Line 66:
** Due to a programming oversight (No Pokémon in the first games was given a gender except for the main character), moves that caused the Infatuation status (Attract and the ability Cute Charm, at that time) were absurdly powerful, basically being a nigh-effortless way to ensure that enemies almost never got a chance to attack you. Not to mention the [[Unfortunate Implications]] of [[Ho Yay|making]] [[Foe Yay|everybody]] [[Anything That Moves|fall]] [[Everyone Is Bi|in love]] [[Suddenly Sexuality|with you]]...
** Due to the special properties of the Pokémon Castform and its signature move Weather Ball, a single Castform could do enough damage to KO any non-boss Pokémon in a single hit at low-to-middle levels, and at high levels, could even do the same to any boss Pokémon that didn't resist Fire or Water. This was only minorly [[Nerf|Nerfed]] in the ''Explorers'' games; Castform now has a 'size' of 4, meaning only one can be on a party and at the expense of another Pokémon, but most normal dungeons don't need more than the single Castform at one time anyway.
** Upon maxing their IQ (the ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon'' equivalent of 'Happiness', boosted by eating Gummi items), some Pokémon acquired the ability "Super Mobile", which allowed them to travel over water, lava, clouds, and even allowed them to bash through walls to make their own path with absolutely no penalty. In a [[Roguelike]] game, this naturally causes most of the difficulty to soar right out the window. In the ''Explorers'' games, this ability was severely restricted to a single legendary Pokémon, Palkia, whom you can only obtain ''after'' the game's storyline, making it more of a [[Bragging Rights Reward]].
** Speaking of ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]''... X-Eye Seeds snap boss battles right in two. The AI will ''never'' attack while under this effect, unlike during Confusion, and Crosseyed status probably lasts the longest of any adverse status effect short of stat drops. [[Mushroom Samba|Eating an X-Eye Seed reveals that they cause the victim to hallucinate that everything looks like a Substitute.]]
** Also, several IQ skills on the right IQ groups to boost HP, PP, and other stats could be further combined with Three-Star "Exclusive Items" that buffed a particular Pokémon each (generally giving them Absorption against a type they're usually weak against, or putting them in permanent Light Screen/Reflect status). Not only that, but the effects of those items are ''shared among all Pokémon belonging to the same evolutionary branch!'' So for instance, Pokémon like Gallade, Hitmonchan, Vileplume or Politoed could not only gain the buffs of their former evolutions, but also those of their counterpart(s), for a total of 4 buffs. And the Eevee family...
