#zettel #gaming sourced from: [[Pokemon Heart Gold]] # The Level Curve in Heart Gold is Bad The level curve is still pretty awful, much worse than other Pokemon games like [[Pokemon White 2]] which still rests in my head since I played it more recently, or [[Pokemon Emerald]] which I always remember being very fair with its level curve. In contrast, I am still finding level 5-6 Pokemon in the Ilex Forest. That's a problem. The fact that I'm about to fight the 6th gym and I consider Pokemon Level 25 higher level is a real bad sign, especially when the grind is not pleasant. This isn't really made better when you go to Kanto either, and when the Wild Pokemon in Mt. Silver are at most level 55, this isn't a good sign. Compare this to [[Pokemon Scarlet]], where [[Level Scaling in Pokemon Scarlet Allows Me To Experiment with Party Members, which is fun]] and [[Grinding in Pokemon Scarlet is Honestly Not So Bad]]
