>mfw the outcry over move cuts

I'm just as upset as a lot of you about the dex cuts, gamefreak's excuses, the dated graphics, yet another lackluster postgame, the forced exp share, but outside of a number of non-essential but useful moves that i can count on one hand, nothing of value was lost. It's not like they didn't add moves that might actually be useful in competitive.

Its about options. Hell some of the "useless" moves could have been placeholders while going through story.

they killed things like pursuit, which was massive in checking ageislash, now that they removed it the ghost sword is only gonna get more op, same situation with therothorn and toxapex, they've been left in a game with no viable counters

Stop defending anything GF does. You can say it doesn't matter, but at the end of the day this is just another way of them not having to animate "useless" moves.

Yeah ikr. Return and frustration were the best normal stabs in the game and Hidden Power was the most used move in the game, but it was nothing of value.

Anon while I don't have a favorite move ('cause that would be stupid) I still really like signal beam, which was a quite decent move too.

I mean, i would rather them have, you know, the actual higher quality animations that they claimed the game would have over simply having more animations

>b-but i can't see how muh favorite move BADDY BAD would look D:

There is no shortage of things about this game to legitimately complain about, so why nitpick shit?

Signature Moves are a mechanical way in which cerain kinds of species would stand out,whem you cut signature moves it's just as bad as cutting a pokemon's claws,idk how many were actually cut but I heard some were,which is really stupid.

Also cutting out weak mid game moves just to replace them with other weak mid game moves is stupid for compatibility reasons,just make the original moves more interesting!

Hidden Power is the closest thing to a move that i'll genuinely miss, and i can guarantee you that the only reason it's out of the game is because GF couldn't think of a way to re-implement it so that HP fairy could exist.

>>41094347
I won't miss return and frustration. The friendship stat/aspect of the game had become unnecessary. I do agree that the game needs a more powerful phys normal type attack to replace it, but those moves themselves? Meh.

They cut a good amount of useful moves for no tangible benefit. It's not like this game is so jampacked with content that they needed the tiny bit of extra space they get from cutting Pursuit and Return. Nobody should be too bothered by them retiring consistently useless moves like Egg Bomb and Kinesis, but that's not the issue here.

This isn't the Lets go moves, we knew those weren't making it. This isn't about Z-moves, since we knew they weren't making it either. Hidden Power, Return, and Pursuit were all important moves. And its not a nitpick, no other pokemon game has done this before. Everybody knew Jump Kick was useless because it had a stronger version, but it's been in the game since red and now it's gone. It's just sad.
