There are a few Gen 3 quirks I had to take into consideration when preparing my playthrough of LeafGreen on the Switch. I knew I wanted to start with Bulbasaur, but navigating the battle mechanics of Gen 3 prior to the Physical/Special split in Gen 4 meant I needed types on my team that could deal both Physical and Special damage, and my Modest nature Bulbasaur was the perfect option for a Special Attacker. Unfortunately, one aspect of Gen 3 that I failed to consider is the drastically reduced catch rates for Legendaries, which makes adding any of the Legendary Birds to my team feel like a monumental task.
