Ha! Found my old Crystal game!

[Cassidy Peterson]

Apparently I was brute forcing my way through with my Starter. My final two pokes are still in their 30s.

My team is
Team Loquita
Typhlosion F "Hoshiko" 54
Azumarill F "Mary" 42
Eevee M "Vendetta" 33
Togetic M "Toga" 49
Dragonair F "Dragonette" 35
Gyarados M "Gyashaa" 49

And my rival is Mr.Lady xd

I've been playing, trying to accomplish things I couldn't back in the day, and have come to realize that I prefer some of the old school battle animations over the current ones. Certain effects have been dropped from the series, and I miss them.

@ Mr Lady: rofl
I remember brute forcing my way through games with Starters.
Like In Ruby, being at the 5th gym, and having a level 7 Poochyena, but a level 50 Blaziken.

I had one game once where I brute forced my way through with a Blastoise, and the rest of my team were all lowbies who could learn HMs early on.  

[Mr Popo in your mouth]

Yeh...
Thats usualy what I do too...
Grind one poke until its lv 70+ while the rest of your team are hm slave pidgeys and mankeys, then take on the elite four using a few revives (usualy no more then 4)

I remember my Lv 100 Blastoise in Red;
Could kick the crap out of (almost) anything.

Problem?
My only other high-leveled Pokémon was Mewtwo...

I have that saving problem with my gold game and my pokemon crystal game doesn't work anymore.
