>>12813696>It makes the game diverse.But it doesn't add diversity for the reasons stated in OP! And why is more diversity needed? What, are the >600 species, thousands of EV and move combinations, and natures not enough for diversity?
>It wasn't that obvious, only if you always wanted a new type. There really wasn't any reason to expect a new type when one hadn't been added in so long.There was no reason to expect a new type even though Pokemon Smash heavily hinting at one, a reliable leaker saying it was going to happen, and Sylveon, an eeveelution with no obvious attribute to any previous type being one of the most officially hyped up Pokemon in the franchise?
>>12813751But EVs already make Pokemon different! Think about it. You're most likely not going to fight the exact same Pokemon as your friends, so they'll gain different effort values and therefore have different stats. Natures skew it even further.
