>>56276191Close combat becoming as widely available as it is now was still one of the worst mistakes ever made, I think the move already deserved a massive nerf when it arrived in gen 4, but it never came and now almost everything gets it, fighting is already one of the best types in the game, back in gen 3 they didn't have access to a busted move that just does absurd amounts of damage without some drawback, all of the high powered ones or balanced ones like brick break had distinct uses, fighting felt like a type that relied on specialization and careful planning, now it's just click big strong move and win for free.
Stealth rocks ruined the viability of pokemon that were already mostly not great and only served to make already good Pokemon better.
U-turn would have been fine if it's distribution wasn't more wide than
your mom's ass.
