I have to say, this game has one of the poorest implementation of Level Scaling. You can't be putting regular trainers above the player's Pokemon, this is fine against Gym Leaders but for regular trainers, this would mean they would have the advantage and will result in consecutive trips to the Pokemon Center before going past a route. Add in the terrible FPS this game has, and you got one hell of a tedious time, I suggest looking deeper into other fan games/rom hacks so you could learn how to properly balance the level scaling. I also would like to add that the difficulty of the first gym is very lazy, as I managed to knock down a solid strategy to win but the AI keeps spamming Potion's, making the difficulty very cheap and again, very lazy. The gym leader is also scaled way too much for a first gym, as even Unbound on Insane difficulty is only having a mon a level above your highest leveled mon. I tried to look past the game's FPS due to it not running on mkxp, but these issues are really affecting my experience and I am nearing the verge of dropping this game.
