New Movesets / Move Changes
Do you think Niantic will introduce more new moves in the process of launching Gen 3 - or change anything on the duration, power, eps of existing moves?
If not, I'm kind of disappointed since I've somehow prepared myself for the apocalypse :s
I wasn't playing from Dec'16 until July'17 and don't know how they did it with Gen 2, so...

I absolutely expected more in the moves category. Yes, Waterfall for Gyarados is huge, but none of the moves players have been clamoring for changes (e.g., Psychic, Petal Blizzard) got changed (actually, nothing outright changed) and a lot of the big name Pokemon (like the legendaries) all got similar moves (I'm talking to you, Dragon Tail). Plus, still no Fairy fast move, and Gardevoir would have been a terrific place to start.
We really needed move diversity to differentiate Pokemon, and we didn't get it.
Problem with Gardevoir is that with the way Niantic has been pulling the possible moves from the main games, there's no move left that could become a fairy fast move that Gardevoir can learn. Best that can be done is retconning an existing fairy charge move into a fast move.
Psychic, Petal Blizzard, Heat Wave, Fire Blast etc. wouldn't be such a big problem if many of the pokemon that learn them couldn't also learn a strictly better charge move. I'm fine with them having strictly better or worse moves in the game and using them to balance stats, but when the same pokemon can learn both or even three such moves, that's not good game design.
they made yawn a move, so they may make something like sweet kiss a fairy type fast move, and fairy wind too (disarming voice should have been a fast move), whit the new layout the can add another 2 charge moves for a poke so a poke can have a fast move and 3 charge move, and maybe some of these moves can be status moves like sword dance to boost attack or harden to boost defence
