>>35776347Something interesting I noticed in the data is that nearly every Gen II Pokemon defaults to 50 base Special Defense, including the ones that otherwise have an established stat spread. The Gen I Pokemon all have set SPD values (some different from the final), and even Ho-Oh is set to 50 when it otherwise defaults to 100 across the other stats.
The only exceptions are Rai, En and Sui which have values of 98, 99 and 97 respectively. They also all have Special Attack values of 125, with the other stats being a mixed set of other values. On top of that, aside from their SPD they share the same set of stat values with Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres (in different combinations, like the Eeveelutions). So maybe the reason they're the only ones with SPD values is because they were basically copied from the birds who already had those values established, but then why were they tweaked so strangely?
In the final build the dogs have a different stat spread than the birds, but something similar happened with the Johto starters having the same redistributed stat set as their Kanto counterparts. It's cool to see evidence of this "technique" in progress in the demo.
TL;DR not really anything important, but it seems like this demo was created at a very specific point in the implementation of the Special Split and there's some interesting clues left behind.
