I think RBY are just archaic games. Their graphics and gameplay are either too simply or too rough. Because of that, they are less enjoyable to play for many people.
Some mechanics are fun in-game and I like them (e.g. Special being one stat). On the other hands, some mechanics can go fuck themselves (e.g. sleep and wrap).
But hey, Gen 1 still has better spin-offs than gen 6 (excluding PSMD).
