how can you fuck up a screenshot?

They're just bad at game design. They had a great idea, but that's it

they were thinking kino

It'll still fuck up your precious Alakazam

Oh boy, another Any Forums thread where we bitch about old games. Does Any Forums complain about games this much that are over 5ish years old?

gen 1 has no custom movesets so they're forced to use exclusively level up moves

>we're gona hypnosis spam that fucker

>enemy teams can only use level-up moves
>hey let's give the champion multiple mons that only have 3 level up moves total
Genius

Not quite. They could have custom move sets in that they could basically make a second entry for a Pokemon that knew the custom moves. As space on a Game Boy cartridge was limited, they saved this only for special pokemon like Gym Leaders' aces.

>>enemy teams can only use level-up moves
This isn't true because Lance's dragonite knows barrier in gen 1 which it can't learn by level up.

This suggests they changed it's moveset here but never for any other pokemon

explain brock's obix with bind

His Aerodactyl also knows Rock Slide, which it can't learn normally either

SOUL

They only had 512KB to work with

I forgot to add that they could afford 1 custom moveset per important team

His Aerodactyl doesn't know Rock Slide in Gen 1, only in Johto. is the correct answer. In Red/Blue, every NPC pokemon outside of Gym Leader/E4 aces has the four most recent levelup moves for their specific level. In Yellow, this was changed so more pokemon have custom movesets.

It's also worth noting that for gym aces, the third levelup move is always replaced by the TM move that's awarded at the end of the fight. The lone exception is Brock's Onix, who only has two moves, so the third is added on. For the Elite Four, the third move and the Champion's ace, whose entire move order is shuffled around, regardless of which one it is.

Gen 1/2 fans used to rule the internet and bully the fuck out of the newer gens so Any Forums is pretty insecure

>Does Any Forums complain
Do you seriously even need to ask?

>left head looks dopey, like it’s mesmerized; it know Hypnosis
>middle head is the leader of the eggs; it knows Barrage
>right head controls the right foot, is literally stomping in the sprite; it knows Stomp
kino

>Does Any Forums complain
Yes and they don't even bother playing games anymore. It's both sad and funny when they get called out for it too.
