So, there's a few complaints I have regarding movesets:
- Why didn't they give Pinsir a Flying-type move so its Mega can get Flying-type STAB? It's not like the LGPE games will let us use the Aerialate ability. At least they gave Mega Charizard X a way to use its Dragon-type STAB.
- In the same vain, while I can't blame them for removing Hurricane from Pidgeot (it's not really worth it without access to No Guard), they didn't give it a good replacement nor adjust Mega Pidgeot's stats to make up for the lack of special moves. They gave Pidgeot Sky Attack instead, which does not help Mega Pidgeot in any meaningful way.
- Where did Beedrill's move "Fell Stinger" go? Beedrill's going to need it when it Mega Evolves due to a lack of Adaptability anyways, so it's not like it needs to be nerfed by replacing it with Outrage.
- Why is Alolan Persian missing Power Gem? It was the only special-move learned from leveling up. Granted, it isn't that big of a loss compared to my other complaints.
- Seriously, what's with the lack of previous signature moves on our Pokémon? Not only are we lacking elemental Hyper Beams and the Pledge moves for the OG Kanto starters, but none of the Alolan Pokémon have their signature moves (Alolan Exeggutor lacks Dragon Hammer and Alolan Marowak is missing Shadow Bone). Heck, even Pikachu, the franchise mascot, currently has no access to Volt Tackle. You'd think Pikachu would at least get to keep its old signature move by virtue of having one as a starter, but nope!
- Where are the weather moves for any of the Pokémon? I understand excluding item-dependent moves (since held items aren't a thing in LGPE) but weren't we shown harsh sunlight during one of the trailers? Surely weather isn't that complex.
- On a similar note, where's Hyper Beam's physical counterpart, Giga Impact? Also, why did they give Mega Drain a boost and then get rid of Giga Drain?
