Does anyone ever overpower one pokemon?

    Okay, so everytime i seem to play a pokemon game, i always tend to just stick with one pokemon, which usually can do pretty well . But than i get to times with like the elite four and im pretty screwed. Does anyone else just battle with one pokemon for the majority of the game? i mean i think in my pearl game, except for my charizard, all my pokemon (besides legenderies) were level 40 and below.
     
    Bleh, I can't stand doing that. I have to have diversity on my team. I did try a solo run in LeafGreen a long time ago, but by the time I got to Blaine, I assembled random Pokemon on my team. However, Venusaur ended up around 75 and the others were only on 45.
     
    No, it gets frustrating when you run out of moves and have to struggle your way through. Especially since the best infinite source of gaining your PP is the almighty leppa berry.
     
    Rarely. I usually only catch 4-6 Pokemon through the course of the game and use them all the way through. I catch them spaced out from one another so I have time to train the ones I already have. It usually works pretty well.
     
    Well, I'm working on a solo run on LG. I'm about to do the E4. :P

    Other than that, pretty much only in Diamond, since I got it after Pearl and was like "Repetition fail >_>" so I used Torterra and Dialga the whole rest of the time. Lol
     
    I used to do that when I was little playing gold. Now I never do. I like to train all my pokemon evenly and use them all in battle.
     
    I used to do that. But on my current Crystal run, I try not to have one member even two levels ahead of the others.
     
    I don't. I almost always have a full team of five or six Pokemon.

    My brother, on the other hand, does it constantly. He's always bragging about how the Elite Four are in the 50's and '60's and he's got a Lv83 Infernape :P
     
    Due to my type preferences, my Grass- Starter gets relatively high leveled compared to my other Pokémon because I often have to wait at least a small while before I can catch more Grass types.
     
    I did it in GenI and GenII. I did it in GenI since I thought the wild Pokemon were too low level and in GenII I played it in Jap so I didn't know how to use a Pokeball until I was up to Ilex Forest and the Pokemon there were horribly weak and I didn't know what Pokemon were good at the time.
     
    I always have a team of six, and I rotate them so that they all level totally and completely evenly. If one of them is one level higher than the others, I won't let it battle until all the other ones have caught up to it. o__x Then again, I've got OCD, so that could say something...
     
    I used to do that in Silver with Furret and it worked out for me just fine (probably because of the leveling issue in that game). However, now I tend to train three Pokemon regularly and use the others as HM slaves. I now get super-effective hits 90% of the time I attack.
     
    I always overlevel one Pokemon. I just don't feel like raising multiple Pokemon at one time...>.>
     
    I did it in gen 3. Three Pokemon, a Blaziken, Flygon, and Gardevoir. Used them for the battle frontier too. :D
    All level 60 like that.
     
    i got my venasuar to lv100 before the league but since it was my only Pokemon i still lost to the champion.
     
    Nah, it's too boring and hard for me. I need to make a team every time I play a Pokemon game. One Pokemon as your partner the whole time as you yourself is playing through one, single game seems a bit bland for me.
     
    sometimes I do but mostly I like to keep my pokemons balanced. Except my Starter. It ALWAYS needs to stay at least five levels ahead of all the others.
