It actually removed the boost it was supposed to give, meaning every pokémon had 1 crit boost by default.

I learned this now lol, I always wondered why that move never seemed to help as a kid

It's supposed to work as intended on Pokemon Stadium though but yeah, it's fairly useless now (could probably pull Super Luck/Scope Lens shenanigans with it but would be a bit gimmicky) and even more-so in gen 1. Also, gen 1 crits ignore your own boosts too so you could be at +6 and Slash would still do the same damage as at -6 (pretty much always crits unless the user's super slow because gen 1 crits are based on the user's Speed).

Focus Energy (Move) and Dire Hit (Item) would both divide it by 4

😔

Legend has it we're still waiting for it. Really want to see godlax.

As the legend goes. We are still waiting!

Would be a short video: snorlax, curse, rest talk, roar...that's it.

UNFORTUNATELY, it was absolutely terrible this generation.

It was untiered

...

I disagree I dont wanna wait again years

:(

The flavor is too op. Instant health? What are you trying to do, kill everyone in OU and Borderline? Mega Rack-zay-uh can't even beat Mega Tauros then!

Akyure - Gameplay & More I think the flavor text was trying to say it replenishes stamina, not health. It could’ve been phrased a bit better though.

@@Akyure bruh, he's clearly not talking about health.

@@ningenslayer6306 you are correct.

@@gregorymirabella1423 ok

It was when gen 1 kings fell from their glory. Less than half survived in gen ll.

​@@Y-all-mofos-need-Talos At the time I'd say you're correct but over time I'd argue that was Gen III. The only ''Kings'' from Gen I that were effectively killed off in the meta were those whose only advantage was their speed. Besides breeding and held items, Gen II was more like the ultimate upgrade to Gen I. Gen III made trading with the previous generation impossible. A lot of things were introduced or changed in Gen II but its still kind of a massive upgrade of Gen I with only minor set backs like reworking the TM's and the Special Split affected the way crits work in the game nerfing some OP pkmn, but solved some major issues from the first game like fixing the Ghost/Psychic problem with Shadow Ball, improved on the gameplay by taking full advantage of the Friendship system itroduced in Yellow. On top of that you could trade with Gen II so whatever random effect the Special split would do to your Gen I pkmn and your battle strategy was easily verifiable when trading. What really changed the game's meta was the introduction of abilities which gave the pkmn unique properties during battle, natures which rendered some pokemon useless and others OP deppending on their stats and battle strategy and much stronger than even the Shiny pkmn in Gen II, but above all double battles which gave a whole new dimension to the competitive battle scene. Finally the thing for which all gamers complained, the core engine was completely redesigned from scratch and you couldn't trade with the previous Gen.

Well it's been 6 months now so yeah probably a year

Everyone: Wait where's Snorlax? Snorlax: Y'all mind if I *BECOME GOD?*

Still not here a year later

He should do either Dragon or Psychic type first, since they're worth talking.

@@missplayer30 How about flying?

There's a video about all the gen 1 ghosts Gengar only

@@Ropalme1914 I don't get what missplayer is on about ghost would be just as good as any but psychic isn't bad.

@@Ropalme1914 the videos talking about an entire type go over the pokemon and moves to so i really don't see your point. And it's weaknesses and strengths may not be top of the top but poison is a type with very few weaknesses and fighting is strong and everywhere. bug is used very little though admittedly the dark weakness sucks but that's what all types are a list of weakness and strengths psychic is not worse than say dragon. it's got 3 weaknesses all offensively common, 4 resistances and offensively 1 immunity 1 resistance and 1 super effective. psychic and dragon seem comparable to me.

Mega Launcher boosts Aura or Pulse moves so no.

Yeah given how useless the moves are it would be a great boon to bring back the high risk high reward element. Mega wise there would also be Pidgeot, Altaria and Glalie that could benefit from access to these moves with that recharge skip mechanic as they either lack good special stab options or have a normal conversion attack bonus. That said it would have more potential than just megas as the added boost would make them more viable for Z Move Nukes Dialga would gain a potentially brutal tool in Ubers with its signature move actually being potentially viable as it would grant a 200 base power devastating Drake and could be used afterwards with prediction which might in some cases make it a better choice over Draco Meteor. And Hyper Beam could offer a nasty surprise kill for PorygonZ running Normalium Z for Z Conversion a 400 Base Power move off of 135 Special Attack would allow for some interesting trade offs while not being dead weight otherwise when you aren't using the Z variant. It certainly wouldn't be as dominating as gen 1 but it would be nice to make the moves somewhat viable again...

