Since there is an article for [[Mystery Dungeon game mechanics]] I think there should be an article that describes the game mechanics for the [[core series]]. This category page doesn't do a good job of organizing the information or providing any overview of how the battle system works. Some of this is covered in [[Pokémon battle#In_the_games]] but it could be more detailed and be more technical.
The main information I would like to see and think I would be able to contribute is which game mechanics were introduced in each generation, such as:
[[Generation I]] - [[Base stats]], [[individual values]], [[effort values]], [[evolution]], move [[priority]], [[accuracy]]...
[[Generation II]] - [[Time]], [[breeding]], [[Dark]] type, [[Steel]] type...
[[Generation III] - [[Nature]]s, overworld [[weather]] that affects battle conditions ...
I originally thought the best place for such a list would be on the [[generation]] page, which has a table that lists the changes between each generation, but it is already very wide, and there are many so it would also make it very tall.
Maybe there's a way to organize the category page by generation? Or tags for "Game mechanics introduced in Generation III" etc?

Core series game mechanics

Since there is an article for Mystery Dungeon game mechanics I think there should be an article that describes the game mechanics for the core series. This category page doesn't do a good job of organizing the information or providing any overview of how the battle system works. Some of this is covered in Pokémon battle#In_the_games but it could be more detailed and be more technical.

The main information I would like to see and think I would be able to contribute is which game mechanics were introduced in each generation, such as:

Generation I - Base stats, individual values, effort values, evolution, move priority, accuracy... Generation II - Time, breeding, Dark type, Steel type... [[Generation III] - Natures, overworld weather that affects battle conditions ...

I originally thought the best place for such a list would be on the generation page, which has a table that lists the changes between each generation, but it is already very wide, and there are many so it would also make it very tall.

Maybe there's a way to organize the category page by generation? Or tags for "Game mechanics introduced in Generation III" etc?
