I think ember helps, especially when you press B really hard so that it does more damage (also increases odds of inflicting burn status)

But my first time playing pokemon, I kept losing to misty, was stuck on her forever. Tried every strategy I could think of (which isn't a lot) and one time I got close with an ekans using wrap on her.

Because of her I realized that overleveling makes the game breezy. When my charmeleon learned slash... it was like goku coming out of the hyperbolic time chamber. I came back to the gym strutting the whole way. Slash is always a critical hit in gen 1, and it remained my favorite move of all time (little did I know that in only 3 meager levels, I was about to receive the greatest pokemon of all)
