Gen 1 gets a lot of flack nowadays, but the simplicity of it makes for an easy knock-out.
I don't recall it being much of a challenge past the 2nd gym, but I do appreciate that this was back in the day where there was no full-team Exp Share shenanigans. Kanto also holds most of my favourite Pokemon, so it wasn't too hard to fill out a somewhat rounded 6 mon team.
My team at the Elite 4 was:
- Charizard
- Jolteon
- Poliwrath
- Nidoking
- Fearow
- Snorlax
Didn't bother filling out the Pokedex or catching Mewtwo.
