You can play with old generation rules on simulators. Looking on Showdown right now, they have betas for gens 1, 2 and 4

Smogon came out during gen 3, so gen 3 existing there makes perfect sense.

Gen 2 and 1 are a bit more surprising but people made simulators and sometimes battle them for shits and giggles, so not completely shocking.

It helps that gen 1 in particular is simplistic as shit as to what's good.

Competitive Pokemon existed back then.

Smogon's been around since 2005, and they weren't the first sites dedicated to competitive battling. Azure Heights and Marble Palace predated it.

Wouldn't Gen I meta just be Psychic-type: The Game?

Not quite, various other broken mechanics make some other pokes worth using, most notably the effectiveness of hyper beam if used as a killing blow and chansey's softboiled mechanics.

Smogon began in Gen 3.

The competitive scene was actually fairly big even without internet availability.

It's fast normal type and paralysis: the game.

On a side note: GSC has an excellent Metagame if you're good at it and VERY patient.

I thought GSC was stallwars, the return of 100+ turns last time I read up on it. Then again, I can't say anything about any other form of competitive battling, it interests me from a viewer standpoint, but I've never actually partaken in it, never know where to start besides smogon articles on it.

It's actually way over 100+. But it's very much about predicting and reading your opponent.

I personally prefer DPPt OU/UU over any other meta, but it's fun if you're patient.

UU is better. More diverse and more viable playstyles.

DPPt OU is still Arceus tier though.

Psychic is always the type that stands out to people, while normal was the most broken thing in gen 1. There were few good fighting attacks, so you couldn't hit them for SE damage, they had such wide movepools that it was hard to really counter them, and shit like STAB Slash and broken Softboiled existed.

I never played Gen I competitively, but I remember my Jolteon with Pin Missle of all things was a viable threat against psychics. Funny thing about Gen 1 is that attacks with 40 base power are actually viable without abilities.

You know, with Smogon doing their "experimental" tiers every month, they should really roll out a temp tier that's OU but all damage is halved.

Attack damage, recoil, status, hazard, all of it reduced by 50%.

just to see what would happen to the meta.

I think it could be a lot of fun.
