Instead of creating new shitty gimmicks, why don't they expand/improve on the current battle system?
Why not change the way typings work?
QoL changes:
>Dual Typed Pokemon's Second Typing gets 1.25x STAB instead of 1.5x.
>Dual Typed Pokemon's weaknesses/resistances are lessened
Example: Instead of Fairy moves doing 4x damage on Hydreigon, they now do 3x damage.
Instead of Grass moves doing 1/4x damage to Pokemon like Dragalge, they now do 1/3x damage.
Move Combos are expanded upon.
Example, remember how Grass Pledge, Water Pledge, and Fire Pledge were used? That except for all the moves.
