1. Aptitude (Potential System)

  A Pokémon's potential is determined by its genetic stability, energy capacity, and growth rate.

  A scanner assigns a color code to indicate the Soft Cap which means the level where growth slows down significantly.

  Crucial Note on Species vs. Aptitude :

  Being a rare species (like Dratini or Larvitar) does not guarantee high aptitude.

  A Pseudo-Legendary can be born with Green or even Black aptitude if its genetics are poor.

  A Green-Aptitude Tyranitar will still be strong due to its species, but it will never reach the heights of a Silver-Aptitude onix.

  Each color is divided into Light (Lower End) and Dark/Deep (Higher End).

  * Black (Common): The bottom of the food chain.

  ? 80% of wild Pokémon fall here

  * Light Black: Genetic defects. Struggles to survive.

  * Deep Black: The standard wild Pokémon. Caps around Level 25-30. Cannon fodder.

  * Green (Solid): The standard for a competent Trainer.
