As for me, I voted 'no' because I've always been a supporter of 'simplicity is best'. Allow me to explain. When most things start out, they're simple, straightforward, and easy to understand. Like Pokemon GO. I used to be a big fan of that game. I played it all the time. But somewhere along the way, they decided to add in a bunch of extra odds and ends, making the game FAR too complicated for my taste. And that wasn't the only time it's happened to me either. In the past ten years, every single game I've grown attached to over the years has become bloated and overstuffed. And I don't wanna see the same thing happen to ZZ.
Sure, this particular "improvement" might not seem like a big deal to most people, but in my experience, it's a slippery slope. Ya start with PC modifications, then the next thing ya know, BAM! ZZ decides to include EVs and IVs into the system. Not gonna lie, if that ever happens, I'm outta here. I'm sorry, but I want nothing to do with any of that stuff. It's bad enough they play such a big role in the main series games. I love ZZ because it's A LOT easier than the main series games. If ya ask me, games like Pokemon don't need all these extra odds and ends to stay fun and interesting. Again, I'm sure a good number of people will disagree with me, but that's just my personal opinion.
Anyway, adding in Z-moves and some new quests is fine with me. I can handle stuff like that. In fact, I'm actually hoping we can get some more Z crystal quests up soon. Or some other way to get 'em. But anything else (EVs, IVs, mega evolution, gigantamax, terastilizing, etc.) is over the line for me. Big NO. And any true Pokemon fan would agree with me. All ya really need in the world of Pokemon is a region to explore, Pokemon to capture, befriend, and train, and other trainers and gym leaders to battle. Everything else is unnecessary. Plus, adding these tabs to the PCs sounds like a lot of extra work for the mods, who're already fairly overworked as it is. Maybe I'm biased, but I've voiced my opinions and I stand by 'em.
