    I'm aware of how useful fly is, but I tried playing a Pokémon game without fly once, and it was honestly really fun. I really felt like I was exploring a region, because I would always have to go through routes multiple times, and was forced to really learn where I was going. It didn't feel all that tedious either, though that may have just been me, and I'm sure that other people would find it absolutely infuriating.

    6:36 I would argue Dodrio is better. You get it around fly, it can learn Tri Attack which is very good for normal coverage, it can get drill peak as well and it has 20 more points in attack with barely any state of Ferrows being better and if they are it's by 5 points. Also while level 31 might be rough let me remind you that Dodo can learn fly to so yeah I would say Dodrio is a way better option especially if you have an electric type already like you would in yellow.

      Gale Wings is it’s hidden ability so you have to spend a bunch of time trying to get it which is even less convenient that friendship for Crobat.

    PS: Why wasn't Dodrio even mentioned in Gen I... it has 20 more Attack BST and is catchable in the EXACT SAME ROUTE you get Fly. The only downside is you only get it then while Spearow is very early game, but Spearow isn't particularly useful against the gyms prior

    "one of the many oversights in the original games"
    Honestly, charizard not being able to learn fly is the least if gen 1's worries. It can't even learn any flying moves in gen 1 and 2.

    I use my Latias for fly in my first game - Alpha Sapphire. I don't actually remember if I got it early enough or what I used before if not, but yeah. I know I don't need fly to fly on her, and while that is fun and gets me other places fly can't, fly is quicker and easier.

    I remember when some of my neighbours and friends, with gameboy devices, taught powerful pokémon HM moves. I wasn't in favour of this at all knowing they couldn't be forgotten by normal means. Aerodactyl and Pidgeot are my main flyers. They also use Fly in battles is their one of their main moves (only other STAB besides Double-Edge).

      Honestly Aerodactyl needs more flying type moves. I had to teach mine fly because it couldn't learn acrobatics or brave bird, or even air slash
