If I were to construct a team of all lvl 1 Pokemon with average growth rate and defeat every trainer accessible before the E4 once, how many levels would each Pokemon get? (assuming XP is spread evenly throughout all 6 pkmn). also, I assume you would need to total xp to calculate this, so what is the total xp gained? (FRLG)
Turns out there are only 47 areas before Indigo Plateau in the Gamefaqs page, so I just copied all the total experience numbers from Gamefaqs into a spreadsheet. The total is 598,663 experience, which is enough to raise 6 medium fast leveling Pokemon to level 46. Note that the rival gives slightly different amounts of experience depending on which starter you pick, but I don't think the difference is enough to raise or lower the whole team by one level. source source
