I can't appreciate it. On one hand, simply because I've no interest in pokémon battles. On the other, elaborate jokes like this teasing us with content that would potentially be awesome, and then have nothing of it actually implemented... not a good feeling. Last year's favour system also sounded awesome... and of course it didn't happen. At all. In any way, shape or form.

Considering how many of the features hold so much hope when announced, and then turn out to be letdowns, on whatever level, I'm not at all sure we need April Fool's being taken this seriously. By the dev team, I mean.
