How do you play anything before 2006 without using the same 8 mons per game

By picking mons you like. The games are trivial once you understand how they work

anyway i'm sorry you can't just slap on the high powered stab moves mindlessly instead of strategizing and managing your resources effectively

I sure would love to do that! Too bad mawhiles learnset just gives it vicegrip and dark type special moves. Too bad all its other moves are useless in game. Guess I shouldn't use mawhile then. Or over 2/3 of all pokemon before DPPt, since they're all fucking like this.

Ooh, maybe that was OP's point!

How many of those aren't disponible in gen 3, how many are either only in the very late game or even in the post game and how many of those take a bazillion hours?

the breeder can literally be gotten to before you fight 2 gyms

mostly for the battle frontier or competitive, admittedly, but that's still a huge part of gen 3, so your complaints still make no sense.

Mawhile make extremely poor use of near all of those moves. And how many of those single use tms are found over halfway into the game? Or even before post game? On terms of pokemon that use them better? Single use tms aren't a defense when every pokemon has this problem.

mawile was bad even for gen 3 standards.

Anyways, I prefer the more simpler and "in element" learnsets by level up, and adding more options via TM, it captures more the flavor of "teaching your monster a new trick"

They're had been at least a decade and a half of precedent for how rpg movesets can be designed and this is still how gen 2 skarm turns out. A tank should focus on controlling the damage the team takes. Instead we get happy slaps and leer.
I can do this all day; almost every mom is like this. Stop defending it. STAB types after only even half the problem.

To be fair, the split didn't fix a lot of movesets and made a lot of shit ones.
But at least you now have generally better options and gen 4 introduced a lot more TMs

This. I don't understand how anyone can ask with a straight face for all of their options in a strategy game to have no logic behind them. I think sceptile and its 1 1/2 coverage moves are a fine price to pay.

pokemon is a game about capturing wild beast and teaching how to fight.

Modern levelup learnsets are boring, everyone learns a lot of things every 2 or 3 levels.
