>>52628173Yeah, the fusion gimmick doesn't always feel like its planned out well.
Unless you specifically combine pokemon with opposing attributes to make the most of it, like Togekiss and Steelix or whatever, the stat averaging done either makes the fusion a wash or detrimental.
The 'opposites attract' system is fine, but there should be a state boost inherent to the fusings to make it worthwhile.
Putting together two of the same monster should give you a general stat boost across the board.
