4th Gen The Level Problem

[e4darthteej]

Well, in Pokespec, he does have a Mewtwo...sorta. But isn't that really cheap?

You used Rare Candies, so wouldn't that be really easy for you? .__.

I used rare candies to get my team to level 75, which is a lower level than all of his Pokemon.

 

[Johto's Best]

Hmmm...update his AI and Movesets?

 

[Speed]

Your pokemon can counter all of Red's, plus, you used rare candies.

 

[Abnegation]

He doesnt need to be improved.
He is still (with Steven and Barry) The strongest pokemon trainer in any game.
I mean peopke have struggled with him !
Although i think they could increse his levels each time you defeat him until he hits the ninties mark with one or 2 of his pokemon


and you used rare candies.... If you had put work in to make your team powerfull you would have been satisfied

 

[Ineffable~]

Well, after 11 years, Game Freak has some experience now. They've become experts with Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. I think after all this time, you can expect the AI to be better. Also, there are new moves and all that. It's much easier to strategize. No need to change the Pokémon themselves, you can expect Red to be good like Barry.

Merged the topic regarding Red and his team, levels, etc with this one here.

 

[Kumata]

Red doesn't need to be improved... but hot damn it'll be awesome if he is. Like the rival in FR/LG, he could get an updated team...

And I don't remember leveling in G/S/C ever being harder than leveling usually is in a Pokémon game...

 

[Norcinu]

They increased the levels of wild Pokemon in Platinum didn't they? I don't have the game so I'm not sure but if they did then we can be sure the level problems from G/S/C will be fixed.

 

[The Hero Without a Name]

No, because Battleground is the most overrated, boring and useless piece of crap ever. The levels of your pokemon MUST equal the same as their's which is stupid, whats the bloody fun if everyone is all level 50, 60, 70, etc.? Its stupid, and what this guy is saying is not similar to battleground.

Somebody can't tell the difference between Battleground and Battle Frontier...

 

[kabigon]

They should just make it o that the opponents pokemon are alays at the same level as your highest level pokemon

 

[2A4Rulez]

It was like that because there were 2 regions.

 

[shawn_smith]

i have noticed it to. They should fix it.

 

[.inLOVE]

It really needs to be fixed. I was trying to get the last badge while facing off against level 23 wild Pokemon, which was not an easy task.

 

[rootbeer]

Pokemon can grow levels????
jk

all they need to do is make the elite four a little stronger along with the Kanto Leaders

 

[viemortevolroc]

lol i hope the pokemon get up to at least in the 30s but other wise i think the whole level problem is there to stay,that way nintendo makes the game a lil harder,but i think they should move Larvitar outta silver cave and somewhere earilier and away from lv40 pokemon

 

[ShyRayq]

i agree. Red was crap! Lance was a cheat with a lv50 Dragonite while the Kanto gym leaders disappointed me. C'mon you're the Johto champion and Janine has Lv30s
My god!

 

[.little monster]

In my opinion, I liked that they were under level because it made the game more of a challenge for us.

Well, this depends on who might have difficulty with lower levels and who may not. For some, those who tried to train more than one Pokémon at a time might have found it harder because it would take too long. Those who stuck with probably their starter alone throughout the entire game might have found it easier as it was only one Pokémon to train and sweep through the entire game.

However, to keep up with more of the modern time games and watching the comparison between the old and new, things seemed to have been a bit easier back then, than they are now. For example, if you look at Platinum, a lot more have found it harder than Diamond and Pearl because levels were brought up higher. Not to forget, people are training more than one Pokémon for their team and may be a bit lazy to do training now a days. So, again it really all depends, but to me I see them raising the levels [if not before] then after the main plot to keep up with Platinum's higher level standards.

 

[MegaKuriboh]

I HATED THE LEVELS! I mean really a level 9 PIDGEOTTO??Did Falkner use AR?? and Bugby had a Metapod and Kakuna good enough to evolve but NO he did'nt. Lance LV 50???? I know nintendo wants the levels low for Kanto but Why?!?! The highest GL In Kanto had Lv 50s (I Think) but the first like 4 should instead and the next 3 in the 60s and Blue in the 70s and 80s so red can have lv 90 - 100 Pkmn.Honestly I don't care if they changed it but if they did it'd be great

 

[Pekachoo]

The elite four was disappointing.
Did anyone else notice agatha was missing?
OMIGAWSH SHE DED?
