Weavile and Bisharp become useless.

Alakazam shits on Ferrothorn
One thing that always irked me was why Ghost wasn't Special and Dark wasn't physical.
What were the actually thinking when they did this?
And to answer the question: A lot of Pokemon would drop in usage, some Pokemon would rise in usage.
Weaviles STABS become irrelevant it's mostly good for spamming Return in PU now.

I wish this would happen. Gen 4 was a mistake. So many good mons ruined.

Like who? The amount of Pokémon saved by the split is infinitely higher than the amount of those ruined.

Some Pokemon like Alakazam would gain coverage through moves like the elemental punches, while Pokemon like Hitmonchan would lose a lot of coverage as elemental punches aren't physical
