The start of my favorite gaming franchise of ALL TIME. The first generation of Pokémon was a complete phenomenom, as it introduced to the world the creativity that was present in Game Freak and Nintendo. The original 151 Pokémon, the rivals Red and Blue, Team Rocket, Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and many others first appeared in this one.
However, many people say that this is the all-time best generation that Pokémon presented thus far, and I beg to differ. Although this gen is REVOLUTIONARY, it has many problems. The opposing Pokémon's AI is malfunctioning, tons of glitches and programming errors are presented in this gen, the story is not nearly as interesting as the other gens are, the possibility of a Pokémon skipping levels and not being able to learn a move is very concerning, and etc.
Aside from the problems, it's still a good game, as it started everything we know today, of course. However, all of the next gens in my opinion improved significantly on what Pokémon can be (remakes included), so the first gen in my opinion, although very important and good, fall behind on the level of content quality of later games.
