Why can pokemon have any move?

[I like candy13]

Ever since I started, I began wondering why any pokemon could use any move. It just strikes me as, I dunno what word to use... counteractive? Oh well, it just pushed me over the edge when a Chimchar killed me using Surf, fire using water? Weird. If you have any insights please reply.

duh... chimchars can surf too! You can't ban a pokemon from surfing!

This is tppc, where magikarps fly and bidoofs use explosion. You'll get used to it. ;P

I think its better sometimes, makes it more fun and unpredictable!

I do think some restrictions should be used, just to make the game a little harder...

no recover in towers, legend, etc..
happy about that? :p

Tbh, I believe that the move Wish should be implemented within the game, and should be able to be used in Towers, Legend, etc., being as it recovers HP halfway within 3 turns, and that is far enough time for something to K.O. you. :P

One turn, actually. The turn after it's used, it heals.

[Crystallii]

Oh, really? In my games, it takes 3 frigging turns.
...I best return Emerald, then.

[Despair From the Dark]

Oh, yeah, in Emerald I think it does take several turns. Not sure though.
