Topic	Hitmonchan in Gen 1 is so funny
masterpug53 10/06/25 10:43:45 AM #85:	DarthEnvoy posted... Gen 1 in general just has a ton of garbage. Pidgeot's only level up flying move is Wing Attack at lv 31 which only has 35 power in gen 1. Gust is a goddamn Normal type move because reasons. Ponyta doesn't ever learn a better fire move than Ember. The only Ghost type moves in the game are Lick at 20 power and Night Shade which does fixed damage depending on your level. Dragon also only has 1 move in Dragon Rage which always does 40 damage no matter what. Idk wtf they were cooking back in the day. Gen 1 always struck me as still being stuck in a more traditional RPG mindset where the vast majority of critters were just meant to be enemies / obstacles on your road to beating the game; and if you wanted to battle your friends it would probably just boil down to who had the stronger Mewtwo. After the game and PvP really took off they started putting more thought / balance into the metagame accordingly. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. <cite>masterpug53 posted [p:986641899] in Hitmonchan...
