>IVs>EVs>Natures>Z-movesIf I were to make a pokemon game, I'd completely remove the whole thing. A pokemon's stats are decided by their base stats, and that's it. When they reach level 100 they'll have their max possible stats, the same as any other level 100 mon of the same species.
If you want to have anture boosts, make them an equippable setting or something, not an attribute that you can't fucking change.
Z-moves are a dumb idea. Now everything can be a lure, and strong, versatile attackers are even more powerful now because they can all bypass their checks with a superpowered coverage move.
I think the game's balance favors defense a little too much but that wasn't the way to fix it.
