Which means in Gen1 there's no reason not to have a party of Pokemon that all have Hyper Beam.

Yes, but you can also give Mewtwo Hyper Beam because Mewtwo has stupidly high Attack as well as Special.

Back when I played Red/Blue my Mewtwo's attacks were Psychic/Hyper Beam/Amnesia and another skill that I'm sure I never ever ever used.

Hmm are the EXP levels the same for all pokemon?

No, there are multiple EXP models that take anywhere from 600,000 to 1,600,000 experience to reach level 100. Determined by species.

The really dickish ones aren't introduced until third gen though.

Recover, son. Not that anything's going to touch Mewtwo but having a way to heal ensures the pain train keeps coming.

Pokemon Damage Calculator

+6 Mewtwo Psychic vs. Chansey: 314-369 (44.6 - 52.4%) -- 20.2% chance to 2HKO

Remember folks, that's the best case scenario for a Mewtwo opponent, something like a Blastoise or (christ help you) a Venusaur is eating triple their max HP in damage

Oh, that makes sense. How boring. I wanted to see Anarchy struggle for a couple days before democracy kicked in.
Safari Zone would have been the one entertaing time to watch Twitch randomly bug out in the middle of the game. It's immediately Democracy'd after 15 minutes, and after people keep fighting back and forth, Anarchy decides to just give up. I stopped watching when I realized that Democracy wasn't going to quit no matter what and eventually Anarchy gave up because even though they were the majority, people wouldn't quit spamming Democracy.

RBY Mewtwo is quite possibly the most broken thing I've ever seen in any PVP game ever and the sole counter was "pray you can paralyze it or put it to sleep before it goes full Saiyan and one- or two-shots your entire team"

Yeah, I remember Mewtwo with Amnesia, Psychic, Rest, and Ice Beam requiring half your team being designed specifically to even have a chance to counter it. Mewtwo in Gen 1 was the most retarded unfair thing your opponent could throw out at you.

So of course one of my schoolfriends borrowed a gameboy and gave himself a second one with another copy of the game he had gotten through shady schoolground business :v:

Another strategy was to send out Articuno, use Ice Beam/Blizzard and go for the Freeze.

To be honest I think he should be that strong. He is loving Mewtwo after all. The legendaries that we have currently are a joke, they should all be made stronger to reflect their status. :colbert:

If you took the name ♀♀D, the Missingno. glitch would give you level 245 Mewtwo. The first kid to work that out dominated all Pokémon on the playground, because of course nothing stopped you from entering glitched Pokémon in trainer battles.

Trade a Shiny from Gold/Silver to Gen 1, then have a Ditto or Missingno. transform into it to become shiny when traded into gen 2. There was also a way to get whatever you wanted with the Mew glitch by getting a Ditto to transform.

All I know about the later gen PvP is that 1 HP magikarp can sweep entire teams of legendaries with Flail, which is extremely funny to me.

You're right, tiers should be even more divided and casual play without strict rules about what you can use should be even less fun.

Just make the stats higher of the already restricted legendaries. They are the most unique ones anayway and could really be buffed in power. Make them as strong as the RYB Mewtwo, a true legendary.

Don't hate on tiers man, NU and UU are amazing and incredible and I am endlessly thankful that they exist. They let me use Pokemon I really like, such as Dunsparce and Vileplume and Lickylicky, and not worry about getting my poo poo pushed in (as much).

I have to admit, I kinda miss the Gen 1 and 2 metagaming that could lead to things like teaching an Espeon Surf or going into battle with a team of all level 255 Golduck.
