I blame the following: OP experience assist, Ability to have 2-3 starters, OP Pokémon given to you [Lucario, Tyrunt, ect], and the fact you can get very good Pokémon in common spots.
well that explains why i had such a hard time with this game than most people
i used 1 starter
no gift pokemon
best pokemon was heracross, everything else was mediocre
Seriously, Dragalge's cool and all, but sKRELP.
