I get why it’s frustrating. Terms like “epic” or “godly” are very subjective and mean different things to different players. For serious PvP players, those labels usually imply good or great stats...20+ or 25+ in key areas with proper stat distribution, with 31 Speed usually. Others tend to focus only on the headline numbers, so something that is a full 20+ might get called “epic” even if the overall spread isn’t great. Personally, I don’t really agree with that (every 20+ being epic...nah). At the end of the day, these words are more like marketing terms than anything else. I try to use them carefully. Only when something is genuinely strong rather than just average. If it’s average or below average, I won’t label it as "epic". The problem is that without any official guideline defining what these terms actually mean, everyone ends up using their own standards. I’ve written my own guideline(s) in the “Listings” section of my signature, but that’s just my perspective (it’s not necessarily the correct one). It also gets tricky in borderline cases. For example, if something meets most expectations but falls just short having 19 DEF/18 DEF instead of 20+ with 31 Speed, and the rest of it is really good on "X" Pokémon to bring it to that epic standard, does that disqualify it? These would fall into borderline cases that are likely to frustrate people and create extra work for moderators, especially when the difference comes down to just one or two IV points missing the guideline. At that level of detail, it can start to feel really petty and not really worth the added complexity. Situations like that can quickly become messy, and trying to strictly define everything probably isn’t worth the hassle overall. Still, I completely understand why it bothers people.

I get what you’re saying, and the idea makes sense on paper…but the core issue is this: People play PRO because it’s Pokémon. It’s not just the battle system or MMO design. The attachment to the creatures, the history, the recognition. If you strip that away and replace it with new monsters, even if the gameplay is identical, a lot of players just won’t feel the same pull. The emotional connection is doing a lot of the work. Recreating from scratch isn’t easy. It’s not just making new monsters, it’s building something people care about in the same way. On the PvP side, you’re right. Some may find the ban list frustrating, but also necessary. As for making a new IP…technically possible, but risky. You’d lose the built in audience that comes from Pokémon. Even good alternatives struggle with that. Your idea isn’t wrong though…it just works better as inspiration. Instead of copying Pokémon, the real opportunity would be making something new that captures what works, but stands on its own.
