We don’t have any evidence that Defense Curl, Harden, or Acid Armor were ever different (they could have been earlier, but not in the dev data we have). However, you are right about Leer and Tail Whip! Originally, Leer lowered Defense and Special, while Tail Whip just lowered Defense. That makes me think that maybe Harden used to raise Special as well as Defense. They probably changed both of these because the intent was for them to cut or raise the Pokémon’s ability to defend against special attacks, but instead the moves were being used to cut or raise the attack power of special moves, which wasn’t the flavor intent.
@MayVeryWellBeep11 ай бұрын
The other day I was thinking about this - with physical/special being tied to type in early gens, Pokémon's defensive stats are essentially a second form of "type weakness" or "type resistance" in those gens. A high special stat grants a degree of resistance to all water attacks, all grass attacks, etc, whereas a low special stat means a weakness to all water moves, all grass moves, etc. This means that Geodude is weak to water and grass 3 times over - because of its rock type, because of its ground type, AND because of its low special stat.
@TheDarkFiddler11 ай бұрын
This is a really interesting perspective, and it makes me wonder how the run would change if you swapped Geodude's Defense and Special, essentially turning the water and grass attacks into a "normal weakness" but returning normal to "normal effectiveness". Geodude would be a great 'mon to test this with, since the only moveset option it really opens up is Fire Blast (and Mimic strats, I suppose) so it isn't making massive changes.

If Rhyhorn doesn’t have that explains why it struggles so much when Geodude might succeed. Your playthrough was impressive. I definitely thought you would end up with a worse time than that.

My own theory regarding the Defense Curl/Harden thing is that it may be related to the fact that there really was a very limited number of moves available in Gen 1 and some pokemon just had their moveset lengthened with "filler moves". You know, that are there to give a feeling of progression while leveling up but they couldn't think of anything better to teach it. Incidentally, this is why when I created my own romhack for the game the first thing I did was add around 90 moves (which I tried to split evenly between the types), which radically changes the dynamics of the game.

I've got an idea for a special run: Take one of the Pokemon which struggled the hardest with Brock and Misty and afterwards was sweeping and replay it in an open world version of Pokemon Yellow. Meaning you get access to and the ability to use every HM required for the playthrough. Maybe chose one that can't learn surf. Fly is only partially useful as you still can only fly to cities you've visited already. But it'd be interesting to see what happens to Pokemon with a lot of potential if you remove the biggest barrier at the beginning.

The dude has done it ! The medium slow growth rate was coming in handy,and if added to that a badge boosting move with 2 good options for stab ,then Geodude is pretty decent. Adding seismic toss in early game made a difference when it comes to the resets. Even though most of Geodude's resets on second playthrough were due to bad luck and it's atrocious special capabilities with dealing with 4 times damage from stab water and grass moves.🤔 But overall Geodude as a first stage pokemon is really good in yellow. I'm glad that Geodude got better results than before,and it even got a better ranking than Ryhorn did . Which leads to a conclusion that better level up moves and better growth rate can lead to better results in a solo run.😊

The reason Raticate and Fearow (and Rattata in Yellow, he ditches it after the S.S. Anne) get the boot is simple, and has nothing to do with them dying. Look at the rival's final team compositions, particularly in Red/Blue. Pidgeot, Alakazam, Rhydon, Gyarados, Exeggutor, Arcanine, and the starters. What do these Pokemon have in common? They all have high Base Stat Totals, all among, if not atop their main type. He's less strict in Yellow, but Fearow (381) and Raticate (343) are still a bit lower than anything that can pop on his final team (Magneton, 395). It's basically showing through gameplay that he cares more about winning than bonding with his Pokemon, and once it's clear they don't meet his standards, it's off to the box for them. It's why Oak tells the rival that he 'has forgotten to treat his Pokemon with trust and love', and only that. After all, if the rival really had gotten his Pokemon killed, wouldn't his grandfather, a man who decided to study Pokemon as a profession (which he absolutely wouldn't do if he didn't love them a good deal), be just a tad more upset towards him than a short scolding? Well, that's my two Pokedollars, anyway.

You really undersold Geodude's incredible level-up moveset I think in the Rhyhorn comparison. Rhyhorn has better stats, but an awful growth rate, and an even worse level-up set. Geodude learns Earthquake at 31 which is... amazing. Rhyhorn doesn't get it until Silph Co. This basically means the stat difference doesn't matter (admittedly it isn't very big, and does a bit more HP matter when only 4x effective Special attacks are what get you, anyway?), it's firing off arguably the strongest physical attack in the game (except a Normal-type using Hyper Beam) every turn (except for Flying-types) from 31 onward. Great runs.

Do remember that in generation 1 Dig is available just outside Cerulean and it has the same base power as Earthquake. Of course it takes a little longer in battle but the time is not double just because less frames are required for each turn of dig in comparison to a single turn of Earthquake.

Rock/Ground may be ass defensively, but it's a great offensive combination.
