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?

Honestly, not really. If you want to play the original you should try FireRed or Leaf Green instead. Or if you want more Pokémon SoulSilver and Heart Gold because the original Kanto region is also included there when you finish the game

They are the remakes of gen1 and 2 on the Gba. Objectively better games in my opinion

Okay cool. I recently got a GB Pocket; I never had one as a kid. I wanted to try some stuff out that I missed on it. It sounds like the Pokemon games are better on GBA+. So I either need to get a GPA bigger than my micro or emulate them.
