I personally like Gen 1 the best, but that's mostly because I started with that/nostalgia/I didn't actually play the middle games (I played through silver/gold, and picked it back up at White 2). However, I can also say that in regards to design/programming, Gen 1 is also the worst.

Karrablast, Grubbin, Foongus, Alolan Vulpix, the entire Snivy line, Roggenrola line, the Sewaddle line, whimsicott/lilligant, the solosis line, Emolga, Shelmet, Joltik, Tynamo, litwick, axew, larvestaline, fennekin line, fletchling line, Espurr/Meowstic, the gen 6 fossils, Goomy line <3, rowlet + decidueye, primarina, cutiefly line, dewpider/araquanid, Morelull, Fomantis, Bounsweet, Mimikyu and Tapu Koko are ALL greats of the series.
I mean, Gen 2 has all of Gen 1 in it as postgame content and has one of the best 8-gym sequences, so voting Gen 1 is basically saying "my nostalgia goggles control my higher thought functions"

WHERE AUDINO
on one hand, audino is underrated
on the other hand, it's still an ugly pink rabbit.

But in Gen 2 you can't sweep the entire game with an Alakazam!

Pretty much
Gen I is impressive on a technical level as nothing like that had been done before, admittedly, but that's offset by the myriad of issues with glitches, bad balancing, and so on.
Its normal for games to improve on themselves. Often the newest version of a game franchise will be the best (though certainly not always). With that said you have to ask what innovations the game made when comparing them, not just it's absolute value. In when looking like that I think nothing comes close to gen 1. Other gens fixed balance issues and were less glitchy. So what. They also basically just re offered the exact same play experience.
I am going to be that guy but by what metric we qualifiying for "best"
Like best Pokémon?
Best gameplay?
Best innovation?
Best experience/memories?
Best story?

Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.
I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?
