a great game in that it started the pokémon franchise, but as a game on its own it’s not the greatest. it’s extremely glitchy(which in itself is a bit of an appeal due to how infamous and intricate they are), don’t have many of the quality of life features future games had(such as special physical move split of gen 4 or actual ghost type moves[let alone ones that properly worked on psychic types]). if you want to get into the pokémon franchise, it’s better to start with a later game, such as platinum or emerald. you can play the games later on if you like, but considering gen one has not one but TWO different remakes, you don’t really need to play it aside from a cool perspective of how pokémon used to be

a great game that i unfortunately haven’t finished yet as of writing this review(however i am like three levels away from completion) due to this game ending up becoming a trigger due to a messy relationship being heavily associated with the game in my mind. i’ve started playing it again though, and it is a wonderful mind challenger that’s extremely funny and witty, and characters who drive the narrative
edit: as of writing, i’ve finished portal 2. Absolutely wonderful game

one of my, if not my favorite game of all time. the ending song still fucks me up hearing it. the pixel art is gorgeous, the general visuals and vhs aesthetic leans into its non linear and purposefully confusing story that can be open to lots of interpretation. for example, what the hell is up with the phone calls? or jacket appearing in people’s visions as if he was a god like figure. it’s an amazing game series everyone needs to experience at least once
