Does anybody else with the games followed 'anime rules' and that any Pokemon could potentially beat any other Pokemon in battle, given the expertise of the trainer and such?
My reason, primarily, is that I prefer a ton of NFE Pokemon (or Pokemon who got ruined by crossgen evos) to their fully evolved, higher stat evolutions. Sometimes it's not even that I like the 'mon more, it's that they're so drastically different in design (Psyduck vs. Golduck for instance) that idk, I might want to roll with a Psyduck sometimes.
