>>38297530A ton of mons became actually fun to use in game for getting stabs. Absol, one of fan favorites from gen 3 is pure dark with incredibly phys atk but dark is special so he isn't really useful. Gyarados not having a STAB move he can use. You can actually have monotype teams but each mon can cover different shit... it just made game way more enjoyable overall and it's dumb to have a move like crunch be special when it's literally biting someone. Meanwhile fucking shadowball is physical for whatever fucking reason. It's just sensible change and i can't believe it took them that long to actually implement it. Emerald would've been a goat game if it had that IMO
