Does sliding on ice count as walking

As strange as it sounds, you are not the first to encounter this. Someone else posted on this forum pretty much exactly the same thing as you - a Feraligatr in Gen II that has problems being hit with paralysis.

In any case though, I have a very good feeling this is not due to degredation. Something in the back of my mind is tickling that the phrase "it doesn't effect" implies that a move that does no damage but gives a status effect has missed, whereas "it didn't effect" implies that the target is immune to the move. I'm guessing that's the best answer here, but I thought they fixed the "100%-accuracy moves are actually only 99.6% accurate" problem in Gen II.

Either way, this is a minor problem that I do not believe is indicative of any technical issues.

First of all, you mother loves you and is only doing you a favor by buying you helpful items. It's not her fault she cares. She only wants what's best for you and your pokemon.

In the original games, your kind, loving mother buys items from a set list based on how much money she has saved.

• Repel 200
• Super Potion 600
• Repel 900
• Charmander Doll 1800
• Moonstone 3000
• Clefairy Doll 4800
• Pikachu Doll 8000
• Big Snorlax 22700

In the remakes, your sweet, gentle mother will buy you an item for every 10,000 you save. Some of these are one time items and some of these are repeatable.

One Time

• Repel
• Silk Scarf
• Super Potion
• Moon Stone
• Hyper Potion
• Choice Scarf
• Muscle Band
• Focus Sash

Multiple Times

• Passho Berry
• Wacan Berry
• Rindo Berry
• Yache Berry
• Chople Berry
• Kebia Berry
• Shuca Berry
• Coba Berry
• Payapa Berry
• Tanga Berry
• Charti Berry
• Kasib Berry
• Haban Berry
• Colbur Berry
• Babiri Berry
• Chilan Berry

To collect the items she purchases, just go to any PokéMart and meet up with the delivery man in red. He will give you these items. He can only handle five items at any one time so once he reaches five items, if you have not collected them, then your mother will stop spending your money.
