Title: Pokémon in X & Y Will Gain Experience After Capturing a Pokémon
Post by: JusDBerube on September 19, 2013, 08:18:42 AM

Yet another positive changed in the upcoming Pokémon games.

After capturing a Pokémon in X & Y, the Pokémon the trainer went into battle with will now receive experience points.

In past iterations of the franchise a player’s Pokémon would not gain any experience after capturing a Pokémon. This is yet another positive, although minor, change to the existing formula.

This information comes from a hands on preview of the games we had last Tuesday. Pokémon X and Y will be released globally on October 12.

That's awful. Why would a Pokemon gain experience for the trainer's work?

All the trainers doing is throwing balls and giving orders, the Pokemons doing all the work fighting and weakening it. This is a cool addition.

Yeah, you technically "win" the battle with a successful capture. This is a pretty cool, if incredibly minor, improvement.
