That's true to the whole spirit of pokemon though

They seem big but aren't.

Pokemon was based on collecting and battling the big chunky beetles in the woods.

"Well it doesn't have to be about just bugs though."

Try telling that to my 8 year old self

Nidoking is like... at least as tall as a house

Never understood the appeal of the nidos.

eevee best pokemon forever

They're just big ol scary monsters. Not much more too it than that.

it's basically fluffy cat and i like fluffy cats

Leafeon is the best Eeveelution I will fight you on this

Gotta love how broken the original psychics were.

no I don't 😦

"Ghosts are strong against them, only they aren't really. We lied."

"All ghosts are poison. The only ghost damaging move that isn't fixed damage is Lick, which sucks."

Even if they were the only move that dealt ghost damage was lick right?

"Sorry about getting your hopes up. We tell filthy lies."

Nightshade deals fixed damage. Lick was like 20 base power

Yes.

also bugged to not actually do super effective damage in gen 1

All of this is true.

Nightshade is damage based on your level.

So if you're 100 it does 100 damage.

The only prayer you have against a psychic is Twin Needle.

Gen 1 was a broken mess, but that's part of its appeal

Jolteon with Pin Missile was a decent option, but its attack stat was garbage

Pin Missile is bug..?

Yeah

Odd.

At least you could hit those Alakazams with a phsyical Hyper Beam which would probably crit from your Persian

and if you ko'd with hyper beam it didn't recharge because gen 1

One time I was dueling somebody.

And they assumed to kill my Breloom by using Fly

I thought otherwise.

And critted them with a Sky Uppercut.

💋 👌

Fan**tiss**imo~

I went down stairs to check on my nephew. He is playing a spider man game and I busted out laughing at one of the cutscenes. Literally, it’s two cops shooting and some unarmed black men but the bullets are doing nothing, then the cops yell fall back and run away

The Breloom was named Shoryuken, so they really should've clued in what moves I had.

My favorite is Bibarel with the Simple ability and Curse+Amnesia. You take about 70% damage from a thunderbolt or something then Amnesia, and they think they'll just keep doing it, but suddenly their Tbolt does 10% damage and you're healing for 8% a turn, and you Curse after the second Tbolt, and Curse when they switch, so now you're just as hard to kill with physical moves

Then when they bring in the fast powerful pokemon you hit them with the quick attack/aqua jet
