Taking this out of competitive shit-flinging territory, I don't bother with competitive but even I can see that they went bonkers with the powercreep this gen. You have dozens of "signature" moves that you just know will become obsolete when gen X rolls around, most of them with casual bp >100, and I think it's just a way to artificially try to make a lackluster dex feel "important", overshadowing pretty much anything previously except for the mons that were already broken to begin with. Not to mention that the average base stat total of gen IX mons is much higher compared to other gens, which you can see by simply looking at how little of them have 400 bst or less. I'm pretty curious how they're going to address this moving forward.
