Fair enough XD. And don't worry, I don't play for power.

Most of my questions are revolving around power limits mostly because it's an area where I want to step lightly and avoid pulling out anything unfair while also creating a character that doesn't just wind up serving as comedic relief for the enemy. xD

...But I might give him something at least moderately useful since an Ekans with access to moves learned up to level 10 only gets 2 moves and one of them is poison sting... XD. 
Well, are we expected to have 4 moves at the start, or is it typical to have fewer? 
What're the rules for TM moves? Do TMS exist in a world without humans? Do we get them, like, in dungeons or something?
