Yeah there are some crazy glitches in Gen 1 of Pokemon. I seem to recall a speedrunner who found some weird exploit glitch where you can get yourself into the Hall of Fame and "beat the game" in like, 10 minutes, or something weird like that.

Gen 1 of Pokemon also didn't really tell you what half the moves did. I still remember putting Dragon Rage on Gyarados thinking it was some ultra-powerful move and then wondering why it was doing no damage (it was, after all, the only Dragon-type move in the game). Then of course I find out through subsequent generations (I think Gen 3 was the first gen where they started describing the moves to you) that it did fixed damage, essentially meaning that it got weaker as enemies got stronger, lmfao.
