>>36962737They didn't even remove IVs, did they? Also, you say "like IVs" but there's no other mechanics like that which are detrimental, even I hate IVs. I think most people find them irksome as fuck.
EVs can be changed in the method in which you get them, or allocate them, sure, but the limits, caps and potency of them are perfect as is and allow some freedom in your Pokemon's "build" to distinguish it from others and give them distinct roles even among their own species.
>>36962684>>36962763This, in case people forgot, FRLG had only Kanto mons until endgame, and did nothing but add content to the original and take nothing away. LGPE didn't have to be revolutionary, it just had to be not aggressively dogshit. The gap between it and XY, or for the sake of argument whatever your least favorite so far was, is even greater than the gap between the worst and best mainline games, imo being of course XY, and Platinum. LGPE doesn't even feel real to me.
