I'll start.
Gen 1 Pros:
Kicked it all off, we'd probably have spent most of the latter 90's stacking Russian blocks on those long car trips waiting for the street lights to illuminate our screens in the dark.
Some solid designs from a first iteration of an IP, Arcanine and Magneton are a couple of favourites from gen 1. We didn't have much to go on but at least it wasn't 'overly generic looking monster, clearly inspired by kaiju' that the original capsule monsters had.
Cons:
The games really aged like milk, nostalgia can just about push me through but fuck spending any serious length of time with them.
Whilst pretty much everything falls under the 'aged like milk' umbrella, a special shout out to broken or just fucked up mechanics (looking at you gen 1 misses).
