Played VB Yellow recently and settled on these guys.
Man, I actually miss the mechanics of Gen 1 alot, every move you learnt mattered and you couldn't guarantee high damage STAB for every type so you made do with what you had. When you work within the limitations of the game and exploit all the broken shit it's great fun thinking up strong teams,
Had the best Parasect set, Leech Life and Mega Drain with Double Edge back when it was a super strong move, then Spore for when that didn't work. Felt like a proper strategy constantly losing and restoring health back and forth.
No STAB for Haunter so I just turned into a staller with Toxic/Confuse Ray and then Mimic so it could copy something powerful from the enemy and use it on the next enemy. Night Shade for reliably, steady damage. Using the Gengar line as a staller in Gen 1, feels crazy.
Slowbro with Amnesia being disgustingly overpowered, and just generally strong in general.
Jolteon with its hilarious crits.
Nidoking with crazy absurd coverage.
Charizard because it learns Fly in yellow, so actual STAB and using your starter to teleport is the coolest.
I kinda want to go back to those times.
