Do you battle all Pokémon trainers?

[Sheep]

When my brother played, he used to try to walk around some trainers because he didn't want to battle them all. I usually try to battle everyone I can for experience and completion reasons personally. What about you guys?

 

[hotsushi-kun]

I always battle these trainers so i can make my Pokemon more stronger in order to gain experience points.

 

[Janp]

It depends on level of my Pokémon. If I'm overleveled, I avoid as many battles as possible and then return to them when I'm leveling new Pokémon. If my level is the same as other trainers I usually battle them all.

 

[Palamon]

Yeah, I usually try to battle every trainer in most Pokemon games, except Sun/Moon some trainers just have crazy lines of sight that I'd rather avoid.

 

[Fairy]

I didn't realize there were some people who actively avoided trainers. :o I'll sometimes dodge them with the intention of going back to level different teams like Janp said, but it's such a core function of the game. To me that's like saying "I love Super Mario Bros. but I hate jumping".

 

[colours]

yes because I want to be as overleveled and powerful as possible and I need the valuable EXP from battling trainers to achieve that goal.

 

[Zeostar]

I fight all trainers. I do not like reaching the end underleveled. I strongly dislike grinding in Pokemon games, especially in older generations where it's essentially grinding 6 party members at separate times.

 

[Sydian]

yes i am an exp whore so i will fight everyone. multiple times if i can tbh. i love to grind and be way overleveled honestly.

 

[Yue Han]

Yes I make sure to fight everyone, I like being over-levelled!

 

[MargatroidCA]

Oh yeah for sure, especially in the more recent games where I've been switching around my team a lot, so I need all the exp I can get!

 

[XDarkseidX]

Every single Pokemon trainer. When I was younger I avoided trainers and wondered why I couldn't beat the elite four. Then I got older, battled everyone and was able to whoop that ass.

 

[ShyRayq]

Yeah, I battle every single regular trainer. Unless you're under some sort of time limit or doing some challenge, I don't see the benefit of avoiding trainers.

 

[Percy]

exp-hogging boy is here. I've never avoided any trainer since, well... the money and the exp. I need 'em

 

[Raicheot]

I tend to battle all trainers and wild pokemon I come across get the levels up

 

[Firox]

at times, depends how I'm feeling or if my Pokemon are too high level
on my first runs I will (like having a good time reading what programmers gave them to say)
