What would have helped Weather...

If more Weather effects were to have an extra effect on status (like how Sunny Day defrosts Frozen pokemon), it would be so much more useful.

Rain soothing paralysis... Sunny Day waking all pokemon that are sleeping, Rain/Hail reversing burns... Wouldn't it be nice to rain or hail away that Heracross you just burned, or wake up your sleeping sweeper with some morning sunshine?

Or affecting other moves, like having Rest unavailable while weather is in effect... (honestly, how do you take a nap in the middle of a Sandstorm...)

There are far too few viable weather teams usable, and even fewer clerics and status healers in this game... Both could use a helping hand... cause weak Swift Swimmers and Chlorophyl just ain't cutting it.
 
Double Battles help weather. I'm a big fan of that particular solution!

As far as weather having additional effects, who knows how many are still undiscovered? This new Sandstorm/Rock-type bonus came as a surprise to us all.

You have a good point.

perhaps tomorrow we will learn that Hail raises Attack by +2
and everybody will go like "OMFG! HAIL SUPPORT MANMU PWNZ!"

so lets not jump ahead of ourselves and wait for the release of D/P in the states, so we can test stuff faster.
