>>48324089What was the point of Bug-types in gens 1-3. Unless you're using Heracross and its Megahorn they had fucking nothing. Your strongest option was HP Bug and your strongest realistic option was Silver Wind.
Same for Physically inclined Flying-types. Unless you were a bird and got Brave Bird or Drill Peck you had to use Wing Attack and Fly as your STABs, like Aerodactyl, Dragonite, Salamence, etc.
Fighting was also shit until Gens 4 and 5. Cross Chop had low PP and a high chance to miss so you were typically stuck with Brick Break or Submission. iirc No actual fighting-types got Superpower until Gen 4 because in Gen 3 it was reserved for Deoxys, the Regis, and Nidoqueen for some reason
