Why do you think the Pokeathlon game wasn't very succesful?
Faulty premise. A couple people disliking a feature ≠ it was unsuccessful. The Pokeathlon tends to be more praised than criticized from my own experience, and judging by how highly the fandom thinks of HGSS and following Pokémon I’m more inclined to think the people who dislike the feature are in the minority. So I wouldn’t exactly call it unsuccessful.I've heard some people call it the worst Pokemon side game.
Admittedly, I didn’t participate in Pokeathelon much simply because the rewards didn’t really appeal to me. But when I did try it out, I remember it being pretty fun, actually. The mini games were unique and interesting.
I do kind of wish it didn’t have its own stat system, though. That just seemed a little unnecessary.
No I meant that Pokeathlon would have been fine as just a mini game collection with no stats involved at allHow would their battle stats work with regards to the Pokeathlon then? Just based on their speed and defense? Their height and weight maybe?

Simplicity isn’t always a bad thing. Part of the reason I didn’t play it much is because it was just more complicated than it was worth to me.Wouldn't it have been much too simple then? It's already a small game after all. Plus I find it very interesting to see what stat they chose to give to which Pokemon.
