The game still has 6 gen's worth of iterative improvements. Having the physical special split, abilities, etc alone puts it above gen 1, 2, and most of gen 3. It's also got a huge amount of pokemon variety, PSS is a fantastic feature, not to mention amie and super training. Team flare itself might be dumb but lysandre is a great villain relative to giovanni, archie, maxie, and cyrus, etc.
On the same token, there's zero reason Gen 1 shpouldn't be at the absolute bottom. Forget the physoical special split or abilities, it doesn't even have held items or bag pockets, the type chart is fundamentally broken, most types don't have moves over 60bp, etc.
IMO:
Platinum > Emerald > XY > Crystal > RS = GS > FRLG >>> RBY
haven't played gen 5, HGSS, ORAS, or gen 7
