This was my first pokemon game, I borrowed it from my cousin at a sleepover and only got up to viridian forest. Years later I played it again and it was cool having all 3 starters but team building wasn't as fun like that and Pikachu was weak and the pokemon they removed from this version were some of my favorites :( Overall insanely nostalgic and really fun to relive the anime.

Dated but still pokemon

Gen 1 in general has a lot of growing pains and it definitely shows its age, but it was cool seeing the origin point of the series and how the formula started, nowadays there isn't really much reason to go back to the original games though.
