Looking at the base stats of the new pokemon I see a whole lot of pokemon with great stats.
Unfortunately I think that average base stats is way higher than average pokemon generations in live games.
lets take a look.
I roughly averaged the stats of all fully evolved non legendary pokemon in gen 1. What I got was roughly an average of 493
Then I did the same with the whole tandor dex and got an average of 515
The long and short of it is there are too many pokemon with stats on the higher end. Many pokemon don't break 500 in gen 1 where as there are many 515+ statted pokemon in Tandor.
Lets take a look at a few offenders
Example 1
Bluberog
105 70 75 105 115 65
Total 535
Very few pokemon get a total above 530. Usually a stat total this high is reserved for starters, and evolutions that are late game or hard to get.
The fortog family is more like the Nidoran family and it would make sense for Bluberog to have a stat total in the range of 480 - 505
Example 2
Brainoar
105 35 85 100 140 65
Total 535
What the heck is which these stats?
Why is a common fish getting 535 BST? I understand that it is the go to psychic pokemon. But it shouldn't be that good.
Look at Alakazam? It's total is 500. This is still a bit too high for Brainoar since it isn't a second evolution. I suggest to give it stats in the range of 465 - 490. This would put it more in line with other water pokemon like Dewgong, Kingler and Slowbro.
In general there needs to be a cut all across the board. Most pokemon above 530 need major nerfs. A whole bunch of pokemon should get bumped down into the 470 - 500 range. Non legendary pokemon with a stat total of 530 or higher should feel like they have earned it. It should be a special feat for them.
Mega Evolution take a hit. They rely on the base stats of the pokemon they are evolving from and while there are some really ridiculous mega forms, this doesn't mean that they should be out of control.
Thoughts?
