>>37063590I'll make the argument that the vast number of moves and abilities add nothing to the competitive experience, but they add plenty to the in game experience.
People celebrating the removal of abilities because they can use contact moves on Nidoran (yes, there's a thread about this on reddit, pic related) now are literally celebrating the game losing flavor and an iota of """depth."""
People just want to steamroll through the game with their favourite Kanto Pokemon, and that's fine I guess, but that's not a game for everyone. That's a game for pre-k kids and braindead adults.
