I am most certainly going to scale things up as you go along. While I'll always have low-level Pokémon in basically all areas, and perhaps the occasional higher-level Pokémon on the earlier areas too, the level average per route will increase. And, heh. With your Pokémon injured like that, I wouldn't recommend going into Wet Caverns, no. But, I placed these guys here for a reason! Haha.

Nicely posted. Now lesse.

Oooh so... it seems like Erika is going to make it through the Wet Caverns after all. ;)

Such nice lads. I was prepared to double back (though with a potential Growlith on Route 1 it would have have its merits). But I like this much better as I'll get to explore a bit where nobody has gone yet (namely Route 5)... After a bit of grinding to get Poliwag up. :/
