>>42977126Basically, in something like a 4 on 4 battle, 3 of Ash's Pokemon would always get a loss no matter what (unless it was a Krabby deal where he swept the entire team with one Pokemon). That meant stats tended to get skewed in favor of Pokemon Ash used last in important battles (Greninja and Infernape, for example). In the new system, a Pokemon managing to knock something out means it pulled its weight, even if it gets revenge killed immediately afterward.
