      yes, but of course that means anyone who was born on Cinnabar island are permanently stuck there because you're not allowed to use surf since Blaine's badge doesn't allow the use of it, so although everyone would beat him fairly easily with water pokemon given the location, their journey ends there, and of course when the volcano exploded... they couldn't leave the island oh god!

    Scarlet and Violet explained this in the post game story when you rematch gym leaders, they explain that by regulation they are required to hold back depending on the local area and the kind of trainers that they expect to find so they cannot go all out. Even if they're among the last few gym leaders they still have to follow regulations and restrain themselves to a degree.

    I find it kinda wholesome seeing Elite 4 members with starters, like their very first Pokémon from the very beginning who carried them to the very top and they still have this strong bond and friendship with them enough to keep them around. Maybe I’m overthinking it, but that’s the narrative I tend to paint about it.

    This reminds me of one of the best romhacks that existed: Crystal Clear. Since the game was an open ended pokemon crystal, each gym was given 16 teams. The teams were of course full of their types' top mons, but also some that just made sense on their final team. For example Morty would have a Ho-oh, Jasmine has Amphy, Chuck has a Shuckle named Chuckle because comedy
    The dude Shockslayer who made the hack clearly put a ton of care into balancing the gyms' teams, and even adds a re-challenge mechanic so you can fight through the gyms again at any badge level

      The way I understood that bit of dialogue was that the regulations restrict them based on their general location rather than however skilled the opponent may be. Katy and Brassius are very close to Mesagoza and thus league rules and regulations restrict them to first/second gym status as the students are most likely to make either Cortando or Artazon the first stop on their journey.
      So basically it's just another instance of Geeta being a bad boss, for Paldea at least.

    There's an idea for a rom, make it so you can go to the gyms in any order you want. The gym leaders adjust in accordance with the amount of badges you have. Also, do the same with the wild pokemon. Weaker pokemon will seek out noob trainers in hopes of getting stronger. Whilst stronger pokemon will tend to ignore them for not being "worthy" unlike trainers with more badges which weaker pokemon would be more cautious about. Not to say that you can't encounter weak pokemon when you have more badges, the encounter rate will just be lessened. (How they would know how many badge you had in the first place, I have no idea.)

Also all the Pokémon got more stupid looking after Gen 3 lol. They also had a phase going which still persists to this day of having the staters not even look remotely interesting at all after Gen 1 and 2 and started noticing it in 3.

      I get what your saying, but the three starters the player gets to choose from isn't necessarily every characters starter. A "starter pokemon" is just your first pokemon. It could be a charmander that the professor gives you, it could be a swablu that you find randomly, or it could be a manetric that you catch. Our character's starter pokemon aren't everyone's starter pokemon. (Btw don't scream at me lol I was just saying any pokemon could be a starter)

    This also explains why some of the Gym Leaders (i.e Hearthome City in Sinnoh) won't battle you until you get stronger. These gym leaders recognize that they don't have a team that would be fair against weaker trainers, so won't face you until you have a certain number of other badges to prove you're worthy.
