Look: back in grade school, playing against your friends (I realize both these concepts may be foreign to you, schooling and friends, but try to keep up) if both you and Keith had chosen Charmander at the outset, but when you battled, yours was a little stronger, or a little faster, or maybe took hits better than his?
That would make you feel good, wouldn't it? like, "My Charizard is better than your charizard, nyah nyah."
It's part of the mystery for the younger players. and part of the replay value for us old farts who started fifteen-ish years ago. They try to catch greatness, we breed it. Both are legitimate, fun ways to play the game.
