If you retire at the beginning of a strat battle and you choose to change name and gender, will it still work like usual where you can get the xp to count for the next gen, or will it not recognize your character? I dont wanna end up level 1 in a strat battle and have to ditch, so if anyone has actually done this before itd be useful. I asked on NA_1 and got conflicting answers so please be able to back up whatever you answer =P thanks!
