Things like the 1/256 miss rate were due to bad programming, things like blizzard and status in general were due to badly thought-out game mechanics, and things like missingno or your attack going to hilariously low if you boosted it too much were due to GB limitations

TBH tho given they made the entire system from scratch it's pretty damn good
Especially given it was played by 10-year-olds who weren't going to analyse the entire game or do competitive battling, so things like blizzard being shit didn't even matter

this. Most kids back then just played through the main game and didn't have a reason to care about many of these faults.
And if it did happen, we knew a glitch when we saw one, told friends the bs stories, and didn't haggle over it much

Like 99% of these are either not problems at all, or would be minor gripes at best if someone were trying to play competitive pokemon in the 90s.

Yep. There's a reason Pokemon became the hit it did.
I mean there was the cartoon yeah, but the game was genuinely really fucking good. And on the GB there was almost no competition RPG-wise, it was almost all ports.

>Crystalis port
>"Final Fantasy" games (which were actually SaGa/Mana games)
