Skill memory and transfers
I think that every time a monster has a skill it should be placed in a memory section on the monsters own page. This would mean anything it has ever learned would be stored. I think only four moves should be allowed still but you can swap what moves it takes to battle with anything in its memory that it has already know at some point. With this you can place any old moves back in the monsters four slots if one of the old moves is more effective for a certain task without buying the same skill book again.
I also think that if you get a new monster instead of getting all the skills of the old monster again you could transfer skills from monsters. The old monster would forget the skill that is transfered from its memory and not be able to use it anymore unless the book for the skill is re applied but the new monster would get the skills without people having to struggle to get new books for those particular skills.
This would help if you breed a higher rank monster but the old one has all the skills you want the new monster to have or if you find a stronger monster type that can use the same skills and want to get the skills of the old monster.
Feedback is appreciated.
