>>55010204On paper I like the idea but there is some really small and niche situations that changing something like base stats sort of takes away some of the charm of the original design.
My favorite is tied to my favorite 'Mon Spinda who's base stat total equals 360 exactly which is cute.
But since this is an unpopular opinion thread, I think power creep is essential in keeping new gens feeling good. Sure it sucks to see long time fan favorites fall to the side with power creep making things harder, but at the same time it keeps newer 'Mons in the rotation. Add Dex and move cuts forcing a re-balance and now I think the series is on the right track to becoming better.
It's terrible right now with the current development cycle, but the disastrous launch of S/V is making them reconsider hoe development is being handled.
