@GamingFan4Lyf I already posted about this in another thread but when they say the sheer number of pokemons in the first place and gameplay balance is an issue... I believe them.
Beyond even just making sure stuff is "balanced" think about the process that must go into reviewing every single pokemons, every single generations of the game.
And I'm not joking. To repost what I've posted on another thread, here's just how many changes(and take note how even the more "stabilized" later gens still saw some small additions and removals) just Meowth has seen in every single generations from gen1 to gen7.
And let's recall there's hundred of these critters or that I didn't even cover Meowth's Persian evolution or what are the pokemon you need breed moves FROM when it comes to breeding or even where TMs/Tutors are located in their respective games. So without further ado:
