I feel like the game punishes you for trying to train all of your party equally
I train for like an hour and when I go to the next area of the game, all of my party is so below the level of the trainers.
But if I trained only my starter I'd pretty much go through these areas like a breeze.

this
especially in d/p/p
my friend played with his levels basically even, and asked me to help because he couldn't beat a gym leader (he's not very good at pokemon)
I went to go do some grinding for him, and after HOURS to get get his entire team up just five levels, I was still getting murdered by everyone in the area, including wild pokemon.

At this point in my game, I just casually breezed through. The only real problem that I had in the game were those trainers with abras in jubilife city, which were extremely hard that early in the game.
