In my Final Fantasy 1 medieval fantasy setting, most people who train pokemon for combat only train one pokemon. This is because feeding and taking care of pokemon is more difficult in a less advanced society. Even soldiers tend to only keep one pokemon because the army can only afford to fund one each. Due to this humans (and other races like elves and dwarves) are expected to fight alongside their pokemon if the need arises. While most town guards or knights prefer to let their pokemon take care of most fights they are prepared and trained to jump in.
This has led to most 'trainers' being very specialized since they don't have much choice. Corneria, the home kingdom of the MC, has a ritual festival where young children choose their partner pokemon and it often remains their only pokemon for life. Those who train to fight for whatever reason thus learn how best to fight beside their pokemon. A knight with a Blastoise takes up a shield to cover for when his partner's protect is down. A dodrio rider focuses on hit and run attacks as their pokemon runs by. A Venusaur befuddles and confounds opponents to keep them away from a mage as they focus on casting spells.
So technically speaking, the average trainer is running around with over leveled solo 'teams'. But since combat is more serious they fight less often, meaning they aren't grinding to the crazy levels a solo MC would be reaching. So it pretty much evens out to even levels of an average team stregnth of regular setting.
