>>34220363please really go for something like this, there really shouldn't be moves weaker than tackle, i remember back in my gen2 playthroughs i almost always ended up with similar teams because you could get headbutt and elemental punches after gym 2, so pokemon with access of those moves were simply better
for example vileplume is one of my favorite pokemon, but in gen 2 you were forced to use an oddish that runs absorb + acid as damaging moves and maybe fucking cut for ages, so anything with elemental punches/headbutt is a better matchup even against pokemon oddish should be in favor typewise - i know that this gets a bit better with the upgraded movesets and i don't wish for every weak move to get the leech life treatment but really moves weaker than tackle are just stupid
being forced to use weak moves on a pokemon should be heavily rewarding by it evolving into a really strong one with a good moveset (like it's done with magikarp + gyarados) but having to get through this shit for ending up with something mediocre (like it is with oddish-gloom-vileplume) or even bad (slugma-magcargo) just fucking sucks
while i am an advocate for keeping most stuff vanilla i would really love to see some tweaks of move(set)s in order to generate a better gameexperience
