They are two entirely different things. Are you shitposting?
Showdown is a battle simulator, where you're expected to have all this information on hand and Google it if you don't.
This is an in-game playthrough of a Pokémon game, a single player JRPG playthrough. You are not meant to use Google every time you find a new Pokémon, you're supposed to figure this shit out on your own. The Internet was in its infancy when Pokémon was new, most kids didn't have that shit. You're expected to figure out a Pokémon's type on your own, either by guessing correctly based on its looks, or going out and catching it so you can see it directly.
I honestly don't mind seeing stat changes, I don't think it negatively impacts the game because stat changes barely do anything in-game and most players choose to just use damaging moves. This is a huge casualization, though, and it completely removes the learning aspect of the game.
Like I said earlier in the thread, if they did it like FRLG and only had a type chart you could bring up mid-battle, but didn't tell you exactly how to beat the Pokémon in front of you, that would be just fine.
