So, I was talking with Leo...and came to find out that only Gen 5 is based on the actual base stats listed on serebii.net.
My thought is that it would help the stats of some of the pokemon (not necessarily all) if pokemon from gens 1-4 had their stats redone to be based off the legitimate bases from serebii.net/the games. Reasoning behind this is that with the flippantly random stats of the pokemon, many pokes are rendered seemingly-useless by horrible bases.
However, my thoughts don't end there. This would still leave some pokemon horribly crippled stat wise. For instance, psychic types w/ the exception of a couple would lose a lot of attack power from this shift, and some specific pokemon have FAR better in sp.atk/sp.def than atk/def.
For those pokemon who have low atk/def stats, I would suggest that a reasonable portion of their sp.atk/sp.def bases be considered for use as their str/def stats ingame. For instance, Ralts and Abra have extremely low atk and def bases, being pure psychic types, but have pretty good sp.atk/sp.def.
Just a thought to make the stats a little more balanced. Yeah, there's people who only want extremely powerful pokemon--and it's not like this change would kill that--but it would prompt more people to use their favorites as opposed to the same bland 6 that tends to occur once people see that their level 100 has 210 all stats while the opponent has 450. lol.
