i've always interpreted in-game HUDs as "things your character knows, but you wouldn't unless presented to you like this"
by extension, you know how you're canonically a total pokemon prodigy in every pokemon game? In my headcanon, all the status screens and numbers and levels and move lists are things specifically your character knows, and the reason everybody else in the universe comparatively sucks is because they don't see any of that, they just have the actual pokemon and have to guesstimate
