Should pokémon go back to the pre-phys/spec split days?

Did the split ruin the metagame?
>>
>>59500857
Yes
Yes

>>59500857
one of these days huh?
>>
Yes anon I also saw the FSG video uploaded now fuck off with this waste of a catalog space
>>
>>59500857
Doesn’t matter it won’t change no matter how much contrarians whine about it
>>
>almost 20 years of the battle engine finally making sense
>"sHoUld WeS gOeS bAcKs To Am DaYs Of Am NoNsEnSiCaL eNgIneS???"
Nah, it's fine as it is. Especially when it has the bonus of pissing autistic fuckbags like you off so much, you bitch on /vp/ over it.
>>
>>59500888
It made more sense before the split
>>
>>59500890
>fire punch
>uses special stat
>not physical like how one would assume a punch from a fist wreathed in fire would behave like
As I said, it's made coherent sense this almost 20 years, but hoennnigers get scared, confused and upset when the series rightly ignores their childhood and all the early instalment weirdness that was associated with it.
>>
>>59500857
Every time someone asks for the pre-Gen IV phy/spec attack system to come back, god murders a kitten
>>
>>59500918
FirePunch is a magic attack that is delivered via contact. There is no strength behind the punch.

If you want a hot punch attack, then the logic dictates that it would be Fighting + BRN, like how Scald is Water + BRN 30% which is way too high.
>>
>>59500857
Dark and Ice are special pre-split, and yet their sp atk is only 35? That's just trash, who the hell wants that?

The split allows for better move diversity.
>>
>>59500961
>That's just trash, who the hell wants that?
This retarded OP
>>
>>59500857
Unironically, the games should use the Pokemon GO battle system and combine physical and special as one stat.
Things like Physical Fairies or Special Fighting types aren’t screwed over because they can’t use Moonblast or Close Combat. It also greatly buffs those debuffing moves too since Snarl would always lower the target’s offense (though Snarl itself is a fast move in GO and can’t debuff anyways).
>>
>>59500952
So why is it physical now, when they can easily change that?
>>
>>59500952
>magic#
Nah, I can douse my hand in zippo fluid, spark it up and punch you in your retarded face without needing magic, elemental energy or other non-physical means to make sure the spastic begging for a punch gets one and gets a chance of getting burned.
And if I can do it, why the fuck should pokémon need to use their special stat to do so?
>>
>>59500961
Sneasel isn't supposed to be shooting ice or darkness, it's supposed to be slashing with its sharp claws.
>>
>>59500888
>>59500918
Do you think you don't look autistic?

A punch that’s on fire sounds pretty special to me. Where’s the issue?
>>
Oh boy, we definitely needed to have this thread again, with the exact same posts.
>>
>>59501067
inb4 they both start calling you the same name as their eceleb crushes
>>
>>59501047
Not as much as you OP, still fucking crying his ebin alakazam can't punch her problems away any more.
I mean, I'm not bothered by the status quo, you're acting like someone switched your tampon with a stick of dynamite and lit the fuse.

Good luck in life.

Did any pokemon actually get better from the split and not just Pokémon that were already good in gen 3 I mean Pokémon that were objectively bad moving up a tier in gen 4.
>>
>>59501404
Azumarill. It went from NU to UU
>>
>>59501430
Fuck I forgot about Azumarill. Everything people bitch about the pre split games they always post shitmons like OPs pic or Hitmonchan.
>>
>>59501452
There’s probably others, but whining about the split is just an annoying black-and-white fallacy exercise. Metas change all the time.
>>
>>59501404
Blaziken (and before anyone says it dropped a tier, that's purely because it got completely outcompeted by Infernape)
Arcanine
Feraligatr
Azumarill
Kabutops
Weezing

>Fuck you, they count
Gyarados
Swampert
Gengar

Good luck getting any of that son. I'm winning as it is, so can afford not to obsess over a kid's game the same way kids here get right angry over it doing what it does and ignoring manchildren looking for a way to distract themselves from reality around them.
>>
>>59501546
now type that without crying
>>
>more projection
Sorry son, I grew a skin before getting DSL internet, so a child squealing doesn't upset me. Go cry to your mummy, see if she can kiss your arsehurt away like your boo-boos as a babby.
>>
No, you don’t understand, every pokemon needs a nuclear bomb that runs off their highest attacking stat, it’s totally balanced bro, trust me.
>>
>>59500857
No the split makes a lot of sense especially for clearly physical moves.

And it ruined some mons ability to be meta but again no.

>anon thinks pokémon are OP because of the split and not because Game Freak designs them to be so
>>
>>59501115
I still don't understand why they don't just give Alakazam access to Flamethrower/Thunderbolt/Ice Beam
>>
>>59501531
>>Fuck you, they count
Yeah but they were already good pre split
>>
>>59501025
And yet it does more damage with shadow ball (aka shooting darkness) in gen 2 than any slashing move like slash, fury swipes or metal claw. Curious.
