The original first-generation games had some game balance issues, mainly due to the limited variety of Pokémon type combinations and movesets. Those that were eventually fixed in [[Generation II]] (and are thus exclusive to Generation I) were:
* {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon having virtually no match, due to their moves being resisted by no types other than itself, and their only weakness being Bug (that had only three damaging moves, {{m|Leech Life}}, {{m|Pin Missile}}, and {{m|Twineedle}}). This made it easy for the player to catch a {{p|Drowzee}} or {{p|Abra}} relatively early into the game, evolve it and teach it the move {{m|Psychic}}, allowing it to easily defeat any opponent bar Sabrina.
