Well, from a game development perspective I suppose I can tolerate that they need to make cuts to save space on the cartridge or whatever, but personally (as a casual player) there are some classic moves that I wish they didn't cut. Especially weaker but longstanding moves useable by Pokmon in their early levels (Bubble, Magnitude, Ominous Wind, Ice Ball) and Bug moves since I feel like they are so few of them already (Steamroller, Signal Beam, Tail Glow, Silver Wind, Heal Order).

Removal 'signature' moves or moves that are strongly associated with certain Pokmon also potentially makes them feel less unique.

What do you think? Any moves you want back?
