unfriendly reminder: in Pokemon Gen 1, you had to open your pause menu, then the pokemon menu, then the pokemon options sub-menu before you could use an HM. you couldn’t just walk up to a tree and press a to cut it. you had to select an option in your pause menu that was in a sub-sub menu.
not to be impolite, but hell no the fuck we didn’t
I started with gen 3 and playing the virtual console version of Yellow was ANNOYING because of this.
