Pokémon’s convoluted methods are a form of modern mysticism. You have to be spiritually hollow to not appreciate it. Only a communist would try to reverse engineer everything.

It's a double-edged sword. Sure it makes the games feel less "gamey" but shit like IVs/EVs really could do with being better explained in the games.

You would have a field day with Neopets' calculation methods then.

I didn't even know that Neopets had any mechanical depth.

It does in SwSw, PLA, and SV. Those are the games where a player will frequently have a chance of running into Pokemon way above their current level.

Correction, it also does in BDSP(Didn’t play), and in LGPE while level doesn’t play a role directly CP does.

for platforms with limited resources, it makes sense.
Today its a convoluted kludge.
