You can get Roggenrola prior to Lenora. Wellspring Cave. It sounds like you tend to grind and so you don't see where people have issues without doing so.

Oh shoot, you're right. For some reason I was thinking that was just after her.

And naw, I never grinded in the pre-"EXP All" era (ie. the modern games). I just solo'd everything with the starter, which meant that I was usually 4-5 levels above (at least) everything else even when only doing required battles. The games were trivial that way, and while Gen V was arguably GameFreaks' first real attempt at making anything even slightly challenging I can't say I found it different than the previous four.
