Carlioo posted:Isn't this the main reason why Psychic-types are considered overpowered in Gen 1? What with them only being weak to Ghost, a Special typing, and Ghost only having two attacks, one having fixed damage. Well there's the uni-Special thing, but the bigger one is that they were inexplicably immune to the non-fixed Ghost move, and the only Ghost types had secondary Poison so all Psychic moves were super effective. (I think they were weak to Bug too but all the Bug-types had awful stats and most of them were part poison too) e: There was also a lot of perception because the strongest critter in Gen 1 (more or less objectively) was mono-Psychic but you tear that away and mechanically it's still stupid overpowered. Even Dragon was actually weak to Ice (even if its other weakness, Dragon, had all of one move that was fixed damage) e2: Yeah Mewtwo was an effective 744 stat total by the modern totaling system

They're pretty broken, but also they hold together well enough that millions of kids were able to play them the whole way through repeatedly without anything going critically wrong. By comparison, a certain AAA company is known for releasing games with nebulous bugs that can wholly prevent progress and trigger for no clear reason beyond the game decided to say "gently caress you'.

Original release of Witcher 2 on the other hand had that goddamn dragon and all the dudes and the only way past it was to totally disengage and let your immortal friends handle it, because it literally was not possible to use most of the games features because the tutorial wasn't done yet
