The phenotypes present in the F1 generation depend on the phenotypes of the parental generation (and the environment). The F1 generation will display the dominant trait(s). For example, if T is tall and t is short, in the cross TT X tt the F1 generation will have the phenotype corresponding to the T allele (tall).
What percentage of the possible types of offspring had the same phenotype as the parents
It sounds like you're talking about Mendelian Genetics. ;-) If by hybrid pea you mean heterozygous, then you're look at two Aa genotypes, ya? So if you just set up your Punnett square... (Hopefully the formatting will hold) A a --------------------- A| AA Aa a| Aa AA So you get 2 phenotypes! 75% of the offspring will be tall plants (because AA, Aa, and Aa will all produce tall plants), and 25% of the offspring will be short plants (only AA can produce short plants). But if you think your plants are homozygous (AA), then you'll only get 1 phenotype, they'll all be just like the parent plants (tall)!
Mendel used all tall plants in his F1 experiment because that was the offspring from his cross of a pure tall plant and a pure short plant. By crossing two of the tall plants from F1, he proved that the recessive gene (t) was still present in the F1 generation, despite the phenotypes of all of these plants being tall. (The result of the F1 cross gave 3 tall plants and 1 short plant.)

The possible genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring can be determined using a Punnett square, a grid that shows the possible combinations of alleles that can result at fertilisation. The Punnett square below shows the expected genotypes of the offspring of parent pea plants that both have the genotype Rr.
Mendel Diagrams. If the offspring gets a dominate gene from both parents, the offspring will exhibit traits from the dominate gene. If the offspring gets a dominate gene from one parent and a recessive gene from another, the offspring will exhibit traits from the dominate gene. If the offspring get a recessive gene from both parents, the offspring will exhibit traits from the recessive gene.
When two true-breeding plants are crossed, only one result is possible.
Selfing, self fertilization until the offspring showed not deviation from the parental stock.

What percentage of the possible types of offspring had the same phenotype as the parents
tall; Tt or TT
Mendel studied dominant and recessive traits in pea plants and flowers that had traits that had either or phenotypes. For example, a pea plant could have round or wrinkled offspring. He would then breed the round and wrinkled together and see what happened.
P1 or parental
The second Mendelian Law is the Law of Segregation. It states that in a cross the parental traits do not merge in the first offspring generation (ie. the recessive, "weaker" trait does not disappear for good) but instead appear unchanged in the second offspring generation. For example, if you cross homozygous dwarf pea plants to homozygous tall, all members of the first offspring generation will be tall. This makes it seem as if the dwarf trait disappears, but it does not. If you inbreed the first offspring generation, you get 25% dwarf plants in the second offspring generation. So the "lost" trait reappears.
