Is there any reason why some mons have such horribly limited movepools?

>>58679155>Muh realismI hope the next game introduces a blood cancer mechanic because otherwise, I just can't insert myself into the game.
>>58679159Meds now
>>58679155OP's question also applies to fully evolved Pokemon like Typhlosion.
>>58679211Typhlosion has a pretty ok move pool, though
>>58679230Back in gen 2 when it had special Thunder Punch, and no natures or phys-special split meant mixed attackers had a point and also nearly everything has far more limited move pools than then yes, it’s movepool was good enough for to actually be good in Gen 2’s official meta. But from Gen 4 onewards it’s had one of the shallowest move pools in the games and basically spammed one move for over a decade, until gen 9 finally gave it a couple more special moves and by that point the game was such a powercrept shitshow where even Gen one darlings like Snorlax are getting fucked in the ass by creepTdlr. That anon probabaly could have used use used a better example than Typhlosion, (like half the Eeveelutions) but their choice has merit
>>58679291Funny thing is that Meganium has a better movepool in spite of how much shit it gets from Pokemon fans.It even got Earth Power in Legends ZA.
>>58679291>it has a solid movepool until I change my argument so it doesn’t Uhh, ok big man, whatever keeps your clitty leaking, I guess
>>58679142game balance and gimmicks
>>58679142Gen V Pokemon are Gen I Pokemon redesignedEelektross line is based on Gyarados, both are serpentine sea creatures that levitate as if they were wind sock. The only difference is that they gave Eelektross a middle stage and made it different type.Tynamo having abysmall movepool is a reference to Magikarp having the same.
>>58679142This is only true for Gen 1 and 2 games. By the time gen 3 rolls around, even shitmons get more moves.I'd argue that modern pokemon have far too many available moves. What's the point of having hundreds of pokemon?Moves are less meaningful when everyone can learn it It's like making classes in wow be able to do all of the things instead of retaining class identity
>>58679142Humiliation ritual
>>58679415They also forgot to give Eelektross good stats like Gyarados
