I don't think there will be so much sinnoh pokemon in the dex.

Now, I only added 1 Sinnoh pokemon in, (Skuntank). The rest are Hoenn pokemon.

Clairs' roster's moveset.

Dragonair (Flamethrower, thunderbolt, Ice Beam, DragonBreath)
Gyarados (Aqua Tail, Dragon Dance, Ice Fang, Thrash)
Dragonair (Slam, DragonRush, Aqua Tail, Thunder Wave)
Kingdra (Outrage, Rain Dance, Waterfall, Body Slam)

Instead of adding unreasonable Pokemon to Karen's roster such as Skutank, why don't you rearrange it and use all of the Gen-2 Dark-types (whilst keeping the rematches in mind)? Karen can easily have a Sneasel, Murkrow, Umbreon, Houndoom and a Tyranitar. This would actually make her challenging and provide further challenge for the rematches as the Sneasel and Murkrow can evolve. Karen was WAY too easy for the last Elite Four member.

Here's my rosters
I won't believe the rosters posted on Japanese Forums until I see proof

Falkner Overall, very good.
Hoot-hoot Lvl 10
Farfetch'd lvl 10
Pidgeotto lvl 12

Bugsy Again, very good.
Spinarak lvl 15
Ledyba lvl 15
Scyther lvl 17

Whitney The only change I would make is to replace Furret with Snubbull, Jigglypuff, or even Togetic.
Clefairy lvl 21
Furret lvl 22
Miltank lvl 24

Morty Very good.
Haunter lvl 27
Misdreavus lvl 27
Gengar lvl 29

Chuck Yes, good.
Primape lvl 31
Hitmontop lvl 31
Poliwrath lvl 33

Jasmine Overall, good. I'm still stuck between whether she should have Skarmory or Forretress, but either one's alright.
Magneton lvl 35
Skarmory lvl 36
Steelix lvl 38

Pryce Piloswine and Dewgong are alright, but the others probably need to change. Delibird seems a little too...Cheery, for Pryce. And Sneasel should probably be saved for Karen. Maybe throw in Lapras and Cloyster instead of those two, or possibly even Jynx?
Delibird lvl 39
Sneasel lvl 40
Dewgong lvl 40
Piloswine lvl 42

Clair I doubt that there will be two Dragonair, and I also doubt that she'll have a Gyarados since Lance will probably have one. I'd say replace one Dragonair with Arcanine, and Gyarados with Nidoqueen, Ampharos, Rhyhorn, Rhydon, or even Feraligatr. Pretty much any of those.
Dragonair lvl 44
Gyarados lvl 45
Dragonair lvl 45
Kingdra lvl 47

Comments in bold.
 

Ledyba

I sleep with bugz.
Morty, the fourth gym, is easy!

Gastly-Haunter-Gengar; Gengar as his main Pokémon. Haunter as his first Pokémon, en Gastly is too weak.
Misdreavus; I dont know why they didnt give Morty one in GSC. Anyways, Misdreavus is a MUST.

Morty
Haunter lv.26
Misdreavus lv.26
Gengar lv.28

CHUCK
Mankey-Primeape; Primeape looks great on Chuck.
Poliwrath; Can be his main Pokémon like GSC, but there are Johto Pokémon too.
Machop-Machoke-Machamp; No Machop or Machoke, en no Machamp.
Hitmonlee; I prefer Hitmonchan and Hitmontop.
Hitmonchan; Maybe.
Heracross; Great.
Tyrogue-Hitmontop; Hitmontop is also great.

Chuck
Primeape lv.32
Heracross lv.32
Hitmontop lv.34

(no Poliwrath this time)

JASMINE
Magnemite-Magneton; Magneton for sure.
Forretress; Not suits Jasmine.
Steelix; Main Pokémon.
Scizor; Again, not suits Jasmine.
Skarmory; As the first Pokémon? Great!

Jasmine
Skarmory lv.33
Magneton lv.34
Steelix lv.36

PRYCE
Dewgong; Hmm, can be an option.
Cloyster; Yes please! But I doubt it.
Jynx; Can also be an option. There are so many cool Ice Pokémon..(get the joke? :p)
Lapras; Same as Cloyster.
Sneasel; YES.
Swinub-Piloswine; Piloswine as the main Pokémon.
Delibird; Can be an option. Lapras/Cloyster ---> Delibird.
Smoochum; Haha, no.

Pryce
Sneasel lv.38
Cloyster lv.39
Lapras lv.38
Pilosiwne lv.40

CLAIR
(also dragon-like pokemon and pokemon that can learn dragon types)
Charizard; Is going to Lance.
Nidoqueen; I like Rhydon more.
Nidoking; Its a female gymleader, no Nidokings.
Arcanine; Lavagym + learns Dragon Pulse by TM = Pokémon for Clair.
Onix-Steelix; Steelix is going to Jasmine/Bruno, and Onix is just stupid!
Rhyhorn-Rhydon; Rhydon is doing to Clair, baby!
Horsea-Seadra-Kingdra; Kingdra as the main Pokémon.
Gyarados; Yes please.
Lapras; Pryce has one.
Aerodactyl; Same as Charizard.
Dratini-Dragonair-Dragonite; Dratini too weak, Dragonite too strong, so Dragonair 's gonna be on her team.
Feraligatr; For Lance!
Tyranitar; Also for Lance.

tell me when to go
I remember when the Elite Four had pokemon starting from lvl 42 leading up to Lance's lvl 52 dragonite.that was on the old 2nd generation games.

the Elite Four on every generation are so much tougher than the G/S/C games.

It's crazy looking back and seeing how weak the Elite Four and the Gym Leaders were compared to now.

I really, really hope they up it. And that Red takes back his position of having the highest level pokemon for an NPC in the games.

thank you for correcting me and as you can see, the Elite Four is strong on all games but G/S/C.

That's why I just about won with level 38-41s.

Levels don't mean much. They may have been much lower than they were in R/B/Y, but it was because the routes in Johto were shorter, the wild Pokemon were weaker and the trainers were weaker. If you beat every trainer before the Elite Four, you should technically have the same challenge as when you'd battle any other region's Elite Four.

But the E4 are so weak.

I like to have let say goals in the game. In every game all my pokes need to be level 30 by the 4th gym and it took forever in GSC

That's not really the reason why the levels were so low. Johto is roughly the same size as Kanto, they both have the same amount of Cities/Towns, while Johto has a tiny bit less routes. The main problem was that you could access Mahogany Town and Route 43 as soon as you had 4 badges, so they made the levels low like that so then anyone "accidentally" thinking that they should go east after defeating Morty wouldn't have too hard of a time.

I think what they should have done was have the east exit of Eckruteak City blocked off by security guards until you have 6 badges. That would easily allow Route 42 and 43 to have higher leveled Pokemon (around Lv25-30) rather than Lv15 Flaafy.
