Wow I'm 13 hours into the game and only have one gym badge. I've been doing a lot of side stuff and exploring every inch of the route. Better get that second gym badge cos my Pokemon are nearly L30. Lol
Ouch! I have about the same hours in. I just beat the 2nd gym 12 hours ago before going to sleep. Each pokemon in my current team is very close to level 30. I choose the frog, and bulbasaur. This way I have one of each type of starter. I didn't know the 3 unova chimps and pikachu were going to be so early in the game however, else I would of took charmander. I caught the chimps very quickly. But having lvl 14s means I knocked out a few pikachu before I finally caught one. He was a pain in the ass to run into. Rarely showed up at all. Did a few wonder trades and got an Abra. Only Abra and a Dunsparce were the only ones I didn't have already. So I kept trading away the ones I got in a wonder trade til I got the Abra. Dunsparce I traded away. Don't care for that pokemon.
