Line 40:
* In ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'', [[Can't Drop the Hero|Sora]] gains experience at the same rate and at times is a lower level than Goofy. However, he gains more abilities to fight with, can use all the spells Donald can and has stronger weaponry than either. The reason for adding [[Limit Break|Limit Attacks]] in the sequel was to actually give a purpose and need to different party characters.
* Name a [[Mons|Monsters]] game, any Monsters game. This trope could also be named ''Alakazam Syndrome'', for example, due to the first ''[[Pokémon]]'' game's [[Game Breaker|vastly overpowered]] Psychic Pokemon -- a valid single-player play style is to use one Pokemon exclusively, until he is dozens of levels higher than anyone else. Later games avert this to a degree by fixing the [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors]] system, although a strong enough Pokemon can still ignore this, especially if they have a sucker punch in the form of an attack that targets the things they're weak against (A Fire Pokemon with a Grass or Electric move, for example, to kill off any Water Pokemon before they can attack).
** Truly experienced Pokemon players pick a [[Mons]] to do this with that will sucker punch the rival's Pokemon -- for example, starting with fire, letting the rival pick water, then powering through the game with a grass Pokemon instead, combining [[One Man Party]], [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors]], and a [[Out
*** Not really. When it comes to beating the game with a one mon army, there are only two things that matter: they should not be weak to the stronger Elite 4 pokemon - as in, able to survive a few hits - and have a movepool diverse enough so you can hit almost everything by neutral damage.
** In the earlier Pokemon generations, it was entirely feasible to beat the game using only a single Pokemon (plus "HM slaves") in the ''first playthrough'', particularly if you were young, had little RPG experience, and/or were not very interested in the tedium of equally leveling your mons.
Line 88:
* Averted in ''[[.hack GU Games|.hack//G.U]]'' where characters that aren't in your party can still gain levels after certain events have passed.
* Actually averted for the most part in ''[[The Reconstruction (Video Game)|The Reconstruction]]'', where {{spoiler|Moke}} is really the only character who can hold their own against all comers, since everyone else can only inflict two kinds (or even only one kind) of damage. {{spoiler|Moke}} isn't really an example though, since his Soul attack is very difficult to use and he has terrible stats. There is one character who stands out, though: Santes. She's widely considered a [[Game Breaker]], due to the fact that she has some really good healing spells as well as what is quite possibly the strongest direct damage spell in the ''entire game''. However, she can't inflict Body damage, so she's kind of at a standstill if she's facing a high-Soul, low-Body opponent.
