>boosted BSTs are confirmed, Pikachu's estimated to now have 90/90/120 offenses>expanded level-up moves were initially confirmed during E3 when Pikachu learned Double Kick at level 9, now they've taken it a step further with brand new unique moves that have powerful secondary effects (high chances of proccing status effects, healing the user for 50% of damage done, etc) and help the starters cover most of the types they'll go against>the starters now have a bootleg Z Move which is actually just a souped up Return that requires you to waggle to use>pretty much every Field Move can be covered by them negating the need to acquire Pokemon specifically to use those Field Moves
