>>32301452>Only the Pokedex number mattersYes, that literally is all that matters. ANything else is how you feel, but literally and officially, the dex number is what is important.
They have the same BST, same dex number, same name, are breedable with each other and you cant have the old one and new one on the same team because the game considers them the same pokemon.
Hell, not even all the alola forms have new stats.
And this has only arised in Gen 7 so that people can pretend the number is larger. We never had people trying to make Meostic multiple pokemon despite having different movesets and abilities, we never had people making the different forms of Burmy and Wormodan different, and I'm not going to consider these new either.
