I agree in principle, but that's dangerously close to saying "I'd love if AI was a good game designer" -- I mean, I'd love it too, but we're very far from that, and there are even more interesting things we could do in that world.

Also, if I were instructing someone to make a Pokémon game, the info on the wiki (gigantic percentage and stats tables, tilemaps, EVs and IVs) seems like generally the exact opposite of what I'd choose to specify.

Funny you say that, because I'd actually take stat distributions and movesets and all that other data-heavy stuff to be one of the most important factors in the game!
