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?
