Pokemon rowe open world, does the level scaling keep up?

as far as i could tell the scaling goes by badge count, so the gym and the trainers around it come up to meet you whichever one you walk into. that part works. wild areas are less careful about it, so you can wander into somewhere with levels well above your team early on, but it's rare and you just back out. the balance held together better than i expected for a hack that lets you go anywhere.
