>>54166921I really like these designs. I just wish there had been some kind of usable Bug-type STAB move in Gen 1. I'm not even speaking from a competitive perspective, I just think it's kind of lame that basically none of them gets to take advantage of their typing except Beedrill.
That said, I do sort of wonder if Scyther would've had a niche in Gen 1 OU as a check against the Psychic types that were all over the place in those days.
