Liquid Halo, Apr 18: There were a couple that I tried in Gen 1 more because I wanted them to be real than having believed them to be. 1. Talking to the fisherman who gives out the Super Rod 101 times gets an Ultra Rod from him that is capable of fishing up an HM...

the 1/256 glitch

Liquid Halo, Apr 14: If this ever affected me I was never aware as: 1. I'd never heard of it until now and 2. I didn't understand the mechanics back when I played Gen 1 nor did I care to. I just wanted to catch Pokemon like my best friend.

LordWayback, Apr 12: Looking at a direct rip it isn’t 100% storage issues on the cartridge it probably doesn’t have to do with storage (they compressed a 1,028~KB raw rom onto a 8MB cartridge (as of GBC)) so it must have to do with limitations of how expensive music is...

"Bill's Garden"

DragonKing48, Apr 2020: Possibly...basically were going to the original "Mythical " pokemon, except they'd be in game, take legitimately 2 or 3 real times to get to, and if you failed the catch, they're gone. No 2nd chance-ever.

You had to save the game before switching boxes.

You can enter the safari zone for free
