I have a pet peeve when it comes to the Pokemon games. It's in regards to all the pokemon who have either terrible stat distribution for their moveset or horrible movesets for their stat distribution.

Whenever they make a pokemon like Glaceon give it 130 base special attack then never teach it any special based ice move outside of Blizzard. Or never give Parasect any physical based grass moves. Or when they arbitrarily took away Body slam from Dunsparce when it was his only good move. I get that not all pokemon can be equally good and if we give all of them access to all of the best moves there'd be a ton of moves we'd never really see and we'd get a ton of repeats. But i really feel like a lot of pokemon get overlooked in terms of their wholistic theme when it comes to the gameplay aspect of them.

What are some kinks or quirks you have with the pokemon series you'd like to discuss? It can be something you like aswell. Anime talk is allowed too.
