>Replace both with TVs (Training Values, name pending) >TVs increase a pokemon's base stat directly, EG a Lucario with 15 speed TVs would have a effective base speed stat of 105>All pokemon are generated with between 1 and 15 TVs in each stat>You can increase a pokemon's TVs by training them up to a maximum of 47Note that a pokemon's stats in the official games are determined by (((Base stat x2) + IVs + (EVs/4) xlevel)/100) + 5. You'll notice the variable values, IVs + EVs, add up to +94 to that stat at level 100. Dividing these by 2 gives you 47 and applying that to a pokemon's base stat directly means that the change to the underlying math is minimal, which i think is important.
>You can increase a pokemon's TVs by a maximum determined by their species, 100 for most traditionally good pokemon while weaker pokemon can have more TVs pumped into them, but the cap per stat remains 47>The TVs a pokemon is generated with do not count towards the hard TV cap, meaning a pokemon with a natural 15 and natural 1 in their attack TV will have the same maximum attack stat, the one's that rolled well so to speak just take fewer to get there and thus can spread them aroundHow does this sound as a alternative? It still gives a incentive for breeding or looking for good TVs but it doesn't effect the cap you can reach. Most pokemon really only care about 2-3 stats anyway. Note that having a variable cap on how many TVs you can give a pokemon by training gives weaker pokemon more rounded stats. Possibly the cap per stat could be adjusted as well for some especially weak pokemon.
TLDR: DVs/Stat Experience/Larc EVs but with a cap that doesn't punish you for finding something like a tyranitar with a nonzero special attack.
