Pre-split were you more drawn to physical or special types?
I was always more physical as my favorite types were flying and ground.

Special had so much more good moves it's unfair. So Special.

Also Ghost should have been special, especially when the only relevant move was Shadow Ball which also lowered Sp. Def.
Poison goes to special too.

And Dragon and Dark go to physical. Maybe grass too.

Yeah they definitely did physical types dirty back in the day with moves. Having to run Hidden Power Flying/Aerial Ace on Salamence or moves like Silver Wind on Scizor was so sad

Presplit:
>Hmmm...should I run physical Swampert to take advantage of his ground stab or special Swampert to take advantage of his water stab?
>While Metagross is a physical attacker, I could invest some into its special attack to make its psychic stab useful.
>*thinks* Should I set up light screen to cover my pokemon"s fire weakness or reflect to cover my pokemon's fighting weakness?
>while gyarados is powerful, it's power is checked by the fact that it can't reliably use its stab
>sure my mix attacker has low defense and speed, but it has the option of utilizing any coverage move regardless of its type.
>What? You didn't realize that ghost being physical was cleverly done by GF to show that our ghost, our soul, is more physical than our bodies as the spiritual realm controls more about our life than the 5 senses that deceive us on a daily basis?
Postsplit:
>HAHAHA!! JUST BOTH STABS ON SWAMPERT DUDE! STOP TRYING TO THINK CRITICALLY IN A CHILDREN'S GAME!
>*crams all 252 into attack*
>*puts up light screen to reflect all types*..wow..pokemon is so difficult...
>What? Gyarados without water stab? LOL JUST TEACH IT WATERFALL!!!
>SLOW. FRAIL. MIXED. ATTACKER.
>ghosts aren't physical beings so it makes more sense to makes them special. GF is just retarded

If special you’re a basedboy, a tranny, or a child and if physical you’re a contrarian, style yourself after a Chad but just come across as try hard and preachy, or a fag with internalised homophobia

You're fucking retarded. All of those Pokemon benefitted from the special/physical split. Sneasel is usable in UU and even OU, but the latter is redundant since Weavile exists. Also Salamence is Uber in Gen 4 dumbass
