Pokemon players are very versed in this. This is why I only use 100% hit rate moves.

Not to mention Xcom.

Missing a 90% shot 3 times is so dam annoying.

In gen 1 that would be only Swift, Bide and self-targeting status moves because every 100% accuracy move can miss due to a bug (1/256). Fun fact: you would actually be able to beat the game with these 2 moves because Bide, in gen 1 only, bypasses Ghost's immunity to Normal moves.

Hot take. FireRed > Red so I never need to play gen1 even if I am feeling nostalgic.

Mechanically, the remakes are objectively the better games and they also offer more gameplay-wise with new moves, more logical movesets, abilities, nature, actual EV system. The next big improvement was the physical/special split in Gen5.

I still play the gen1 games from time to time tho. They are hilarious.
