Ever since "genwunners" became a thing, people overcorrected by bashing everything related to Generation 1 and acting like RBY is Superman 64.
Problem is, it's been over a decade and the pendulum has not reversed and now there's an entire generation of kids who have been taught to shit on RBY and parrot that it's "unplayable and a buggy mess" despite them not even playing it. It's made worse by the fact that many of these people who say that Gen 1 fans are just "nostalgic" tend to circlejerk their childhood games (4 or 5 most likely) it's like they have no self-awareness.
Since FRLG are Kanto games, it's guilty by association.
