Mechanically and graphically, it's hard to say the first generation is the best. The engine is held together with tape - cramming this amount of gameplay into such a small amount of space was quite a technical feat, and in doing so, GameFreak made a game with amazing glitch potential. The graphics are also limited - for example, the 151 Pokemon are represented by only a handful of sprites.
However, there are many reasons why the older Pokemon games are often more enjoyable than the newer ones. The gameplay is simpler, and the story doesn't take itself very seriously. That can be a good thing! The first generation has some of the most memorable Pokemon designs, and there's also the nostalgia factor for a lot of people. (It's also a lot of fun to exploit the game's multitude of bugs - people have used them to do some amazing things.)
