NPCs too underleveled

[Fridolinxs]

I cant understand why Trainer need to be this low in lvl? I just got in the area behind Norman(5. Badge hoenn) i trained until i got lvl 46 and the first trainer i meet after surfing got a lvl 29 smth.

Why i need to oneshot every trainer? this is plain boring. if you need to reduce xp to increase sells for xp boosts i can understand this but trainers would improve this? you would grind to just go on in story; with wild pokemon. I think this is a highly bad decision; or are is there some other reason i cant see?

For a player who is new to pokemon or just doesnt understand the leveling mechanics (evolves early, has a full team of mons starting early on) its actually a pain that they are higher level than in the base games. Its really hard to make something that challenges more knowledgeable people yet isn't too difficult for new players.
