Hidden Power is always neutral in GSC. I've had people saying it worked well yesterday, but it does not work for me. I'll post a log or something when I get one.
Ban it anyway, that shit's gay af.
and it's been banned ever since season 11 of smogon tour aka modern adv so get rid of that garbage
No, that's wrong, in gen 4 there's no recoil if you hit a substitutein gen 4, when you hit a substitute with a life orb user, there isn't any recoil while there should be.
oh damn nvm. i was pretty sure that pokemon platinum has changed this mecanic but it was with black & white u.uNo, that's wrong, in gen 4 there's no recoil if you hit a substitute
In generation 2, Gligar can't learn earthquake despite being able to obtain a Gligar with earthquake in pokemon stadium 2.
Fixed all learnset issues in gens 1 and 2.
Stomp + Sleep Powder is allowed on RBY Exeggutor on PS; this is wrong. See here for other illegal movesets in RBY. I checked a couple of those others and they weren't banned either.
Also, critical hits STILL HAVE NOT been fixed in RBY; they should bypass Reflect and Light Screen. This really matters, since it is crucial to defeating the common Reflect Alakazam and the slightly less common Reflect Chansey.
And Counter still HAS NOT been fixed; it is bugged in RBY so that it can counter previously used moves as long as the opponent has not used PP on that turn (e.g. in the situation t1 Hyper Beam, Counter, t2 recharge, Counter, t3 switch, Counter, t4 full paralysis, Counter then all four Counters should succeed for identical damage). On Showdown this does not work properly (it fails on recharge, switch, and full paralysis - I haven't tested sleep since it's tricky to set up but I suspect it fails there too).
These need to be fixed if Showdown is going to have a credible RBY ladder and be a credible place to hold RBY tournaments.
I was not aware of this. I was specifically referring to event moves and such. Thanks for pointing this out.

EDIT: might not be a full list, but it's a start.
