Pokemon X,Y has more ways to level up faster

Really? I find that grinding in Heartgold is tough. I always felt like they didn;t give enough EXP, at least in Mt. Silver.

Dude me too. I couldn't finish SoulSilver because of how bad leveling up felt. It took ages early on in the game because the EXP depended on the Pokemon instead of their level.

So glad B/W changed that and made the level of the mon matter, instead of the species.

I meant in the post game team building.  During the main story, I didn't ever have too much trouble with leveling up as long as I used about four Pokemon (which I did) but when trying to make my "ideal team" (not competitive, just a team I wanted) I found that Mt. Silver was really difficult to level up my higher level guys in.

White 2 was really bad to grind during the story.  Unless you had two or three Pokemon picked out that you wanted to use, leveling up was abysmal.  Wild Pokemon were so low level that you'd never get more than like nine hundred EXP until Victory Road.  This was really really bad. One of the weaknesses of the game IMO.

During the story? Of course I did. I just never got lucky enough to find her most times :(

[QUOTE="FlamesOfGrey"] Did you not just seek out Audino patches of grass in B/W 2? She will give hundred to thousands of points per battle depending on her level and she's pretty common.FlamesOfGrey

Lucky you :P

Oh well, in dragon Quest IX I got a treasure map that has a floor with nothing but Metal King Slimes :D  That made up for the lack of Audinos in White 2 for me.

regardless, they had trainers on multiple route that you could battle infinitely for the sole purpose of grinding.

Why are you worried about EVs for the main storyline? lol

After the story, you just grind in the White Forest/Black Tower which gives loads of exp and can level up a pokemon to level 50 in 20-30 minutes.

Honestly I have no issue with that. But I'm waiting for the "hardcore" players to come in here and start whining.

oct cant come fast enough
