Pokemon single player is a broken game of rock, paper scissors where you're allowed to set up or change you hand and do at least 1.5*2.0 damage. Go for speed and power.

Nature straight up doesn't matter in the story. You can buy another flash. The underground pokemon scale off badges and are generally higher level than you till end game

Make a second account on your system, boom, done.

Though you will be limited to local trading with that save, unless you have family Online.

I concur. You've listed two reasons already that could justify a restart:

Proof? If you're overleveling on purpose maybe but they jump like 10 to 15 levels every badge

Ok they only go up like 5 levels per badge but you gotta be doing some serious grinding to outpace that

I can probably get pictures of the Pokmon. But I dont know if thatll prove anything. And I havent been overleveled. Even when Torterra and Empoleon started getting to high, Id drop them off in a box while keeping Pokmon close to evolving with me The only thing I can think of is the EXP share always being on. And the fact that you still get experience when catching Pokmon. Which I did to trade with my co-worker and brother, who both have diamond, while I have pearl. I just always battled everyone. And the levels went up. I also havent changed my team much, which could also be part of it. Though I might change soon. I wasnt even using the VS seeker at first. And even when I use it now, it for weaker Pokmon just to evolved them. Its been that way since early on. I knew they were getting stronger. But they never really caught up to me. I still had to practice caution around them when trying to catch them instead of making them faint

No grinding. Just battling the people in the routes and gym. I even run from wild Pokmon 5 Levels is literally nothing is this game. Especially with EXP share Plus according to me co-worker, I was basically speeding through the badges when I was playing at work If anything, my lack of switching Pokmon out a lot mixed with the EXP share is probably why they are as strong as they are. The EXP share probably makes over-leveling Pokmon easy without even trying. Because like I said, I use my main Pokmon for all the regular battle, gym leaders, and galactic fights.

But when I used the vs seeker, it was for weaker Pokmon looking to evolve

If you were using the vs seeker you were over grinding...

Like I said above (the very last sentence), when I used the vs seeker, it was with weaker Pokmon, as in Pokmon not on my main team. I would get weaker Pokmon out, and use the weaker ones to battle. So no. I was not over grinding

Then you arent reading. Look at my posts. When I used to be seeker, my main team was in the box. So, for example, I can over grind my Inferape if Inferape is in the box. The only Pokmon than get experience are Pokmon on your team. If you dont understand that, you either don understand the game, are joking, or are trolling. My main team currently is Inferape, Torterra, Empoleon, Staraptot, Luxray, and Alakazam. When I used the bathroom seeker, all of them were in the box. The ones I had out were Munchlax, and a bunch of underleveled Pokmon that I was evolving, which meant none of the main team that I use. So, again, no. I was not over grinding my main team. I wasnt even grinding my main team

If you were higher level than the underground pokemon throughout the game like you said then yes you grinded too much. It doesn't matter and you get up in arms about weird shit. Just because you were overleveled doesn't mean everyone else was. There are loads of topics on the game board about grinding there because the pokemon are higher level. You have this weird god complex where you think everyone has the same experience as you.

Except I cant grind Pokmon not on my team. Like I said, even when two members of my main team started getting stronger, I took them off the team for a little so they wouldnt get over leveled. And I never fought a trainer more than once with my main team. When I used the bathroom seeker, my main team was in the box. So I never grinded my main team. I just used them like normal. I even ran from wild Pokmon unless I wanted to catch them So, how was I grinding to much when I wasnt even grinding with my main team in the first place? I was just playing the game normally Not to mention that even when I used the bathroom seeker, it wasnt until Veilstone. And even before veilstone, my Pokmon were stronger. Thats why I dont understand how you think I was grinding And where did I say everybody had the same experience. All I said earlier was, Really? Because mine have been under my level the entire game And my posts after that have been me explaining to you that I was grinding or over leveling. I never even implied that everyone had the same experience I will say that every other person I have played e game with around the same parts have been the same level as me, though. So, thats also why its hard to think Im over leveled

So everyone didn't have the same experience but everyone you talked to had the same experience got it

Yeah. Basically. I havent seen everyones experience. Just mine, my brothers, my co-workers (who I play the game with), and a couple of other friends from when I went home And we all had the same experience. But I havent seen everyones experience, nor did I imply they should all be like mine. Even in this topic, I could see TC had a different experience

I'm not struggling with anything, im just in two minds about restarting cause the game is not as fun with a sus Prinplup leading my team. And I just don't like the idea that I'm leaving shit behind whilst I'm exploring.

If there's flash later on in the game i might be able to come back to the cave later but my starter is still trash lol
