What generation is Pokemon Red and Blue?

How does the crit rate work in Gen 1?

Speed directly affects your critical hit rate in Gen 1. The formula uses base Speed divided by 512. Fast Pokemon like Persian (115 Speed) crit nearly 27% of the time with Slash, which has a high-crit modifier. This makes Speed one of the most important stats in Red and Blue.
