Are the original Pokemon games worth a visit? (discuss.online)

I didn't have a Gameboy until I was... too late.

Are the original Pokemon games worth visiting for the first time? I know there is some nostalgic reasoning to play them, but should I try it as someone who hasn't ever played one?

Have any of you done this?

Yes but you need to expect a very unpolished game with interesting graphics, lack of balance and lots of bugs hiding behind the scenes.

In return, you get a very fast-paced, uncomplicated catcher RPG with a great soundtrack, memorable characters, really fun mechanics, a nicely-sized world for the console's capabilities, and a lot of history.

If you buy a physical cartridge, get the battery changed in it before getting started, that was how the game was saved and you'll lose your save with a dead battery.

Thanks for the tip. Everyone else made me feel like it isn’t a great choice to play. I should skip to something newer.
