A great classic, glitchy but great.
I started Pokémon with the newer games (ORAS, SM/USUM) I decided to go see what the first games were like. The graphics look like what I think of the first Pokémon games. It’s very glitchy; but that helps its charm! It has introduced Pokémon that are considered staple to the series, (Charizard, Slowbro, Mewtwo, Pikachu, etc). If you are looking to start Pokémon; but don’t want any new gimmicks (Z-Moves, Dynamax, Gigantamax), and don’t care about the tone of glitches, than these the perfect Pokémon games for you! I recommend playing the 3DS Virtual Console release just so you don’t have to risk buying a bootleg/malfunctioning game or buying a broken game boy. If you want nostalgia, do the game boy route. 4/5 I highly recommend
