[color=magenta]I agree with a lot of the points that you bring up. I definitely don't think that this would be a good idea, I think that the whole physical/special attack system should be left alone the way it was. Since Diamond and Pearl are going to be compatible with the Advanced Generation games, it makes even less sense. I mean, why bother trading your trained Pokémon over to the new games if their EVs/Movesets/Personalities/etc... are going to be so messed up that they won't be an asset anymore? Pokémon has made some good changes over the years, such as allowing Pokémon to hold items, giving them natures/abilities, adding the Dark and Steel types, etc... But I also haven't been crazy about a few things, mainly the new EV system that was introduced in Ruby/Sapphire... but I definitely think that this new special/physical change would be very damaging/frustrating. I hope that this information is wrong though, but I did read the same article that you read, and I interpreted it the same way. I guess we will have to wait and see.
