What was the counter to psychic pokemon in Gen 1, anyway?
I mean, I typically just used the missingno glitch to get all my pokemon to lvl 100, so I was able to just brute force everything.

1) The first 3 Splinter Cell games are far and away the best work Ubisoft has done and Splinter Cell in general should be mentioned much, much more in other people's "Favorite/Best games" lists
2) GM Connected was the greatest game mode in sport's game history and the fact that EA didn't fix the bugs/let it die is criminal
3) If you're old enough to drive, you're too old to be playing Pokémon...you creepy jerk
4) The combat mechanics (minuscule "x" as a crosshair) of Fallout/Skyrim make the games extremely uninteresting to me

even in some of the later games Kadabra and Alakazam still had insanely high special atk and could pretty much one shot pokemon of equal level

Bug and Ghost.
Unfortunately, neither had very many moves, and the Ghost types at the time were all Poison as well making them weak to Psychic.

It wasn't pretty but such a better fighting game. Moves felt realistic, felt like they had weight and momentum. Heck I'll put Samurai Showdown ahead of Mortal Kombat.

because it didn't look like ****?

That was the first Virtua Fighter, in a way comparable to Street Fighter 1. Virtua Fighter 2 came out only a year later and was much more polished:
I never thought of Virtua Fighter as competition for Mortal Kombat though. It was more Street Fighter 2 vs MK, and VF vs Tekken (and Tekken wasn't any good until Tekken 3).
But yeah anyways back to the point, Mortal Kombat was kind of crappy. I mean every character has the same basic move set, with only special attacks being different. It also wasn't nearly as fluid as the competition. Only thing it had going for it was the violent finishing moves which made every male teenager want to play it.

Mortal Kombat in arcades drew in a more mainstream audience who didn't actually know/give a **** about fighting games thanks to all the angry soccer mom media coverage it got.
Most fighting games with legit arcade releases were better than MK. Most fighting games now are still better. Only thing I would put MK2 and 3 over in arcades was the first KI, but even that is better these days.

The point of Mortal Kombat was never to be a super-strategic fighting game. The point was to rip someone's spine out and beat them to death with it because it was ****ing cool.
If you really enjoyed fighting games you went elsewhere

Tekken 2 was fantastic.

Actually in gen 1 Psychic types are only weak to Bug and are immune to Ghost moves entirely.

Which was a bug as well. Gen 2 fixed all that and also introduced the two best Eevee evolutions.

Here is one that is sure to ruffle a few feathers, but is 100% spot on:
If you know how to actually use him properly, Vega is *BY FAR* the most over powered character in pretty much every Street Fighter game ever made.

Other psychic pokemon
There weren't any damaging Ghost-type moves in Gen 1 outside of Night Shade, which only did damage based on your level anyway, so it was moot.

Another unpopular gaming opinion I have:
I think Majora's Mask is the far superior game to OOT. OOT was just by-the-numbers and didn't really innovate as much as people think.

Liking MM is a better game isn't crazy.
Thinking OoT didn't innovate is absolute crazy talk. Game was extremely innovative for the entire 3D adventure genre.

And it was ineffective against psychics in gen 1 because of a bug. Bugs were the only type counter for psychics in gen 1 but there weren't any good bug types.
Why we got the dark type so quickly.
