    this is an interesting hypothesis: that the designers of pokémon had, as a design model to some extent, JRPGs where you have regular physical attacks as workhorse moves and then big flashy special magic attacks that you use occasionally, and that this explains some design decisions.

    i'm not sure i agree with this just yet.

    With gen 1 it's hard to tell what's intentional result, what's a bug, what's an oversight and what's an unintended side effect, but even then I have a hard time imagining that they'd have so many moves like Ember or Razor Leaf (critical bug or not) with similar PP to the other stuff and not expect the player to spam them at least as often as the others.

    Edit: Also TIL the Goldeen line are supposed to be koi fish, I always assumed they were goldfish, but I guess it makes more sense that way.
