          About the toxic leech seed stacking glitch? Everyone knows about that, it's just not practical in a single player mode where you can pretty easily mow down most mons in 1-3 turns.

            I'm guessing they wanted to make poison slightly less shit defensively but didn't want to nerf bug too hard, so they just changed the interaction into a flat one way resist.
            A shame to lose such a unique interaction though, yeah.

        He can learn mimic, though, and in Gen 1 that lets you literally just pick any move from the Pokemon you're facing to permanently copy

      My favorite gen 1 trivia is always move related, like how Focus Energy is straight up bugged and cuts your crit chance instead of increasing it. Or, despite all the powercreep, we still haven't reached the point of busted ass moves like Gen 1 Blizzard, Gen 1 Amnesia, Gen 1 Hyper Beam, or Gen 1 Wrap.

        honestly though?

        Bring Back Gen 1 Hyperbeam

        instead of being a useless move, it was a legit tactical choice to use it, and especially these days with 120 base power moves being reasonably common it wouldn't be near overpowered

        try it out, lick is the only ghost move that deals actual damage in gen 1
        which is probably why nobody knows because lick is a base 20 power physical move and Gengar has piss-poor attack stat

        speaking about lick, in gen 1 lickitung could not learn lick

    I think what is bizarre is the change they made between gen 1 swift and gen 2 is that in gen 1 it cannot miss, but it can miss when a Pokémon is using Dig or Fly but it still has the description that it always hits but it's not true.

        I guess it was the only gen I starter who couldn't learn EQ in Gen I. I know it learned it later on but I figured since Blastoise and Charizard learned in R/B/Y it must have too.
