They make Bethesda games look competently made in comparison, they are full of programming errors, bugs, ugly as fuck sprites that don't match the original artwork, a garbage level curve due to the more open nature of the game, and also invented the exploitative practice of splitting pokemon between games.
Gen 1 of pokemon is objectively bad game design full of flaws and bad intentional choices, entirely upon its own merits, and with two superior remakes (FRLG and LGPE) in existence gen 1 has no place being played in 2023. The only people who would defend gen 1 are retarded 30-somethings (for the record, I am 30 and Blue was my first pokemon game) who refuse to let go of the past in favor of a superior, more advanced, higher quality future. The past was no in fact better, it was worse, objectively, on a global scale.
