>>49881295>You are absolutely delusional. Technical Records gave many moves like Close Combat and Mystical Fire TM status for the first time everSure, but even still not that many Pokemon actually got those moves. Flamethrower has been a TM since forever, it could've just been gifted to Pokemon instead of doing that with Mystical Fire. Most of the Pokemon that can learn Close Combat from the TR already learned it or learned Super Power, which is essentially the same move just slightly worse.
>and the new Isle of Armour tutor moves like Triple Axel were huge for many PokemonTriple Axel and the other tutor moves have abominable distribution. Look at the distribution for this move. How many Pokemon can actually use it effectively? Weavile, Hitmontop, Tsareena, Gallade, A-Sandslash and Cinccino? Real nice, glad they neutered over 100 special attackers for that.
>Almost none of which were actually worth anything in terms of coverage.Hidden Power was. Doesn't change the fact that Pursuit, Return, Frustration, Tail Glow, Signal Beam, and Psycho Boost were important moves for several Pokemon that no longer have access to them. Normal-type physical attackers got absolutely gutted, they now have to rely on 80 bp BODY SLAM as their bread and butter.
>Every generation we get newer, better Pokemon.That doesn't invalidate weaker Pokemon needing help too. You're supposed to give them a leg up, not kick them off the damn cliff. Even though Jolteon has been helped up by people adamant on keeping it in a higher tier than necessary, it's always been at least decent. Now it's an utter shitmon. It's actually on par with Flareon and Glaceon for how bad it is. That's a hell of a fall from OU in Gen 5 (even though it didn't really belong there towards the end of the gen's life)
