[Pokemon] Questions about levels.

Levels in their entirety dumbfound me.

* What is a level?
* How are they gauged without a pokedex, or before they even existed?
* Why is their a level cap?
* If levels are a means to evolution, how come I can find pokemon in the wild with a lower level, than needed for the evolution of the unevolved version. Kakuna and Beedrill as an example.

I feel like I'm forgetting some questions, but I'll just put this up for now and edit in any more I have, if you have any questions please post them, and I'll add it to the list, just so we can get levels entirely understood.

A level is an subjective measurement of the pokemon's experience and motivation. Higher level pokemon are more experienced and apply themselves harder.

Everybody plateaus sooner or later. You can only push yourself or others so hard.

Evolutions are optional. You can actually startle your pet pokemon out of evolving by scaring them with B when evolution occurs. Some pokemon stop learning after they've evolved into their final form, it's not always the smartest or best thing to do.
