>>56136971i think people are incapable of imagining a game where, say, bellossom δ is still a pure grass-type pokemon (which is why it is still weak to fire and resists water) that has water-type attacks in place of what it would normally be learning as a grass-type without itself also being water-type in part or whole BECAUSE of concerns that "you just can't" make a pokemon that isn't geared towards taking full advantage of STAB. what's being missed, though, is that a setting where pokemon have moves tailor-made for them is that you can really easily balance these new attacks around the explicit understanding that they aren't likely to be getting STAB in them.
