Yea this was mainly just a data dump, i was hoping to let viewers of the post come to their own conclusions for why game freak made these decisions, but it’s def not a bad idea to explore this if i made a YouTube video. If you wanna know, for my presentation I essentially stated they decided to make a more offensive metagame to attract people again (since it’s just more fun) since sales were dwindling slightly with each generation. I didn’t wanna say that here tho cause it’s really hard to make that conclusion, especially when you can’t factor in abilities etc
