If you wanna play the Kanto games just as Pokemon games, this is it. FRLG is peak Kanto imo, it's very simple and to the point but it still captures the charm. I think the music here is some of the best from gen 1-3. The game progresses very cleanly and still has a great roster, the original 151 are still as iconic as ever. These definitely aren't a bad place to start if you wanna get into Pokemon, and are good for revisiting for the fun of it.
