>Gen 7 they rework almost all pokemons' base stats to be competitively viable after seeing the VGC metagame
>only pokemon not touched are early game HM slaves
what pokemon suddenly rise to the top?
>>26383506
Well first how did they rework the pokemon?
>>26383506
uh, all of them except early game HM slaves?
>>26383523
only stats, not a single reworked fully evolved/unevolvable pokemon has lower than 525
abilities stay the same
I wish this was actually happening. Then people could play with their favorites and not get completely shit on. Why has Game Freak not done this?
>>26383735
Because there would be no difference. If everything was 'balanced' there would be no reason to experiment.
Also, not all Pokemon are equal, and never were intended to be. Also that wouldn't be marketable, also you're playing a game that has no competitive depth. Play something else ffs

Crawdaunt.
>>26383543
Why the fuck would they ever do that? Stats are balanced against abilities, movesets and type.

What's the point of having a competitive championship if only a small fraction of Pokémon actually get you anywhere.
I'm not saying all Pokémon should be usable, but a decent chunk should be able to contend.

>what's the point
Money. No one takes Pokemon comp seriously. You shouldn't either. It has less depth than a game of 5x5 go
