Just been playing Pokemon Green recently to get the nostalgia feel from Gen I. And seriously, who the fuck thought releasing this shit was a good idea?
>waking up wastes one turn
>Wrap is retardedly OP and coupled with paralysis or badly poisoned status makes it overwhelming
>there's even a fucking bug where a poisoned Pokemon using Wrap triggers twice the status damage for each of the extra attacks
>luck-based events such as self-damage during confusion, accuracy, and stuff like critical hits either work all the fucking time or never (Ondine's Starmie crit 4 fucking times in a row when I fought it)
>Psychic types are absolutely overwhelming and catching a fucking Abra in the wild on the north of Cerulean makes you go Easy mode for the entire duration of the game
>Ghost counters most attacks (they'd be quite OP too if they weren't Poison type as well)
>Grass, Bug and Ghost types have to rely on status changes because who the fuck cares about making actual attacks for them
>SP ATK and SP DEF are gathered in a single stat, which makes it a must-have for any Pokemon, no matter if it actually uses special attacks or not...
>...which does not fucking matter anyway because special attacks barely exist and Psychic types hold the monopoly over the few that actually exist

How ANYONE can think those games are good is fucking beyond any understanding.
