3rd Gen Honestly

I battle every-one in the gyms, caves I avoid trainers in case I get knocked out. Unless it is Victory Road, where I use my main pokemons and get them leveled up with another low level pokemon has exp.share.
 
I think it's better to try and fight all of the trainers. You can level up your Pokemon faster that way.
 
I try to beat them all until the last 2 gyms, when they start getting more dispersed around water and mountains and I only care about beating the bad guys and finishing the plot XD

I come back for them once I have beaten the league.
 
I battle them all in the Gyms and everyone I can find in caves....Unless I'm in need of a heal...then I avoid them and come back later...(Or if I'm in a hurry...)
 
I battle every trainer I see ingame. The gyms, surfing, etc. Sometimes I miss policemen or joggers because I play a section at night or day, but other than that, exp is good. Also I don't battle right away if I have low health but will go back eventually and get them in the end. :P
 
I just skipped most of the battles, they usally take too long and boring work. :(
 
Yes.

I figure, the best way to train Pokemon- is to battle every trainer I see. Even if I know the trainer has Pokemon that will be hard for me to defeat. Even better, actually.
 
I always battle everyone I see, from the darkest caves to those trainers in the gyms. I don't find that it takes too much effort (especially with Repels), and it's free experience + money in most cases!
 
I usually try to beat all the trainers in the game for the caves and gym, but I never really go to the tower. I'm too lazy. xD

Crissy xX
 
Yes, I do. I want the maximum amount of experience points possible before I challenge the next gym leader.
 
Meh, sometimes. I battle about... 80% of the trainers? Maybe 85%? Usually I'll battle them, but occasionally I want to get on with the plot so just skip them, then sometimes come back later to battle them and sometimes just don't bother. (And so on occasion, after I beat the game, I'll be zooming along with my level 50+ team and suddenly be stopped to battle by some cocky kid that I missed, with three level 12 Pokémon.) I'm more likely to skip trainers when I know the approximate level of the next gym leader's Pokémon and know that my team's several levels above that.

There are a couple of exceptions to this: I always battle every member of Team Whatever and I always battle every trainer in a gym, even if I don't have to.
 
I battle everyone, no matter how many trips to the poke'center it takes. Battling the trainers is the easiest way to get exp.
