    I expected it to be the same as the "can't gain exp" challenge, with the exception that you can't just catch a Legendary and abuse it for the rest of the game. Turns out, leveling down within the battle is much more brutal than I thought.
    Also, if you need money in late game, you could catch a higher level Pokemon and go defeat the weak trainers. You won't level down as fast, so you should be able to get back significantly more money than you've spent for capturing the Pokemon.

    In regular pokemon, you're encouraged to just level up to beat any challenge. You don't have to be good, and you don't have to catch more than 6 pokemon.

      There's a similar challenge where Pokemon don't get EXP, so the same thing about catching new Pokemon repeatedly applies.

      Because since levels go from 2 to 100, there are 98 different values, and so we need at least 7 bits to encode the level (6 is not enough). But with 7 bits, we can write 128 different values, and so technically, there could be 30 levels outside of the range of 2~100. Maybe when these values are out of range, they are transposed to 100 ?
