>>34297719I thought that it would perhaps make for a more dynamic meta, I dunno I haven't thought it through.
>>34297736The separate speed stats would be determined similarly as the speed stat is now, only with two separate stats that can tie in more closely to the Pokémon's visual and tactical design. For example it makes sense that a large bulky mon won't move around much and therefore have a low Speed stat, however it it's a gun-toting bulky mon or a powerful psychic or something it could have a high "Sp Speed".
Or you could have a mixed attacker that, while a stronger special attacker than attacker, has a WAY higher Speed than Sp Speed. Is the utility of getting a high priority move worth the cost of spending a move slot for a weak move? Is that move worth using right now? Etc.
Having two speed stats for each of your Pokemon would ideally give you more choices and more variables to keep in mind while playing.
