Gen I games are not difficult but are frustrating to play.
Besides critical hits and wrap/bind shenanigans, move sets are pure garbage.

Until level 15 Zubat's only damaging attack is leach life and it doesn't learn a STAB move until level 28 (or level 32 if it evolves).
Many Pokemon learn one new move once every 10 levels or so and are mostly basic normal-type attacks. Sandshrew learns no ground moves naturally.

You can be stuck fighting the Hiker in Mt Moon for a long time if you have no super effective moves.
Why are move sets in Gen I so rubbish? Paras doesn't learn any damaging grass-type attacks naturally, the poor thing.
