The only reason I rate it so high is because the glitches on this game are super fun and there are many you can do with little effort, and you can get started much faster than Red/Blue. I probably wouldn't recommend this to anyone though unless you want to tear this game apart and have a team full of the video game equivalent to eldritch abominations.

Pikachu following you is also cute and a nice little touch through the game. It's really not that bad given the hardware limitations but as far as vanilla game goes then GSC would be a better play, but this is also the game that has a glitch Pokemon you can use to turn other Pokemon into hybrids and has multiple glitch Pokemon with a move that is a destroy the game button.
