>>28152976>2- TMs can only be used once>4- damage is calculated by type rather than being physic/specialwhat other pokemon games have you played exactly? TMs have been like that until gen 5 and the physical/special split was introduced from gen 4 only.
>5- completely shitty moves and movepools>7- absolutely no post-game content other than mewtwo's cavewhat do you expect? they were literally the primary games of the franchise so they didn't know any better back then, and there wasn't much stuff they'd introduced yet to warrant a postgame or better moves.
the only thing i'd forgotten was the pokeball missing mechanic. but anyway, like you said, if not only for the nostalgia, gen 1 was actually kinda shitty (other than, personally, having my bro mon coming from that gen) compared to the games we have now, so i really do not get what genwunners are defending it for other than they were probably the only games they've played in the franchise.
