Please. I still remember my incredible disappointment in Ruby when Nincada, an early bug pokemon after my favorite real life bug, took five times as long to level up as every other critter on my team.

According to the GameInformer interview

specifically

EXP. SHARE IS BAKED INTO POKÉMON SWORD AND SHIELD
You no longer have an item to divvy the experience throughout your party of Pokémon.

There is nothing there suggesting it can't be turned off. Like Set Battles, it could be an option in the menu.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

That does make sense that it is projected. Otherwise everyone in that stadium would most likely die a horrible death before the first fight even finishes.

I really pray that's true. I'd much rather have full control over who does or does not get EXP in the party. Not only does it make the game too easy if everyone levels up at once, but it can really screw up long-term planning with moves and evolutions.

Dyna/Gigantamax can only be performed in Stadiums, right? So they're not actually growing, this is just some Yu-Gi-Oh! Solid Vision bullshit.

Which is actually way better because it makes sense from a spectator sport perspective and the idea of the Pokemon actually becoming huge was really silly.

EDIT: Wait what about Max Raids? Holograms Gone Wild?

That still doesn't make any sense because why would a giant Solid Vision Pikachu suddenly get a health bonus and learn brand new attacks? And how does Gigantamaxing factor in?

This is even sillier than the becoming huge thing. :psyduck:

its particularly weird if only one mon is currently Maxed since then you have, what, an absolutely enormous hardlight mon dropping meteors on a regular tiny thing? that'd be so jarring as a spectator which is presumably the lore justification int he first place

Have the friendship systen from Lets Go but make it more accurate. Invent a peripheral heart rate monitor that tracks how much I believe in my pokemon and buffs/debuffs them accordingly. The peripheral will cost $10, be sold separately, and have its only other use be a warioware game.

I threw this out a few pages ago, but didn't see an answer.

Any details on how bottlecapped stats will work outside the gen 7 games? Do pokemon keep their perfect IVs? Are IVs even going to be A Thing in gen 8 from how it is sounding?
