Can't even say I's recomend gen 1 at all, becouse altho I love thosd games and would pay stupid amounts of money to get it on my Switch, I think it's more to do with my nostalgia then the greatnes of the game, and not having played any others for more then an hour or so, I will let others make better suggestions. With that said, I can't say I recomend gen 1 over anything else. All the 151 original pokemon, to me, feel like they are quite uniqe from eachother, the newer ones all feel a bit samish but with different colors to point out their types. Not sure if this is becouse of nostalgia or whatever, but to this day when I see anything other then a gen 1 pokemon, I feel like yes I see it's a pokemon, but in my eyes it's just a brightly colored monster of some sort, the "original" stil feel like there is more thought behind the designs. I think mostly becouse the new pokemons felt like what today would be unlicensed reproduction, yes they are obviously pokemon, but they kinda lost their soul or something, the old ones felt more autentic. Gen 2 arrived, and I imidietly lost interest. I played red and yellow way back when, basicly grew up with it. Jokes aside, I have absolutly nothing to add to OP, sorry. What do you have against abused potatos? They need love too!
