>>37956843I think people forget just how bad movesets were in favor of blind nostalgia.
I can't tell you how many pokemon are basically worthless because they have the most absolutely bare-bones movesets possible.
Not to say new generations are objectively better or anything, but holy fuck there were so many pokemon who were basically worthless until you got to endgame levels because they just kind of forgot to give some pokemon ANY decent offensive moves.
And THEN you have to take into account that the physical/special split didn't happen yet, so even IF a pokemon finally got some decent moves, they'd be fucking pointless if they're the wrong type. Especially looking at you, Crawdaunt.
