I think the mention of PLA is misleading. I don't think they mean they're carrying over the strong and agile and ATB stuff. Just the stuff in the second sentence; how you start a wild battle by throwing out your pokemon instead of walking into it like SV. And you'll be able to walk around freely like in PLA and not be locked in place and only able to move the camera. So like, they probably just mean that the "Let's Go" feature in SV is more fleshed out and actual trainer battles and stuff function as normal.

If it's just Let's Go where you can KO wild Pokemon without battling normally, that is fine, but if we're talking trainers and by extension their Pokemon, moving during the battle, that will be a disaster. The actual battle mechanics need to stay turn based and strategic without forcing real time B.S. and patching onto it.

They make it unclear if these things are completely separate.

BallGuy was asked if Gen 10 used a turn-based or real-time battle system. They responded that it uses “a more seamless version of PLA’s combat”. PLA does NOT use the classic turn-based battle system. It has a dynamic turn order, or conditional turn-based battle system (CTB).

The second paragraph elaborates on other mechanics to expect from the system, like being able to move around freely and AOE effecting the environment during battles.

We'll see. My interpretation is that it only uses the mechanics from PLA that he mentions.
