By critical acclaim, I mean large positive receptions from both fans and critics. Gen II was highly regarded as the best in the series, which is why I wonder when will a recent gen surpass it.
I know back in Bulbagarden, there's a user who's really bias for Grass types and wants them to improve their movepools by giving them the moves I've mentioned and Earth Power.
I do know that Natural Gift was once a TM move, but now that TMs are reusable, GF must've removed it because they thought it was too powerful to it to be reusable.
I agree 100% on the whole Stealth Rock issue, which was part of the inspiration to that thread. It turned decent Pokemon such as Charizard and Lapras into some of the worst Pokemon of all time.
Oh I see. Ya Serebii's never been really my thing. The owner and one of the smods there (bobandbill who is an smod here!!) is nice, tho. But I'm glad we showed up and caught your interest! You should also make a New/Users thread so people can get to know you there too :3
