What if Pokemon moves had more categories, beyond Status/Physical/Special?
Honestly a lot of Pokemon could benefit from a move category that's Special and Physical at the same time, and just chooses your higher attack stat. There's a lot of moves that conceptually toe the line between Physical and Special, but currently the game is forced to categorize them as one or the other, and as a result a fuckton of moves are just unavailable/useless to certain Pokemon cuz it relies on their weaker attack stat.
And there's all sorts of ways you could divide up Status moves.
