I think it would be appropriate to categorize damaging moves by power, and perhaps accuracy too. The Pokemon are already categorized by their stat totals, yet the power on moves is much more relevant to the games. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 07:02, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

The use of PP for classifying whether or not a move is a variation of another move is unnecessarily strict and unclear.

The use of PP for classifying whether or not a move is a variation of another move is unnecessarily strict and unclear.


1. The rule of 5 PP is completely arbitrary rule and would lead to much confusion. For example, Reflect is obviously a variation of Light Screen, yet not classified as variations of each other due to having a high PP difference. However, by this definition, Reflect can be a variation of Safeguard (20 vs 25 PP), and Safeguard can be a variation of Light Screen (25 vs 30), but since Reflect and Light Screen have a 10 PP difference, they cannot be considered variations of each other. Either make it that PP must be exactly the same, or not have this criterion at all.
