>>36677313Trying to expand on "what kind of attackers got what kind of types" without inventing the phy/spc split first probably had something to do with it.
>can't have a fire/fighting chicken without physical fire, or what's clearly a physical grass type lizard meant to use leaf blade without physical grass, or a fire/ground special camel without special ground, etc.>so instead of making a move's category independant of type, why don't we just make all these mons' attack and special attack the same? we'll have to cut the points from elsewhere, but kids like strong mons right? I mean is not like we're gonna introduce the split we need LITERALLY NEXT GEN anyways>Sounds good right? let's get to it, team!
