"Modern games ship with so many bugs, I miss classic games that just worked"
modern games: ship on a bunch of consoles and storefronts, all with their own quirks
retro games: ship on one system only, featuring a bunch of "speedrun tricks"

without a TAS run or severe overlevelling, it is basically impossible to play pokemon red or blue without encountering at least one bug - both the badge boost glitch and the super effective text glitch are basically 100% guaranteed in an average playthrough. you just don't fully notice they're happening
it can be argued that perhaps publishers take less care than they used to now that day 1 patches are an option vs. having to get all carts reprinted
but stuff would still get flagged as WONTFIX
