I don't understand the whole narrative that the gen 1 games are unplayable garbage. When I was a kid I was playing yellow on an emulator without any problems.

Kids have been told that these games are buggy messes, which isn't entirely untrue, but the nuance to it has been lost long ago.
They're buggy, but in an unintrusive way. You won't randomly find obvious bugs in them, even if it practically impossible to avoid them affecting you in some way.

They’re boring glitchfests. Not worth playing at all.

>b-b-but they’re not glitchy that’s just a zoomer meme! You can play without seeing any glitches!
It is literally, LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE to play these games “without encountering a glitch”.

The intro, the INTRODUCTION OF THE GAME, plays the WRONG POKÉMON’S CRY.

Fun is made by the game and your brain. The game hasn't changed so if you found it fun in the 90s but don't now then it must be because your brain changed.
Therefore instead of saying the game is bad you should say your brain is bad.

There are no game ruining glitches you will accidentally stumble on. Who cares if one pokemon has the wrong cry or if you can fish in the gym statues. I think the gen 3 remakes are better but its not because gen 1 is "glitchy"

or maybe because as a kid you don't have any standards because every form of entertainment is new so when you get older you can look back and see what you used to like wasn't that good. but you're retarded so you won't be able to comprehend that because admitting genwun isn't good hurts your fragile autistic attachment to this franchise

If you're going to be that pedantic about it, then you're wrong anyways, as you can't see the cry of a Pokemon.
You know full well that the argument is that while you will encounter glitches, they won't be particularly noticeable. Most people won't realize the intro plays the wrong cry, and even if it does, it's a minor thing that doesn't affect your gameplay experience.
Meanwhile gameplay shit like Focus Energy etc. not working properly is not something you'll really figure out playing the game normally.

Back in the days of yore, Gen 1 was part of Pokemania. Anything with any hint of Pokemon branding was amazing and excellent, and an entire video game where you were a Pokemon trainer was akin to a religious experience. After literal decades of Pokemon exposure and weariness, it's just a game. I don't dislike the Gen 1 games and they're certainly better than a large percentage of the Game Boy catalogue, but it is intellectually dishonest for anyone to say that they are good or well-made Pokemon games now that there are so many others to compare them to.

It’s all about context. They are dated now but in their day they were revolutionary. Zoomers and Aoomers never lived in Pokémania so they’ll never quite grasp how huge these games were at the time. Kids were sleeping in grocery stores overnight to steal Pokémon cards after the stores closed. Every school tried to ban the cards. It was insane. They didn’t live through that so these games that the old fans like me cherish just seem like fossils to them.

Without the insane success of Gen 1 games there wouldn’t be a Gen 5.

All of these glitches involved in battle were fixed in Stadium (Which is technically stadium 2, the first one didn't make it to international regions).

In terms of game design, Gens 1 and 2 have the best campaigns in the series, and it's really not even close. They were also way better at making the world feel larger than it really was, where the opposite was generally true in the newer games that I actually bothered to try out.

My favorite games over all are Emerald, Platinum, and HGSS (I know those aren't exactly hot takes), but RBGY shit all over the newer titles. The QoL stuff is definitely nice, but it's all the later games really have.

It's hardly a completely different game. Also, a game within the same gen - stadium 1 - corrected them.

With the way you hear people talk about Gen 1, you'd think that the series would be some drastic departure. Instead, the same old Gameboy formula (which was actually acceptable considering the hardware), and setting were shamelessly copied for 25 years. There's a reason you never hear Mario or Zelda fans cry about their original games. They actually respect their scope and ambition in the confines of their original hardware, and their future sequels actually iterated on their design.
