But it makes AI sound stupider, so they went with it. Anyway outside gaming circles, a lot of normals still think all video games are for children.

I’m not entirely sure “made for 5 years olds” is accurate. I had the game around that age and certainly couldn’t beat it either.

The moveset of opposing Pokémon is quite limited and the AI is even worse. There’s really no strategy by the AI to actually win battles, so I’d say the real challenge was finding out where to go and what to do.

I only beat it at ~10yo because I knew how to read walkthroughs, which is what finally led me to enter Saffron. At no point I thought that one of the purchasable drinks from a vending machine could be used to “bribe” the guard on the entrance, I always thought it was some special item somewhere (which became the case in the FR/LG remakes) or some other event.
