When I go to "PvP" to play. If I pick Novice it says that, and if I pick expert it says "Stakes are higher and so are the rewards" or something like that?
Was it said on the "Expert" screen? If that's the case, it's just referring to the fact that you won't actually be forfeiting any in-game items if you lose.
No the novice screen, on the expert on it said rewards and risks are higher.
Novice says: "Novice Games let you play just for fun. Don't worry about losing anything, but don't expect big rewards."
Expert says: "Expert Games allow you to progress against better and better trainers. They offer bigger awards but can be more challenging."
Most likely it's worded that way to show that your opponent's will be more difficult on a expert level. The rewards could be tokens, which served not much purpose until now.
