"Playing through Emerald for the first time has made me realize how much I took the Physical-Special split for granted."

I started with Generation IV, and after playing ORAS I decided to try Emerald and see how different it was. I’m enjoying it, but I do have one major complaint: the lack of the physical-special split. What was Game Freak thinking before Gen IV when they made Water-types with high Attack, but all of their STAB moves were special? Thank fuck they changed it. My Azumarill has to rely on Secret Power to put out damage because it can’t use its god tier Attack for STAB moves, which doesn’t feel right at all. How did people survive before the split?At least Sceptile actually gets to use Leaf Blade in Hoenn... via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/3r82eht