Mega Gardevoir would destroy everything lol

@@necro5363 They need to buff the mega launcher ability i wish there is more move that can benefit it even an ice type move

@@Smart1529 If mega Launcher buffed beam, blast, bomb, bullet and or cannon moves too it would probably boost Blastoise a bit. Might also be a good second ability for Magmortar too as well as a more appropriate ability for Remoraid/Octillery and Rhyperior respectively

Would've been Uber even with its defense.

ShiningJudgment666 yeah, would probably out speed most physical attackers aswell

@@1ksubscriberswithnovideosc484 It was only outsped by Mewtwo, Jolteon, Aerodactyl and Electrode. All have moves that hurt Alakazam on its softer defense but of the bunch, only Mewtwo can really reliably take it. The others can't really come in on Psychic and Jolteon's attack stat is quite low and it needs 5 hits from Pin Missle to really dent it.

You don’t know anything about gen 1 mewtwo

@@thebestworst8002 everyone knows about gen 1 mewtwo buddy. It’s Uber so it’s not part of this discussion

pinsir had like no use before it's mega

Hey. Tomorrow might be your day!

@@CaioXG002 Maybe It Might But Probably Not

It's time

Owen Sonnenschein: Pinsir sucked. In early gens it had to settle for moves like Hidden Power Bug lol. while heracross had megahorn

tfw Sunsteel Strike though

Or mold breaker

I think impostor Chansey holds the title of the God of Balanced Hackmons

*cough cough* blissey *cough cough*

Actually decent. Even after Dugtrio got sent into the same tier as Melee Kirby, the Shedinja Stall can get some good results. It's insanely difficult to use however.

Lol wth really???

Yep. Teleport was a TM for some reason.

So could Arcanine lol

@@xemnas500 lol wtf??? I'm going to go try this out brb

Kujo1597 Arcanine and Shellder teleport like Avery

GF hates those situations were a good prediction changes the game, look at poor Aegislash.

Yes

Ice, ice, baby

It did and apparently, it was originally supposed to have a 30% chance to freeze (equivalent to Fire Blast's 30% burn and Thunder's 30% paralysis) but it got reduced to 10% before the games were released.

@@ShiningJudgment666 Yes, but given the incredibly broken freeze mechanic, that's kind of a good thing. Imagine if every battle with Lorelei came down to a 30% freeze chance. You'd be dead meat unless you'd Missingno.'d Ice Heals.

@@endymallorn It is a good thing. 1st gen freeze is basically a KO without Ice Heals and the like and a 30% chance of that? No thanks. Freeze is still pretty debilitating now with just a 10% chance but make it a 30% chance? No thanks. It would be worse than sleep if there was an equivalent of Spore or something that inflicts guaranteed freeze if it hits.

Thanks!

When you've been watching for years then finally have some hope of the how good was type series continuing

Is that why there are barely any discussions about the video? Remember when people talked about what they thought of something on comment sections instead, of make this video.

@Patrick William You were so close. Just a few months earlier and you might've had it.

I realized that! About a year later...

One year later

These sorts of interactions are really fascinating--couldn't Twineedle also poison Steel types at one point? Also pretty entertaining that the "meta" actually shifted with new discoveries, a decade and a half after the game came out in English.

@@Camurgladius just gen 1 things

This was explained in Pokemon Stadium 2

@@sergioav7278 When I said "just gen 1 things" I meant the meta change after years of play and also as a jab at the gen 1 brokeness. Tri Attack specifically is a gen 2 glitch. Sorry I didn't explain it it very well.

Doubtful.

Now, I can shut the hell up of urging you of shit.

Tangela was massively outclassed by Exeggutor (only getting Swords Dance to boost its weak attack stat but I guess ParaBind that resists EQ is a narrow niche but Victreebell can do it better since it gets Wrap through its pre-evolutions). Onix was also white hot garbage. Massive base defense (second highest in Gen 1 only behind Cloyster) ruined by a horrendous HP stat and an awkward speed tier that it can't take advantage of. Graveller was better in UU due to having some offensive presence and still it countered UU's electrics while Rhydon and Golem, well, they're just far superior.
