Pokémon Red. My first Pokémon game. I discovered you don’t have to use multiple Pokémon. Fuck type advantage. Fuck building a whole team. Charizard is my full team. I was like 9 years old.

Using only my starting Charizard for battles I beat the entire game. Slash is a guaranteed crit if you have higher speed than the opponent in gen 1. So you basically just hella over level charizard and slash everything to death in one hit.

The other moves barely matter but I did flamethrower as well for things that had high defense and low special.

The other Pokémon in the party are just HM slaves for cut/flash/surf/etc. They literally don’t matter for anything else because the charizard almost never died and if it did you just heal it up while some of the shitty pokemon get one shot. Whatever lol

Well most games I play I end up finding at least one exploitable bug/glitch. Mainly item duping kind of stuff.

Mechwarrior 2 you could jump jet forward and then shutdown your mech but you’ll keep moving forward (no longer using jump jet fuel nor generating heat). This also allowed you to clip through terrain and enemies would ignore you mostly.

Fallout. I would pickpocket the gamblers at Gizmo’s casino, reloading when I got caught. This reset everybody’s inventory, so you could (gradually) get unlimited caps

I did not discover it but its the exploit I abused way too much. Collectors map from GitHub for RDR2 back when you knew the location of every trinket every rotation. I spent 2-3h every day for a week if not more collecting every single flower,tarot card etc… in the end I purchased pretty much everything there was to buy in game and still have some money to spare
