Gen 1 "Features" — Preserved As-Is
The following beloved quirks remain untouched:
- Set damage moves ignore type matchups
- Critical hits ignore all stat changes
- Speed determines crit ratio and OHKO accuracy
- Special stat covers both Special Attack and Special Defense
- Binding moves fully immobilize the opponent
- Swift and Bide hit targets that are mid-Dig or mid-Fly
- Stat-boosting moves nullify status-inflicted stat drops
- Every move has a 1/256 miss chance (except Swift, Faint Attack, and Magnet Bomb)
- Hyper Beam does not recharge on a KO
- Whirlwind and Roar do nothing in trainer battles
- Leech Seed and burn damage multiply with Toxic
- You cannot paralyze a Pokémon whose type matches the move used
- The Trainer-Fly Glitch
- The Badge Boost Glitch
- Neutral hits on dual-typed Pokémon still show matchup text for one type
- HP-based moves (Counter, Recover, Substitute, etc.) are completely broken
- Entity sprites may spawn or pathfind into impossible locations
- Freeze status is indefinite (definitely needs fixing…)
- The Cinnabar East Shore reads arbitrary code as encounter data (which is now a whole different kind of broken)
- TMs don't display move names
Miscellaneous Changes
- All Pokémon made available in each version (rarity varies by version and route)
- Every TM available for purchase at various Marts
- Jynx's face has been changed
- Focus Energy hopefully fixed
- Move Deleter and Move Relearner added
