There are a couple of questions that spawned when I found my old Versus Books Pokemon RBY strategy guide. It states that evolved Pokemon are weaker when caught than training it from, in this case, a Level 2 Pidgey from Route 2. This means that EVs exist in that time, correct? If so, then would catching a Level 4 - 8 Pidgeotto and raising it to Level 100 be a stronger Pokemon than a Level 4 Pidgey being raised to Level 100?
Keep in mind, also, that this is applicable only for the Yellow version.
