- Status Effects stack. If a Poke---I mean Creo is poisoned twice, it becomes Badly Poisoned. If it is poisoned AND bleeding, it will reflect and deal even more damage. And yes there is a Bleeding status effect. Positive status effects also stack to work the same way. Status Effects are more integral now that they are represented in their own slots in the status screen.

- Exp Gain is logarithmic to the party instead of exponential to the individual. This means, that if you acquired a level 5 Creo late-game with a party full of level 50+ Creo, you no longer need to grind a bazillion times just to get that Creo to catch up. One swap in an encounter and the level 5 can gain 8-10 levels ahead of time.

- Moves are swappable. Creo don't forget old moves when there's no room left to put them in. They go to a separate menu which you can customize. This includes Traits and Attributes. Remember how hardcore players would constantly catch and breed the same Pokemon just to get the right nature? Now all Creo have the nature you want and can be manually selected to make things fair for everyone. Attributes also take up the HMs of this game (abilities like Digging, Surfing, and Lava Surfing) so no Creo becomes a useless HM Slave.

- Moves have more variety. Every Creo now has 1 Recover move, 1 Elite Move (like an ultra attack with a long cooldown), and 3 Normal Moves. Pokemon Power also doesn't exist and instead moves have cooldowns. The author has mentioned how unfair it is to win with 5 Fire Blasts in a row so with this setup, you will be forced to include weak and strong moves in your repertoire because stronger moves take longer to cooldown.

- Evolutions no longer increase stats, but instead change the way your Creo level up. For example, the Pikachu-equivalent focuses more on SPD than ATK so you can keep levelling it to 50 to get a Lv. 50 worth of speed increase, then let it evolve to its Raichu-equivalent, whereby it will now level its ATK more than SPD. OR you can just evolve it right away and turn it into an ATK fiend from the start. So a level 100 Pikachu-equivalent is just as deadly, if not deadlier than a Raichu-equivalent.

- Tomes instead of TMs. There are 9 elements in the game: Light, Dark, Fire, Water, Nature, Air, Earth, Electric, and Normal. In the world, Tomes can be bought like TMs but they won't teach a specific move. You will only know the element but not the move. Point is, any Creo can have any elemental attack for the ultimate customization and strategy.

- Fly and Dig are not obstacle-related HMs, but instead take you above or below the world. Each town, each road, has an Upper level and a Lower level with their own dungeon and secrets.

- You have a Skill Tree. That's right, you as an Evoker can gain exp as you play EvoCreo, and these exp points unlock various passive abilities you can use in the game such as Walking Faster, Gaining Exp for the whole party all at once, Increase Critical Chance, Healing while walking, and other passive effects.

- Rarity is treated differently and now equals strength. Creo are now ranked by a Star system of up to 10. There's no more Shiny or Non-Shiny Pokemon. A 10-Star Pokemon would not only be rare but super hard to catch and are OP as fuck. So it's entirely possible to find Creo who look stupid (like the goldeen-equivalent) but can kick your ass because they have 8-9 stars on them. Convesely, finding 1-3 star Creo is quite common and raising them is a little harder because their stats develop slower. A level 60 3-Star Creo roughly equally matches a level 30 10-star Creo for example.

- You can now fucking Ride your Creo to move faster.
