5th Gen A good idea for battling.

What about instead of switching or keeping your pokemon out once you KO'd the enemy, you could use an item to either heal up your pokemon or boost it's stats.

You can already heal your pokemon with potions and ethers, and you can already boost their stats with X items...

I'm pretty sure he means that instead of having the ability to switch Pokemon when the opponent faints you get to use an item instead.

I think we should be able to do both.

That would seem unnecessary and pointless and make it too easy. Sure, when you KO them you can just heal off whatever they did to you while they KO'd you! Oh, and then you can KO the next Poké and rinse and repeat!

I don't like the idea of using an item right in between them switching in a new pokemon because it would feel different to play in game compared to online.
