::::I don't understand why you think that's better. Physical/special/status describe the kind of damage dealt, thus "Damage category". There are countless ways to categorize moves, making "Move category" insufficient. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 07:40, 2 May 2015 (UTC) | ::::I don't understand why you think that's better.

:::::Lemme just chime in that I mostly agree with SatoMew2. Physical/special are certainly kinds of damage, but "status" is not a "kind of damage". Status moves deal no damage, so you can't call it any "kind" of damage. It's like calling rain, sleet, and snow kinds/types of precipitation; trying to then call "no precipitation" another kind/type of precipitation is fundamentally wrong. I can reconcile calling status moves a "damage category", but it's still fundamentally silly (to put it kindly) for the same reasons. | |||
:::::I really wish I could argue well for "move category", but I get the concerns; on the other hand, I personally don't have any problem with just decreeing that "The move category refers to this property that can be physical/special/status." If we choose to define it like that, that should be enough as far as I'm concerned. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 08:04, 2 May 2015 (UTC) | |||
