Is there a limit as to how much you can grind? These rules seem pointless if you can train as much as you want.

Grinding is allowed, but brings its own risks. You can be TOO overleveled and be unable to capture new Party members, can get hit by a Critical hit from a wild mon when you're least suspecting it, and can still be vulnerable to bosses, whose mons are strong enough to be a match even without grinding.

This isn't like a solo-Pokemon run, where you and your level 100 Blastoise can learn things the hard way occassionally. Every step of the journey contains risks, and grinding just adds more steps.
