>>50855146never knew the move cut had an "official" name. It's so dumb, tho. The move cut, I mean. Like, instead of reevaluating moves in order to fix lesser-used ones, they just flat-out erase them because, fuck it, that's easier I guess. I also assume that they didn't have time to make those "quality animations" for the cut moves in Swooshi. Plus people wouldn't miss most of those moves because of how fast Pokémon have been leveling up in these games such that cutting those moves would be negligible since they would most likely be replaced by stronger moves learned at higher levels + TMs/TRs.
Probably an unpopular opinion, but I like "filler" moves. I like how, in gens 5-7 with the infinite use TMs, the good TMs were unlocked either in very late parts of the games or sold for high prices so they were not easily accessible for the main story, demanding more from level-up moves.But after gen 8, a lot of Pokémon, especially the newly-introduced ones, had very lousy level-up moves (especially the starters) without the TMs/TRs.
If they could rebalance a move, I wished they could make Hidden Power a move that has its power determined by the Pokémon's strongest attack stat, BUT it has its base power dropped to 50. But as a bonus, the player can teach any type of Hidden Power via the TM rather than have it be based on IVs.
