>>34817675You literally just ignored everything I said. Let's use Digimon World as an example. Attack, Defense, and Speed matter, but any Digimon can have the same Attack, Defense, and Speed stats if they grind it out. Having over 800 Pokemon with the only difference being cosmetic is fucking retarded. Or maybe you have this rosy vision of GameFreak creating a real-time strategy game with a combat system like Pokken where every Pokemon has a unique identity. Unlikely. The likely scenario is a combat system in which you have hundreds of Pokemon that are exactly the same. There is no way to make a real-time combat system that is not bland and with strategic diversity.
