 '''Power points''', or '''PP''' for short, are the energy that a [[Pokémon]] requires in order to perform a [[move]].
-Each move has a set number of Power points. Under the PP system, moves can be performed anywhere from 5 to 64 times; higher damage-dealing moves typically have low PP counts, and the reverse is also true. This is probably to force players to strategize and not rely on a single technique.
+Each move has a set number of Power points. Under the PP system, moves can be performed anywhere from 5 to 64 times; higher damage-dealing moves typically have low PP counts, and the reverse is also true. The PP system limits the value of especially powerful moves such as {{m|Fire Blast}}.
 Once a move runs out of PP, it can no longer be performed. After the PP of all of a Pokémon's moves has run out, the Pokémon will have to revert to {{m|Struggle}}, which doesn't require PP, but also hurts the user a little.
