Do you train one pokémon very high ingame, or your whole team?

[Mijzelffan]

Basically the question is: When you start your game and train/battle your way to the league, do you train only one pokémon (Like your starter, even if you train one or two other pokémon too but one of them obviously higher, this counts. Or do you train your whole team around the same level? (barring possible Hm slaves if you don't train them)

I personally train my starter the highest and I beat the league with it. That pokémon is almost the only pokémon I train exceptions are mostly the regions rodent, but I train it not far as high as my starter.

Some people however train their entire team at the same level, and those are coincidently the people who complain the most about Cynthia being hard (I think she's easy [no not in that manner]).

So now answer the question and maybe post why you train like that.

I used to only train my starter, but lately I keep them balanced.

 

[Max King]

I keep it perfectly balanced.
I raise each one a level at a time, then put it to the back of the roster, raise the next one etc. Always in the order in which i got them, if one gets higher by say 2 or 3 levels, it gets put to the back until the others are that same level.

. w .~ I do the same thing.

I keep mine balanced. I also try to train a mix of types, so if I do battle someone who is a higher level than me, at least I have the type advantage. Platinum was the first time I tried to keep my team at the same level, as I was young and impatient durring the other games. :sweatlol:

Also, All of my pokemon were around the same level as Cynthia and I did not think she was very hard. I ended up beating her on my first run through the elite four.

I had a level one hundred crobat by the elite four. everything else was level 20

 

[Max King]

The idea is to train all your pokemon equally. I make sure its very equal.
No offence DCM, but a) why a crobat? b) then all of your other pokes dont get trained which isnt fair on them.

 

[Darkfox190]

I used to just level my starter and plow through everything by pure level. Now, I level a few things, generally only 3-4, and then when I hit the Elite Four, I plot out a team and level them just to beat the Elite Four. Something to take advantage of type weaknesses, etc.

I used to just train my starter, which makes the game pretty easy in my opinion. Level 95 Charizard can run train through the E4 even against types that should defeat it, provided you have enough Potions / Revives.

Now that I'm a bit smarter, my starter is usually 3 - 5 levels higher than my other Pokes. I'll usually have a second and third Poke who are next in line, usually the region's starting bird and someone else. The last two fighting spots are 2 - 3 levels behind that. Last is Bibarel, HM slave.

 

[empoleon dynamite]

I usually always have a perfectly balanced team, besides my Starter which is usually about 5 levels higher for some reason :S

 

[Blazaking]

When i first played Ruby, I only trained my Blaziken to around 60. When I hit the elite four I was in big trouble, so yeah.

Ever since then I've always kept a fairly balanced team. but in Platinum my Vaporeon is usually 2 or 3 levels ahead (Because of Flint and Bertha) and my Metagross about 4 or 5 levels behind.

 

[Rotten]

I just train my starter to a very high level, usually by the Elite 4 he's around 85 and can wipe all of them out. Then I bring 2 or so other pokes just in case I need to revive him.

I know you should train your whole team evenly, but I've always done it this way. Lol.

After the Elite 4 I start adding new Pokemon to my team and training them, though.

 

[Sleet]

When I was little I raised my starter to a ridiculous level and that was it. Now, I keep my team as level as possible. I avoid letting any of my Pokémon be more than one level above the rest. When I'm familiar with a region, such as when I played FireRed and Platinum, I'll even plan out my team from the very start and work from there.

The poll should say "well," not "good."

 

[Kiratwig]

I used to only train one Pokemon until it was super powerful, but now I find it fun to raise more then one. Its also more of a challenge now. The biggest pokemon I ever raised by itself was my lv 100 Nidoking, all my other pokemon were in the 30's when I went to the pokemon league. Suprisingly I beat the game, but it was Yellow Version.

 

[Pikapurple]

I try to train evenly. It's hard sometimes though, especially for traded pokemon.

 

[DeleteMyAccount]

I used do only do one or two Pokemon, usually my starter and whatever bird Pokemon you get near the beginning, like Pidgey/Tailow/Starly. Now I try to train my whole team.

 

[Rоulette Goddess]

The whole team.

I train on every route for about 30 minutes, so, by the end of the quest, my Pokémon are pretty much the strongest creatures in the game.

Me 2!

 

[pikachu200]

I train all 6 pokemon up five levels before I go to the next gym
