>>41683375I've thought about this a lot. In Detective Pikachu you see that there are underground fighters that don't follow the rules of the Pokemon League, where it seems like anything goes. Imagine how violent and dangerous a powerful pokemon could be if you just wanted to fuck somebody up and didn't have to follow any of the rules like waiting turns, only using league-approved moves, or doing more damage than is safe determined by the HP gauge, etc.
I kind of wish the villains in the game were made stronger by not following the League's rules. (except for actually killing your pokemon ofc)
