I always forget Ice was a Gen 1 type and not a later addition.

I can't confidently spell Marill, along with many other Pokémon, unless I look it up first. It doesn't help that so many of early Pokémon names were just corruptions of common words, a lot never look correct to me.

I didn't know physical/special was type-based until the split was revealed during gen 4 prerelease season. I had always assumed it worked that way and can't think of anywhere in-game where that was explained, if there was an npc that mentioned it they were either tucked away somewhere or didn't go into enough detail for it to stick.

I was confident that Beautifly was a gen 4 addition to the Wurmple line for almost a decade. I don’t know why; I had the internet. Despite playing the games endlessly, I never got to use a Beautifly in gen 3. I just kept rolling Dustoxes and thought it was the only outcome.

My first two times playing RSE I got hard-lost twice in the same place. After clearing Norman's gym, I was prompted to go to Wally's house to progress in the story. That one NPC that's been tailing the whole time actually lives somewhere. Astounding!

The punch line is that it was just next door to the gym I just beat.

not him but I always WANTED beautifly in gen 3 but got dustox every single time catching wurmples. I was even convinced that cascoon and silcoon could evolve into either dustox or beautifly because I was 100% convinced I had had a silcoon that evolved into dustox. I went through dozens of them and eventually just gave up.

I find your thought process pretty perplexing. For me it goes like

>everything else in gen I (default)
So even if I were to not actively remember anything I’ve related from gen I it would still be the default option in my brain.

I'll give you that only Jynx (who is barely in the fucking game) and Articuno are the only two Pokemon where ice is not overshadowed by their water typing, but then there's the drink girl that gives you TM19, which is one of the most powerful TMs in the entire game.

I need some more context here OP, when you see something like Lapras or Jynx is your first thought that they got their Ice type added retroactively or that they are still pure Water and Psychic?

I think of them as Water and Psychic for a second, yeah. It doesn't help that Arcticuno is the only one that seems "Ice-y" to me.
If I actually think, I remember, but how often do you see Gen 1 Ice types, really?

I see. I can kind of get it with something like Lapras, but when I think of something like Cloyster the first thing that comes to mind is Shell Smash Icicle Spear so I actually associate it more strongly with Ice than Water.
That said I don’t really need to think of an Ice type to think of Ice as gen I. Dark and Steel being added in gen II and Fairy in VI were pretty big events in my mind so everything else just defaults to gen I without me having to really think about it.

Yeah. I just remember the girl gives you Tri-Attack, Rock Slide, and Ice Beam. Rock Slide had shitty distribution and didn't have flinch properties back then. Ice Beam in comparison was god-tier because freeze was basically instant death. I figured that was the last type someone would completely forget about.
