>Be gamefreak
>Create a Pokémon with an amazing typing and powerful offensive stats, but it’s relatively frail and not particularly fast so it’s not really broken
>Go on to create essentially the same Pokémon but faster the next gen (Lower attacking stats don’t matter when it’s movepool is better)
>Realize you fucked up, give the original Pokémon speed boost to help it compete
>Becomes insanely broken
It’s hilarious how gamefreak leans so heavily into power creep. Instead of giving Pokémon things to differentiate themselves they usually just make Pokémon direct upgrades over others so they can have their “turn” being relevant.
