While it is possible in the new system to be 99 attack, 1 strength, 99 defense, and be lv200, that isn't the same type of pure because reduction in strength in the *current* system is reduction in damage potential. Also, the abilities available could change everything. I have a feeling that most players will train strength and attack in a balanced fashion, and there is no reason for a pure to choose to be lower on purpose (They would only choose to max both strength and attack) The only type of player would be one who didn't choose to train both strength and attack to the same level, that is when they would be disadvantaged. The forms of pure possible have changed, and we have little/no idea of the impact of abilities yet. You're of course correct. I shall actually add a note to my blog that it remains speculative, as I am quite aware of these factors^^ Thanks.
