>>38349062I used it as a kid. started with bulbasaur, sounded like a fish, wanted to try. I learned the switch strat myself noticing when two pokemon fought in the same battle that exp was shared. I had already caught a metapod and turned it into a butterfree, so not having an attacking move didn't turn me off to it.
I was surprised when it became a gyarados near bill's house. it and venusaur wiped the rest of the game for me.
