Something I think Nintendo needs to add, Signature Moves. I go through the pokedex and see all these entries of pokemon like, say, Donphan. One of Donphan's entries says his tackle can topple a building, yet it is still a pathetic move for him. I think all pokemon should have a "Signature Move" where if you use it, it gets like a 1.2x multiplier or maybe bonus pp, depending on the move. I would like to see this in B/W. I think the bonus to the move should vary, like maybe if the move is razor leaf, it could have increase to the critical hit bonus. This is just my opinion.
Um, signature moves ar already here.

Rock Wrecker, Roar of Time, Milk Drink, Aeroblast, Twineedle, Pay Day, Kinesis, Sketch, Chatter, Icicle Spear, Barrage, Bone Club and Bonemerang, Lovely Kiss, Spider Web, Volt Tackle, Octazooka, Present, Triple kick, Sacred Fire, Arm Thrust, Smellingsalt, Teeter Dance, Needle Arm, Poison Tail, Ice ball, Mist Ball, Luster Purge, Doom Desire, Psycho Boost, Attack order, Defense order, Heal order, Spacial rend, Magma Storm, Crush Grip, Shadow Force, Lunar Dance, Heart Swap, Dark Void, Seed Flare, and Judgement are all Signature Moves. There are also former signature moves, such as Extremespeed, Spore, Waterfall, and Crush Claw to name a few.

I'm sorry, but all pokemon having a signature move is kinda stupid and flawed. Next, All pokemon would have their own Siganture ability, a stat that only applies to them, etc. Then, making it a signature move AND powering it up is overkill. It's bad enough only one pokemon line can learn it, but powering it up? That would mean there'd be a whole lot of people hacking Marowaks and hariyamas just because they'd have Amped Bonemerangs and Arm Thrusts respectively. More pp is just more stupid because you wouldn't know if you have more pp if only one pokemon has it.
I never actually thought about it that way... huh... um... huh... er... ok then... um... I've got nothin'. That blows my idea out of the water. or, maybe, the pokemon who have those moves would be their signature move, and other pokemon who don't have their own moves could get bonuses or somethin. I don't know. I tried.
