As JRPG Gameboy titles without the context of Pokemania, the Gen 1 games are fine. I think they were solid for what they were. But anything post-Gen 6 is garbage compared to other JRPGs in the last 25 years.
Gen 1 can be forgiven for dealing with the limitations of the Gameboy and GF being a start-up at the time, today they just cashing in on recycling concepts while making the world-building way more compressed on more advanced hardware.
Whatever how glitchy and empty Gen 1 tends to be it did its job for being a niche monster-collecting game, only if Pokemon remained that way.
