Damage Calculator

[Agent Syrup]

Each different Pokemon game has a different equation to calculate damage. How would the different equations affect gameplay? And what if a future Pokemon game used addition/ Subtraction to calculate damage?

The reason I bring this up is because in my Pokemon Card game that I'm making I'm going to be using addition and subtraction to calculate damage and I'm wondering how different the card game will be from the videogame because of that.

As far as pokemon battles go, i think this is only relevant when playing little cup. When playing at level 100 the difference is minuscule.
