Why do people only train one pokemon?

Question

Like why do some people train only one pokemon up a high level while the others are like lv 21, I'v seen people do this and I would own them with my balanced pokemon dream. They would all be on the same level or within 2 levels. I mean if that one pokemon faints, then they're screwed!

Answer 1

I like to train my starter up obsessively until I finish the Elite4, then I usually branch out and train the starter and pokemon side by side until I get them up to lvl50-ish apiece, then pick one to train until the starter is lvl100, and so on and so forth. It isn't balanced at first, but I just guess it is a preference.

Answer 2

because Pokemon is not a strategies game. it is an adventure game and all they have is level and stuff. i rather train a Pokemon that is balance in all type to it's superior level.  

Answer 3

because some people like rushing through the game.   i raise mines all at the same level

Answer 4

unless that one pokemon is lvl 100

Answer 5

i like to train my starters to about lvl. 10 then move on to another one and then when they are all at the same lvl you just do the same thing over again  

Answer 6

when u start the game, u get ur starter which is obviously the pokemon you're gonna stick with throughout the game. i personally take my time but people like to finish the game fast then train so idk why.

Answer 7

People usually only train one pokemon because they either like that pokemon or that they think that one pokemon is easier to train and rush through the game without completing a lot of the game
