Evolved into Dragonite but are at lower Levels.Not to mention that Dragonite Evolves at Level 55.But if his Pokemon were that strong it would take a while to beat him.

Wow she ether cheated or trained for a really long time. my reasoning for low level elite fours is because there is Kanto you have to go through. But I did have a Pokemon in level 60(Feraligatr) when I approached the E4

Well, my typhlosion reached at level 55 when i reached at the E4 in my Crystal version... I didn't cheated or trained my pokemon very long... If his mom has the G/S version then, she must have used the duplicate cheat to multiply her rare candies...

Do you guys always accuse others cheating if they're at a higher level at an early part of the game? Man, it's always possible the person was just dedicated to training ya know!

But... That's nothing. Before I reached a gym in the Hoenn Region, I always capture a pair of all possible Pokémon at the time, and level them up to a certain level. (1st gym = 15, 2nd gym =20, 3rd gym = 25, etc.)

You guys have any idea how long that takes???

Eventually, I'd have a pair of each Pokémon at level 60 by the time I reach the Elite Four... (this was on Ruby)

It is kind of easy to that when you are in the begining of the game but it gets hard. Because the Pokemon are in higher levels and you might have to use 2 of the same move to knock it out. Then you start to struggle and if you lose all of your HP and items then you are screwed. But thats a good thing because you can get out of the cave and go to a Pokemon center.

I had no probs getting my Typhlosion up to the 60's in Gold. And he was able to take on the E4 first time all by himself with only 2 Full Restores. I didn't really train him though, I just completed all the events and, yeah.

Personaly i find all the Elite 4s easy. I train my Pokémon early in the game. Usualy i will train my starter to level 18 so it has evolved even before i go into viridian forest in FireRed. Then i train Pidgey to Pidgeotto in the forest, and a catch and train a Pikachu. When i come out of the forest, my starter will be at least level 22 lol. I just love to train. Although i must admit i do find the Hoenn League hard. I usualy get stuck on Drake's Salamence. Anywayz i always catch a Dratini in Dragon's Den and train it before i even think about challenging the League. I've had my rant now :)
