3rd Gen Raising a powerhouse vs Raising a team.

what about going in the middle? instead of raising just one uber pokemon, or 6 weakish pokemon, why not do 3 semi powerful pokemon? then you can get the higher levels along with the advantage of having different types.

but if I had to choose, i'd use blazekin and have some HM slaves
 
Even though it would be better to raise to WHOLE team and make it UBER powerful,
it would take time,
But having the whole team pretty strong, would be better and would happen sooner.
But, IMO, Emerald version is REALLY easy.
 
Raising a team is always better. It allows you to be more well rounded. With a single pokemon, you can at most cover 4 types. A powerhouse could be taken down by a well trained team in my opinion. (I've only raised one powerhouse, and it was before I ever really thought about planning teams and movesets.) I try and raise my teams fairly steadily. Get them all to 35, them get them all to 40, etc. Also, it's great to have a team because potentially, you can cover every type :)
But that's just my opinion on it.
 
Really, traning a powerhouse isn't a good way to train Pokemon. I remember trying someone's Pokemon Emerald. They had a lvl 60 Swampert and the rest of their Pokemon were lvl 12 or lower. What happens if the meet, say a Septile lvl 60?
Unless Swampert knows Ice Beam, they don't have much of a chance to win.
I mosty overtrain my Pokemon. Once I get to Victory Road, my Pokemon are level 70, and I have 5 Pokemon.
