Every gen has good and bad. The difference is you weren't a kid when the later gens came out.

Even as far as Gen 6, you have this cool thing, a poison/dragon type based on a leafy seadragon

Whereas in gen 1 you had... an angry duck with a stick.... a generic clown that's for some reason called Mr. Mime.... whatever the fuck Jynx is. Hell, if Dragonite came out in gen 5, you'd think he looked stupid. Most of the pokemon in gen 1 were barely even usable because the game mechanics made it so that most pokemon didn't even have access to proper attacks of their type, or were ineffective with them because their stats weren't suited to the type they were, making them seem even more useless and lame.
