Fast, but also very unstable.
After several rounds of chase racing against Little Sheep, that was Lilligant's assessment.
In her view, the Rotary Engine certainly had strengths that could shine. The problem was that its weaknesses were so crippling that it was essentially regarded as a nostalgic indulgence.
"Yes."
Shen Qi agreed with Lilligant's judgment.
The increase in speed was staggering, and Little Sheep really was very unstable now. With improved performance across the board and reduced overall weight, there was a lot Shen Qi needed to gradually get used to.
To use Pokémon battles as an example, suppose a team had a physical attacker with a base stat total of 400, and later acquired another physical attacker with a higher base stat total, the same typing, and a similar stat distribution.
In theory, the newer Pokémon could directly replace the previous physical attacker. At least, that was possible in the games.
The problem lay in compatibility.
A Pokémon Trainer and their previous Pokémon had fought side by side for years. With a single thought... even without one, their old partner would know how to coordinate with them in training and battle.
But the newcomer had not had enough time to adjust. After receiving a command, they might hesitate for a few seconds or slightly misunderstand it. Even a brief delay in the arena could get them knocked out before their superior base stats came into play.
The current Little Sheep was like another Pokémon with boosted base stats, but one relatively unfamiliar with Shen Qi.
What feedback he felt when he stepped on the accelerator, how much force the brakes applied when he pressed them-he had to get used to all of it again.
There were no shortcuts. It took hundreds and thousands of repetitions of accelerating, braking, and
