Wasn't fire blast a buyable TM though? Flamethrower would have been betterIt was a tm that could only be gotten after beating Blaine.
Feel like all of gen 1 is a programming oversightBadge Boost Glitch
Wasn't fire blast a buyable TM though? Flamethrower would have been betterIt was a one-time only TM. Once you taught it to a pokmon, you no longer had access to it.
Oh, I thought it was a game corner TM for some reason

It's wild how Pokemon became such a massive success when the 1st game was such a mess of programming lol.It was back during the time when no one gave a crap about glitches, so it makes sense.
It's supposed to learn Fire Blast at level 51, but a programmer made an error and accidentally had it learn Leer because their index numbers or whatever are right next to each other
Wasn't fire blast a buyable TM though? Flamethrower would have been betterFire Blast, yes. Flamethrower on the other hand, could only be put onto Moltres by trading back from Gen 2.
On the bright side I heard people eventually started using Moltres in old gens' OU.In Gen 1 Fire Spin is also involved since Burn + trapping moves are surprisingly good.
Something about having it hold charcoal and spamming Fire Blast.
Hopefully that programmer was fired and never got a job againThats a QA issue tbh
dont know why but I appreciate the pokemon lore from neonhttps://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/7/7e4905db.jpg
It feels like Gen 1 was held together with twine and chewing gum the more we learn about how al dente the spaghetti code actually was. Glad Game Freak has learned how to properly program since then.Back then, a lot of the weird coding (not this particular case which was basically the code equivalent of a typo, but speaking generally) was simply being creative in order to work within the limits of the hardware./s

Gen 1 was so buggy it's amazing these game ever got popularWe were all dumb kids that didnt know any better and it was still fun.
At least half the shit doesn't do what it's supposed to
There's all sorts of shit like that in Gen 1. Like the Toxic move messing with leech seed. And speed affecting crit rate. Also Psychic is supposed to be weak to Ghost move, but they're actually completely immune.Even if the ghost immunity was corrected, literally the only damaging ghost move is Lick. Psychics are shaking in their boots over that >_>
I'm playing Pokemon Yellow currently and honestly unless you're really paying attention to them most glitches you probably wouldn't notice on a casual playthrough. Somethings are dumb/weird/broken in retrospect but they're still playable games.

Body Slam can't paralyze Normal Pokemon.Is that intentionally hard coded in or an accident?
Is that intentionally hard coded in or an accident?Are there other Normal moves that cause paralysis in that gen?
