I don't even really like MM and consider it the weakest Zelda after the NES games, but Red and Blue might have aged the worst of any console game ever. Even as a former major Pokemaniac I'd never touch Gen 1 again.

This is an intriguing stance because I don't think I ever played past gen 1. I think I had Gold or Silver but I remember nothing about it and I stopped using handhelds for a long time after the original GBA nearly blinded me with it's awful screen.
 
I voted for Majora's Mask because I like the song with the bells and the moon. Age of Empires II because its an old game, like last century old.

I had no idea that if I hijacked some wifi networks and said wololo, Bloodlines wouldn't have lost, it was only 30 votes.😔

That's genuinely insane to say. Gen 1 is still surprisingly fun. Maybe it's quaint and antiquated now but still enjoyable, far from aging worse than ANY console game EVER...

MM has that annoying time limit, which alone puts Pokemon ahead.

Do you mean Gen 1, or the remakes of Gen 1? Because actual straight up gen 1 was a text based game where you could fit like four words on screen at once, an RPG where the only viable tactic for 80% of the game is to start a battle with one Pokemon and immediately swap it out to something better, a trading game where trading is a laborious process, and a collecting game where the method of collecting is "hope you don't crit the fucking thing and instantly kill it".

Gen 2 was basically the same thing but better in every way. An exp share item that isn't broken, moves like false swipe that help the capturing process, additional types of pokeball, and so forth. The text issue isn't resolved but that's the game boy for you.

I just don't see any reason to play Red or Blue when there are so many better options, including superior versions of the same game.

Those are small problems at worst, some with work arounds.

I agree with this, gen 2 is actually my favorite.

I don't think the remakes are superior. Maybe they are objectively in some ways, such as less glitches but those gave the games personality. Maybe better graphics and music, but that's subjective and I don't actually agree, Yellow looks and sounds great. Could be nostalgia talking but I like the 8-bit look and sound.

As for gameplay, it's certainly more involved but in single player that hardly matters anyway, really, though it is significant for multiplayer.

Maybe it's because I burnt myself out on it. I caught every Pokemon including many glitch Pokemon for good measure. And I never went to any swaps or whatever. I had a couple of friends with the other color cart and we'd grind out the necessary Pokemon to trade one another. If I could catch something myself, I did. By the time my Pokedex was full I never wanted to play that game ever again.

I think the most fun I had after that point was having glitch Pokemon battles. One time my friend hit a glitch Pokemon of mine with a Horn Drill and the HP bar just kept emptying and snapping back to full over and over. We left the game boys sitting on the floor and did something else, came back and the bar was still in HP purgatory. Won't be seeing that in the modern games.

Majora's Mask get's my vote for creativity, though neither in their original incarnations have aged too well. All the Pokémons are so similar (the mainline games that is) that it's hard to say which one is best (and the competition is stiff for what is the worst), but if someone put Coliseum or XD: Gale of Darkness on the list it'd get my vote.
