I've been wondering for a while now, but.... have they removed the knochback effects against you class counter?
I just had a Trisha / Naladia battle and Trisha was not even pushed back once by the ice waves.
The same goes for other class counter pairings...
I think that's quite a pity, since it was adding a little more tactic to the battles (like rock-paper-scissors).
Now it's just about who has the bigger rock (elemental counter so to speak).
