Are the original Pokemon games worth a visit? (self.retro_gaming)

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?

In the original games you can't run, the battle system is not as polished as the newer entries, your inventory is way limited, to the point you won't be able to pick up things unless you get rid of stuff first, and even your PC is limited so you need to ration stuff, those are some that come at the top of my mind.

Okay, that makes sense why you say QOL is missing then. haha
