When started to get into Pokemon I started with Gen 4, so when I played Gen 3 next I assumed the Physical/Special Split was always a thing, and just wasn't specified in the menus.

Makes no sense, lad. Fire is non-physical element.

I had no idea what the big deal was when they announced the physical/split in Gen 4 because I assumed Fire Punch and the like came off the physical stat up to that point

The Elemental Punch TMs in Gen 2 were busted as hell, but damn was it fun having Nidoking with Ice/Fire/Thunder Punch before the third gym.

In-Game GSC: Mons that learned those TMs and had decent SpA overperformed vs the ones that didn't. It just made good mons even better and shit mons worse.

Another fun point about gen 3 is that it did make the distinction between contact and non-contact moves thanks to abilities like Static, Poison Point, etc.

As a kid I still had a Sentret I used for Cut at this point.

Was going to teach these TMs and then saw that it could learn them all.

Was so amazing having my Cut Slave have all that coverage.

Another reason is having that type coverage so early on meant you had an option for most things.

Not to mention the sheer amount of Pokemon that could learn most if not all 3 of the punches.

The focus of fire punch is the fire.
The punch is just the medium through which the fire is delivered.

Zoomers have been here en masse since 2018 and it gets worse every year. It's basically total shit by now, as you can tell with the constant Unova spam.
