Might I ask why the daycare was changed to 1k per level? Sure it can be cheap to level your Pokemon but as someone who just enjoys playing the story rather than competitive battling, its one of the most incredible things when you first get to it in Cerulean, but at that point in the game you only have about 10k, and its not fun to have to spend it all on leveling a pokemon... I think 500 per level would be a bit more forgiving.
