Same Level-adict

    I feel like I'm the only person who does this...

    I like to keep all my Pokemon the same level.

    So like if my Starter is level 16, the rest of my Pokemon have to be the same level or I freak out and go train them to be Level 16, I think It's a good strategy for the Elite Four.

    PLZ POST IF YOU DO THE SAME!! :X i feel lonely....
     
    Don't feel lonely, I do the same. ^_^ I get irritated when I see a level difference. I'll train as much as I have to so everyone is the same.
     
    A lot of people do this. I usually give my Pokemon a cap when grinding, and train them all until they reach that level.
    There's no shame in it, as it makes sure none of your Pokemon fall behind.
     
    You are definitely not alone, for I do it as well! :3
    I always make sure that everyone on my team is exactly the same level. It's somewhat frustrating when they aren't, and it makes me feel like I'm leaving them out.
    And why call your team a team if they aren't -truly- working together like they are supposed to?

    Besides, it makes it so much easier to beat gym leaders and the Elite Four. You have everyone in your team to fall back on when times are tough. :D
     
    Me too, especially in my Platinum.
    I only make exceptions a few times like if I'm going to level them up after I do so and so or if I'm going to trade them away at some point.
     
    I'm similar, although I do have a three level leniency. If my strongest pokemon is lv.14, the rest have to be between lv.11-14. XD
     
    I do it! For the most part, anyway. Sometimes I've found that my Cherrim tend to slip ahead of the group but I try to keep everyone on par. I feel bad if I'm overusing one Pokémon. D:
     
    tbh, mostly ALL of my Pokemon have very different levels, and I never seem to have a balance of levels. The only time I've even came close to them to having the same level is in my 2nd Pokemon Platinum runthrough.
     
    I do this too, although I usually allow for a difference of about 3-4 levels...after that I start worrying and battle a lot with the lower level pokemon to get them to the same level.
     
    Yup, I do the exact same thing, I could never have say, one Pokemon on Level 39, another 36, and another 31, they all need to be similar if not the same,

    Like on my Crystal, all my Pokémon are Level 36, and I'm training them one level indivitually so you're not alone!
     
    Yeah, I do it too. I've done it in every game from Gold onwards, when I figured out while playing Red and Yellow that raising my Starter lightyears above the rest was not a valid training method when you come up against a Gym Leader or the Elite 4
     
    I used to do that (or at least, my starter would be a level or two ahead because I was biased). I can't stand it now, it looks too robotic. :( HOWEVER. I do not like having Pokemon getting out of a five level range from each other. v_v It really bugs me. Not as much as it used to, but still...I prefer to have them close together, but not exactly the same.
     
    I have this problem. I will never allow one level. If you we to look at most of the challenges I've done you'll see that all the Pokemon are always on the same level. It's not like it's a bad habit or anything.
     
    Take an Elite Four's team for example, their team is an ideal Level set for what I'd like,

    I.e Phoebe from Hoenn,

    Level 48
    Level 49
    Level 49
    Level 50
    Level 51

    Something like that is what I usually have.

    I have this problem. I will never allow one level. If you we to look at most of the challenges I've done you'll see that all the Pokemon are always on the same level. It's not like it's a bad habit or anything.

    Yeah, I was going to use my challenges as an example, if you look at mine, the levels are similar, if not, identical.

    I have that problem sometimes, it's like I MUST have my pokemon at each level. But sometimes that doesn't always fall through since my starter is usually 2-3 levels higher then the rest of my team, which I consider normal, since it's usually the main Pokemon I go into battle with.
     
    I always put the weakest Pokemon in my squad at the front. I like to keep things as even as possible as well. However, I won't go out of my way to grind unless I'm being completely walled (Which almost never happens).
