Wild Pokemon and Eggs.

Hello.

PART 1:We know that every non-legendary pokemon, from wild, wherever you catch it, is hatched rfom an egg. If not, where did it come from then?
When you breed two pokemon, you get an Egg and you need to hacth it. Every Pokemon you hatch comes out at level 5, and un-evolved. Wild Pokemon, in Route 01, North of Pallet Town and Route 101, North of Littleroot Town, they're all from level 2 up to level 4. How can they be weaker than a just hatched Pokemon from the Egg? If there's not any exact reason, then the baby Pokemon, or just hatched ones need to be level 1 or 2. Why wild Pokemon are so weak, or it is because when you start with your starter Pokemon, in the first Routes you should battle very weak Pokemon so then the wild Pokemon can't easily beat yours. But how they got weak?

By this all I mean, why every wild Pokemon isn't level 5 or more, or any hatched Pokemon isn't level 1 or 2?

PART 2: Not many examples for this in Advanced games, but at least we have some.
Example:
Wurmple evolves into Silcoon or Cascoon at level 7. But when walking in the Petalburg Woods, we can see level 5 or level 6 Silcoons and Cascoons around as a wild Pokemon. How did they evolved in these early levels?

As for this, in Pokemon Gold, Pokemon Silver and Pokemon Crystal we have tons of examples. A good one, when East of Cerulean City, in the Morning time you can see wild Fearows at level 15.

So, the question of part 2 is:

How do the wild Pokemon evolve earlier than the ones you train by yourself?

~Thanks.

Trainers pokemon hatch at Level 5 because they are being riased in proximity to human body heat and other okemon. This is not a natural birth. Were they in the wild, the eggs would be cared for by their parents in a manner best suited to the species. They wild eggs would hatch quicker due to them being treated properly, wheras Trainer eggs take longer because they are basically just being incubated.

It's similar for why pokemon can be at lower levels when evolved. A trained pokemon gains experience through only one thing, battling. Wheras wild pokemon are not forced into battle with every other pokemon they come across and develop naturally. Battle experience means levlling up, but wild pokemon do not need somthing as crude as a power rank to classify themselves. They evolve if and when they are ready, it is only trainer that put them into a level classification.

That was one of the best explenations for this issue I've ever heard, RaZoR LeAf.

I thought that it was because of this: in the wild, all Pokémon do is surviving. They need to battle to eat and they need to battle not to be eaten. Because of that, parents can't take care of their eggs for very long. That is why eggs in the wild hatch too soon and they are around level 3.
That is also the same reason why wild evolved Pokémon are at a lower level than possible. They had to evolve to become stronger, so they could survive. And they had to do it as soon as possible, so they evolved earlier than possible. Since the trainer takes care for his/her Pokémon, the Pokémon doesn't need to become stronger to survive. They just evolve when they are strong enough, instead of when they're too weak.

Now what really bugs me is why all weak Pokémon live in the early routes, while all stronger Pokémon live in the later routes. I guess that it is because the weak Pokémon get eaten where strong Pokémon live and they survive where they don't live. But that still doesn't explain why there aren't any parent Pokémon where the weak Pokémon live or why there aren't any child Pokémon where the strong Pokémon live.

Because they want to make it possible to train just hatched pokemon.

By this I unerstand that the lower is the Wild Poekmon's level, the younger it is. Right?

If this is right. Why then Pokemon in level 100 don't die? Or maybe they just stop growing and continue their life forever?

Interesting. But we already can train both hatched and caught Pokemon.

Something like that, but not quite. The longer a Pokémon lives, the more it can battle. And the more a Pokémon can battle, the higher level it gets. It is not that the Pokémon is old because it has a high level, it is that the Pokémon has a high level because it is old.
A level 100 Pokémon Pokémon isn't at the top of his/her age, at has just hit the maximum of his/her strength. It isn't like we humans can run at 100 M/H or like we can lift an elephant with a single finger, as long as we train enough. Just like humans, Pokémon have limitations of how strong they can get. And level 100 is that limit.
Also, by your assumption Pokémon are immortal as long as they don't grow levels.

I also find it interesting how the later regions can have first-level pokemon at higher levels than they should have evolved, like level 25 zigzagoons and level 20+ poochyenas.
