Gen 1 sucks ass for several reasons.
1. There is very little customization. No Hidden Power, no IVs, no EVs, no held items, no abilities, nothin'. Even moveset "customization" is a meme since most Pokemon have like 3 - 6 good moves.
2. RNG is fucking evil. Freeze is effectively a OHKO in the gen since no one runs Fire types. Partial Trapping Moves can eat 30+ turns of your time with nothing you can do with no lefties to heal off the damage. Paralysis is everywhere. Sleep is everywhere. Crits are as common as 40% because speed affects crits. It's genuinely awful.
3. Pokemon variety is incredibly minimal. You have a pool of 6 auto-includes that you can at most skip 2 of or you're throwing the game. Not running Tauros is like not running Snorlax in Gen 2 or Tyranitar in Gen 3. Exeggutor ruins games with its sleep + boom. Chansey is an offensive threat, both offensive to the senses and offensive in that it can actually shit out damage because no Special Split. Alakazam is just a stat stick with T Wave and Recover. Snorlax is Snorlax. I hate them all.
4. Outside of the auto-includes, you HAVE TO run a Zapdos check or you lose to Zapdos, but there's literally nothing Zapdos can do to Rhydon or Golem, so if you include a Zapdos counter you just switch it in whenever Zapdos is out without any thought.
5. I just really hate Exeggutor.
Gen 2 is obviously one of the worst metas ever, I don't think I need to elaborate on why the slowest meta of all time, a meta slower than fucking CROWN TUNDRA GEN 8 by average turn count, is terrible.
