It's been set to max out at level 100 for a while (at least, without glitches or hacking), and I was wondering why Nintendo has never thought to increase it yet.
Could help make the games more balanced really, especially if you were adding two or three regions in a game. Think about it, the biggest general criticism I see of Kanto in Gold and Silver is that it's too easy right? And the other criticisms I see with most Pokemon post game content is that either it's too easy or too much of a difficulty spike compared to what game earlier, partly because the devs know that to challenge a decent player they need to make all the opponents either have really overpowered teams of Pokemon (for stuff like Unova's post Elite Four/N/Ghetsis content or the battle towers/frontiers) or really weak ones simply because they need to make it possible to still increase the difficulty as you progress through the region (Kanto in Gold and Silver). But if you had say level 255 at the maximum, you could start with the opponents having Pokemon at say level 60 and slowly go up to the point the true final boss (like Red or Cynthia or the game developers) have a team at level 200+.
What do you think?
