>>32219280What determines a moves cost? It can't be bp, scald would cost half of hyper beam. What about secondary effects? Is 10% chance to freeze as valuble as 10% chance to burn? How much is a combat stage worth in the case of Flame Charge? Do you subtract twice that value from Overheat and Leaf Storm? What if a move is useless on it's own but has a great Year move like splash? Who is going to determine all this stuff?
This is a bad idea. Go back to the drawing board.
The best way to balance the game is to limit coverage and delete a ton of moves from the game but too bad, that can never happen. You'll have to play gen 2 if you want an attack below 80 bp to be worth a God damn thing and before every type had an extremely powerful attack. You know, back when things couldn't cover damn near whatever they wanted.
