I have googled for this, but can't really put the proper terms to find an answer.
At the initial release of Pokémon Go, how many Pokémon were available? I seem to remember legendaries like Mew and Mewtwo were not, at least, but I can't confirm this.

Coming back to this, I realized that the answer I linked to in my question has since been updated to answer my question as well. I'll echo @Joakim Isoaho's answer here:
Through testing on the subreddit /r/TheSilphRoad, the answers to 1 and 2 are:
- It uses a modified 6th Gen chart as evidenced by the Fairy and Steel types.
- There are no 4x or 0x attacks, so Ground can hit Flying, and Normal can hit Ghost etc. -Values have been changed: -2x --> 1.25x -1/2x --> 0.85x As for 3, Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB) has been found in the game files to be 1.25x as well.
So, no, type [dis]advantages are not compounded. An Ice-type attack against a Dragonite (dragon/flying) gets the same bonus that it does against a Fearow (normal/flying).

Yes, there were no Mew / Mewtwo, or any other Legendary Pokémon, and Ditto weren't available (so there were only 145 Pokémons): Here's list of the Pokémons that were available at launch.
