>>46491492The other anon said what I meant. But also it made more sense when a move like Shell Smash belonged to bivalves/crustaceans where that happening logically made sense, but Blastoise and others getting it just seems forced. I know it's autistic as hell but I just like it when moves are limited to certain families or groups of mons. Like Aura Sphere being spread around to every legendary now. It made a lot more sense being a special Lucario only move or maybe Lucario + a few other special Pokemon where it made sense they used "aura." Now a lot of Pokemon get it and it's not that special anymore.
This kind of stuff also inadvertently shrinks the move pool. If everyone gets Liquidation then why use Waterfall? Why do we bother having a variety of moves like Sludge Bomb or Venoshock if we all just use Sludge Wave? It's basically Syndrome from the Incredibles come to Pokemon. Might as well just erase 3/4 of the moves if everyone is just going to gravitate to the same shit.
