>>42140702You didn't even touch the major problem, Hoenh and Gen3 mon in general were designed heavily on the old physical/special mechanics, which didn't only nerf powerhouses like Gengar and Gyaradod but buffed shitmons like Dusclops. Hell, the ability mechanic was implemented exclusively for that kind of game, balancing and either making or, rarely, breaking some mons. If Swampert had SS at the time it would've been banned, but sadly or luckily that wasn't the case. Hell, FRLG had to be rebalanced more around abilities than around the special split, as some trainer would've become either hell incarnate or laughing stocks. The game balancing around new mechanics sadly stopped with HGSS, as oras simply wasn't balanced, a ton of Hoenh shitmons kept their status due to that.
