Yep, and as I explained, a more advanced and strategic version of it. From what I understand, the original NES game even has this system.
Well, that's why they have lower learning curve characters in the game. The whole cast of characters really is balanced, even Pichu isn't as sucky as some say. He has more power and speed than Pikachu, but just happens to hurt itself with each move that uses electricity. The unbalanced nature is only in the learning curve. You don't want to bother learning him? That's okay, but some don't mind learning it, and those guys end up really doing well in combat.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
