Still like the old games?

I wouldn't say it's the best generation. As you say, it's deeply flawed.
But it was the genesis of the franchise, a global phenomenon and still fun to this day.
I think genwunners have done a lot of damage to the games' reputation, unfortunately. Many newer fans seem to believe that the love for the games is only nostalgia.

Generation 1 wasn't necessarily flawed but a game that was "incomplete". Many Pokémon that ended up being in Generation 2 are in Gen 1's code(Hexidecimal list) and if caught on Red/Blue/Yellow as Missingno and promptly traded to Generation 2 will appear as the Pokémon indicated. It's why I consider Generation 2 to be what Generation 1 ought to have been from the get-go.
Admittedly when Let's GO Pikachu/Eevee were under development, I had hope that they would create a Generation 2 style game but in reverse. Namely you start in Kanto and then visit Johto in the post-game. Would have allowed for many Evolutions like Steelix and Scizor that would have expanded the Steel Type options and would have been an interesting experience to battle the Johto Gym Leaders with a complete team as opposed to the rematch function in HG/SS. Plus I was looking forward to the Fairy Type in Johto region for a change but never got the opportunity. One can dream as they say.

As someone who has been advocating for gen 1...
Gen 1 was severely, profoundly flawed and riddled with bugs.
There are meme images floating around with all kinds of colourful language documenting the games' flaws.
But it was a passion project developed by gaming fans who taught themselves coding. It is a phenomenal underdog story. The game being glitchy is forgivable.
Now the developers of the highest grossing media franchise on the planet releasing a buggy game... That is less forgivable.

I like the old games more than the new games, especially gen 3. I dont really like the new ones because of the way they're reusing old pokemon ideas, like wiglett and toadscool and stuff like that

I mean they have been doing that since Gen 2 with the baby Pokemon and added evolutions, it's not new, in fact I would say it's the most notorious in Gen 2 where the region relies so heavily on the previous game. I would say with modern pokemon they aren't reusing old ideas but expanding on the better ideas while adding new ideas and creating something unique.

A lot of comments here so far…nice. Though I couldn't reply to any since I had to be offline for a while, but I'm here again now.
