Critical Hits were based off of Speed, making fast sweepers do insane amounts of crits It's a minor bug, just don't use Focus Energy lly useless beca they were on slower dudes Instakill moves were also based off of Speed, making most of the Due to a glitch, Foc us Energy CUTS YOUR CRITICAL HIT RATE BY 75% instead of doubling nore stat-ups from both parties rather tha Yet another non-issue that could very well be intentional, and either way it doesn't matter just the target. 3 Swords D more are you f------ kidding? resulting in hilarious lucksacking scenarios . Using Agility would completely negate the Speed loss from Paralysis. As in, Paralysis cuts your Speed in half, and Agility just gives you back your regular Speed stat and THEN doubles it. The same thing goes for Swords Dance/Burn Alright, you got me, that's definitely a poor decision on the part of the developers. Better make sure to have an ice heal on hand ess somebody use Haze would thaw out the to its intended effect. KO moves to instakill your with the fact that Here you complain it's OP, in your next bullet it's underpowered? K. I have no refute, I hate that as much as anyone. not an issue at EVERY attack in the e (except for Swift) had at least a 1/256 chance of missing oOh no, those moves are MODERATELY op es. Also the emy, they'll STILL be considered trap itching turn rec Better switch in a poke with better speed or defense when that Rest restore ra e Rest, you get r of the status, yeah, but your stats still stay itch. There's a p asking about these re nmy I because of that? d for a fight with a ghost type, huh? Better not show up unpr What, you haven't memorized the typing of all the Gen 1 pokes? You mean, if you used swords dance WAY more times than you ever would in a real battle? Okay uper-effecti only reflects whether or not the move OND type entire turn all its own put bac se you ep moves had 100% accuracy, this might be a pretty good ust that! complaint. But they don't. Better be careful when using a sub, huh? This makes perfect sense. Don't use substitute when your health is ect you from Status fdestruct, THEY DON'T bstitute when you h left, you rom Rage increas Il stop obeyi to use any other moves or s out UNTIL IT D never This was the original concept behind rage, and it's perfectly loses any PP in Rage other than the accuracy beco my m ove. You can use this to cate move whatever the t you with LAST TURN for hen you counter. This me 0% accuracy Oh no, did this cause you a crushing defeat to the hands of etar rec。ry moves move the turn Okay, I won't. No f---- were given that day u're supposed to attack you full SWITCH OUT OR USE THAT MO ra an Alri Better have an x defense on hand when you're going up against pokes who use multi hit moves, huh? or you LET the king move again. Problem solved, idiot. Here's the bottom ine hahahahahahah f--- you implying that a game can't have somewhat poorly balanced stats and still be good implying gold and silver were all that much better in that respect- protip they were badly balanced as well implying that the game wasn't so easy that it didn't even matter what pokemon/moves you used And above all, the game was by and large a single player gmae, so it didn't even f------ matter if your team was "too powerful". Who's going to care? Your friend who you beat because you were using 6 mewtwos and he was using 6 parasects? Who even gave a f--- back then, and who gives a to It's like some numbers are all it takes to trick you FOOLS in thinking that a game isn't good There was never a Pokemon R/B online multiplayer that was ruined because of game balance issues. Nobody ever lost money in a "Pokemon R/B tournament" because of game balance issues And most importantly, nobody who has a brain ever had their gameplay experience ruined because of balance issues This s--- doesn't matter. Deal with it. laimer: I'm n ced features, nor am I denying that most of them were fixed in later games. However, the point I'm trying to get infographic being factually correct, it ignores the fact that when you put them in context of the gaming technology and metagame of 1998, none of them were really that big eal. Only after the advent of looking n the internet did people start to whine that Red and Blue were "broken". When you guys post this picture as the end-all documentation that Red and Blue are bad games, that's b-------

WHAT GENWUNNERS SEE WHAT GENWUNNERS REALLY SEE
IT'S ALL NOTHING BUT NOSTALGIA Why newer fans don't give a s--- about Gen I SPRITES ARTWORK DESIGNS Gen 1 Pokémon had atrocious styles, with countless sprites being full of hideous, bordeline creepy pieces of crap While the old artwork isn't that bad compared to the abominaions that were the sprites, t is still blown away by the new artwork as wel. Charmeleon, Squirte, and Pikachu are he examples that lampshade this The designs of the older Pokémon are obsolete if you compare them to the newer ones. The simplicity makes them really plain and dull, in most cases. They're either animals with almost nothing unique except for random black tips or objects with eyes. Sure, there are objects and animals in Gen V and VI, but at least they're actually DESIGNED in an interesting way instead of being drawn with an eye and thrown into the game, like with Gen I. Charmeleon tries to look tough, but it comes off as goofy instead. Squirtle looks like a blue human baby and Pikachu is just..blank. Oversimplified, nonsensical objects and failed kindergartner drawings. Incomprehensible crap with not even a lick of effort thrown into it. If you never knew about Gen I and were introduced to the game on Gen IV or V, you'd think the stuff above was drawn by a retarded Deviantart designer, not the same GameFreak that drew Lucario, Infernape, Torterra, Staraptor Talonflame, Unfezant, Samurott, Empoleon, and hundreds of awesome new Pokémon. Gen 1's sprites were mostly sloppily, atrociously designed. Only twenty or so out of the hundreds of sprites on RBG look like they were drawn with the intent of being something you could look at without wanting to kill yourself for a minute. Furthermore, let's compare the s--- above with the objects on Gen V and VI It's not even close. It's clear that the newer objects have better designs, it looks like GameFreak at least put some THOUGHT into it this time around. They are not just objects with faces, they have loads of extra detail to make it something INTERESTING to look at. Look at Ditto and you'll be bored in twenty seconds flat. The same never happens wih Aegislash, Chandelure or even Vanilluxe. Charmander comes off as tough and smug without even trying this time around. Squirtle and Pikachu are both cute and happy instead of the blank, barely smiling 'Mons we saw above Furthermore, your Charizard, Blastoise or Dragonite is not even a factor here. They're the absolute peak of Gen I, a peak which the newer gens have no trouble equaling or even surpassing The newer versions of the sprites blow them out of the water. The stances showcase the Pokémon's entire body instead of blocking their lower halfs like RBG Articuno, None of them are atrocious or sloppily designed, they are all full of details and actually alive. They don't look sick(RBG Mew) or goofy(RBG Machop). The ones that are meant to look serious DO look serious. Same for the "happy charismatic" ones. Tl,dr: they are spectacular MECHANICS Oh boy, mechanics. Where do i begin? The Psychic-type was totally and utterly broken. Nothing resisted them except Ghost-types, which there was only one evolutionary family of(the Gastly line) and the only Ghost-type moves were Lick and Night Shade. Lick was a piece of crap, and Night Shade's damage was based on your LVL. In other words, it was totally useless until the post-game. ON TOP OF THAT, Gastly and his evolutions were all secondary Poison-types, which are weak against Psychic. As soon as you acquire a Psychic-type good luck having a challenge, because you'll one-shot 3/4 of your opponent's team. Bug-types and Dragon-types were just as useless there was only ONE Dragon-type move and it did fixed damage, and the only useful Bug-type move was Twineedle, which you'd rather teach to Jolteon than anything This is just one out of the several dozen problems with RBG mechanics. Also, lack of natures, abilities and EVS, which made the "competitive"(lol) of the game far less fun than what it is today Conclusion: While you're stuck with your horrible sprites, terrible mechanics, overpowered Psychic-type and objects with eyes on it, i'm already playing Sun and Moon and building my team by LordUnconfirmed to reddit
