Such as? Now I'm curious.

Nope. They have until, like, April or June for that. They still have to beta test, translate the game to half a dozen languages, then there's the whole retail process...

This is something that bothers me, actually. Breeding, soft-resetting legendaries for good IVs, racking up Battle Points, EVing a pokémon etc etc take time. I simply cannot give a shit about these things while playing in-game. In any other RPG, I tend to overlevel at the end or whatever because I half-roleplay and like everyone in my team to "be kewl" for the final battle, but that's impossible in Pokémon, as it doesn't really have an end (the Champion is more of a threshold, I don't know). So, I may care about the moves my pokémon know, not pick a shitty ability/nature for them, try to not use 100% useless pokémon but that's it. Anything else would be boring, be unnecessary, take up time and, well, turn my team into a bunch of tools, as someone else said. Those things should really only be addressed after the Champion, while preparing for Wi-Fi competition or whatever. Before the Champion, you simply don't have enough resources and will bore your in-game experience quite fast.
