>>15306704No I think the problem is no one cared THEN. This is for a lot of reasons. The two biggest are how hard it was to actually battle back then (lol link cable), and the fact that a lot of us were really young so it wasn't that important.
But let's be real here. A lot of the problems gen 1 had an effect on not just competitive battling, but battling ITSELF. The biggest offense here is probably your 100 accuracy moves missing sometimes. Focus energy not working? Regardless of whether or not you think the move is shit, when people use moves they expect them to do what they say they do, not be glitched. Cure burn or paralyzation? Too bad the stat drop is still there.
If people went on wifi today, even casuals, they'd care about these things not working as intended.
