I always thought it would be inevitable at that time, though I had no idea how they would implement them (definitely wasn't expecting the energy system). I was personally hoping they would add support moves like Rain Dance or Sandstorm that boosts everyone's energy and/or other stats. I thought it would help Pokémon like Electrode become viable, oh how naïve I was!
