To those people about the discontinuation of ex/* Pokemon, deal with it. Don't get mad because the game is always evolving (modified) so it would be best to adapt with the ever changing format. If you want to keep playing you ex Pokemon so badly after they are rotated out, play Unlimited for crying out loud.
I quite like the concept of Leveling. Sure, it limits the amount of a certain Pokemon you can run but I think of them as a "bonus" as you do not lose anything if you level up (You can still use the old powers and attacks from the previous but gain whatever new abilities and HP the higher levels have) and they do not count 2 prizes when knocked out. Usually though, they are not good right now to rely as main attackers (the lvl. Xs) though. =/
