yellow was the best because Pikachu was a fukin pimp who didn't need no pokeball

normies need not post on this thread ty

Platinum had the mechanic updates of gen 4 without being as much of a mess as Diamond/Pearl, its definitely my favorite. The Gen 2 remakes are also really good as well for the same reason, and they have the extra region. I have actually replayed a lot of the pokemon games, and honestly they do age decently well but I can find it in myself to admit that the new gen 6+ games are a fair bit better. That said, HG/SS and Platinum are still feel like they are the best the series has to offer. I am looking forward to when something of equivalent value comes out on modern systems.

emerald/platinum/heartgold are the only pokemon games that ive replayed multiple times

GEN 4 <3
Plat is my favourite game overall, best story, best Pokemon's, best region and the best emotional music (for me)
It's also the only Pokemon game I have played through multiple times :D

i honestly thought nobody on the planet remembered or enjoyed gen4 but now i feel genuinely happy.

I'm surprised people are ranking S/M so low. First actually good story in a Pokemon game, and also, snazzy outfits.

i think objectively platinum and the gold/silver remakes are the best pokemon games
HOWEVER black/white are the best rpg games
black/white are the only games that really go beyond just being a pokemon game and they dont get enough credit for that
i didnt like the gen 3 remakes that much cause they are imo (and never would be) as good as pokemon emerald (for a tonne of reasons but mostly due to my nostalgia towards emerald)
one of my main gripes with the new games is how the artstyle is really simple and child friendly. Its hard to be scared about a world ending threat when everything you see looks like toys that you played with when you were five. Gen 5 games are the best looking pokemon games for this reason.

Platinum and FireRed all the way

SS/HG are absolutely incredible games

also how tf can x/y be below SUMO? sumo was pretty lackluster lol

Gen 2 was way better than 3 imo

two games in one and you got follow up on what happened in gen 1

im not really a fan of the new art style where they stopped using sprites. i still think graphically platinum or hg/ss is the best

i like the pokemon from gen 3 the best, but platinum was the most fun game imo

i love all the games equally and respect that the creators put a lot of effort into making new and fun games :)

i started a ss randomizer nuzlocke and got an ampharos as my starter life is good
