>>36428007The glitchy mess is what makes it the most fun.
Hell, it was what really took the series beyond. If it weren't for shit like Missingno. feeling like hidden shit when you're a kid who really doesn't know how it works and then finding out there is legitimately hidden content (Mew) opening your imagination to what else might be hidden it probably would've never taken off.
Who doesn't know a totally off the wall way to supposedly get Pikablu, for example?
I'd bet on many more people knowing Gen 1 for it's glitches and supposedly hidden secrets than will have ever even played it.
Glitches in general literally sustain some YouTube channels with Pokémon being the richest goldmine that's ever existed.
