Glad im not the only one seing the exp problem, its making the game frustrating.
So i cheked my gba games pkmn lf and pkmn saphire, in both im on hall of fame with pokes in lvl 53 - 59.
here in lvl 50 and i couldnt beat sabrina xD had to try a lot and with revives and potions, some times dmg from npc pokes are unbalanced, like literally an lvl 21 patrat fainted my lvl 41 steelix with two normal moves... mobs hit hard, im not saying that i want an easy game.. i just want some balance.
Same for grinding zones, im calculating sabrina has like lvl 55 pokes it seems, so the only good grinding zone is seafoam with lvl 33 pokemon (for spatk, spd, and spdef evs) the atk ones i think is near fuchsia city with lvl 30. Again is not impossible but its so anoying and frustrating.
so what happens if u loose a lot vs a gym leader? u wont get any exp, that means that u will fall behind a lot, or at least will be a frustrating time for u, cuz grindig zones have low rewards but high risk (a lvl 31 poke can faint with a super efective move or 2 a lvl 50 one).
just my opinion dont want to be mean but the game is so good, it only needs a little balance (some low lvl pokes hit too hard, and that isnt normal and the exp problem aswell) feel free to correct me :3
