POKEMON GEN 6 ANNOUNCED

[TomGuycott]

In my version of Pokemon, a level 100 Raticate could beat a level 100 Dragonite if trained properly, had the right moves, and right strategies.

That's how Pokemon currently IS Koopaul. Raticate has a lot of disadvantages stats-wise, yes, but if an experienced player was up against a less experienced player with a Raticate with high IVs, EVs, and the right moves, Dragonite could still be beaten.

Raticate's speed is actually higher than Dragonite's, it can learn several strong Ice moves which Dragonite is 4x weak against, and it can learn moves like Double Team through TMs that can make it harder to hit.

However, Dragonite is stronger with its base stats total just shy of 200 points. It is far stronger and can learn stronger moves. Part of the fun of Pokemon is that, despite this, Raticate isn't ENTIRELY hopeless fighting Dragonite. Its held items, its moves, its stat values ALL play a part in the fight.

What your argument sounds like is you want Raticate and Dragonite to have the same stats so that there is no advantage or disadvantage of the other. This makes the battle almost pointless, the winner would be decided by who takes the first move and not how good they are. Also, the fact that one is extremely common and one is extremely rare and difficult to level up would be moot.
