Well you could argue Red/Blue are now pretty primitive in design.
There were no EVs, IVs, or even Special Defense. If you had an Alakazam(or god forbid, Mewtwo), you'd pretty much dominate everything in the metagame.
Meanwhile, Gen 2 added everything I mentioned Gen 1 didn't have, though admittingly Alakazam was still kinda broken, at least he could be subdued with Dark types; Heck, it's almost like they designed the Dark type to intentionally sabotage Alakazam.
Gen 1 was perfected when it was remade in FireRed and LeafGreen, though they made some little changes that really grind my gears... like how you can't skip straight to Saffron as quickly as you could in Red/Blue. >:/
