Best Pokemon Game?

[Eythan]

Tough, a toss-up between Ruby/Sapphire for it's change from the "traditional" mountainous plains to the more tropical Island setting. Plus Torchic is adorable, Treeko is a blade-wielding gecko, and I liek Mudkipz. But White is also close, if not beating Gen. 3.

haha you really liked the starters then? XD

Yellow. There aren't words for how off the walls insanely excited I was for that one.

Yes, the overall design, look wise, the first two dual-type starters in the game, the idea of specialized moves (Muddy Water, Leaf Blade, and Blaze-Kick; although it is possible for some Gen. 5's to learn them T_T) to give the starters and even more unique edge, and just the general feeling of actually saving the Island and it's outlaying areas (as opposed to stopping the Mob) give it the more "epic" type of feel.

Ill agree with you on that, i loved the new ways to go around places as well (e.g. dive) i think that may be them all :L XD

I sure am ;D yeah they were pretty cool stuff werent they *looks back nostalgically*

I'm ashamed to say that I used an Action Replay on my White version before beating it (and my friends chastized me for a week over it), but I just couldn't stand not being able to train up a Mudkip for one more game, and I really, REALLY hated the fact that you couldn't get older-gen Pokemon until after you get the NP, so I used my AR to get a Mudkip in the patch of grass near the starter town. Caught it at level four, so it wasn't that much weaker than my Osawatt (which I nicknamed Canada for some reason). I then proceeded to neglect Oshawatt, and I now use it as cannon fodder.

 

[Azure Sky]

Crystal.

Second gen was my favorite of the games, Crystal had the better hardware. =3

Trust me, it deserved it. It wrecked my room! (although that WAS partially Bianca's fault. Darn NPC characters!)

Changing to another topic, is it just me, or are the Plasmas not only stupider than the Aquas and Magmas, not only stupider than the Rockets,

Heck, is it just me, or is Team Plasma even stupider than Team Galactic? (not to mention the worst-dressed set of bad guys in the series so fat?)

Haha damn Bianca! its all her fault! Cheren said not to! and yeah Team Plasma are by far the dumbest team yet haha XD

 

[Zetswe]

Mine is yellow,heart gold and white.My GF likes yellow,red and black.

 

[Adam Galli]

Blue/Red/Yellow are the best. Followed by Gold and Silver.

 

[Womplord]

I think emerald was the best, I found it much more fun for some reason, I guess because of the story and towns which were more interesting in my opinion, plus it had the battle fronteir for the first time.

Ahh the originals!

 

[Twilight.falls]

I've played Red and Blue, completed both. I will forever cherish them for providing the framework for the rest of the franchise.

Black and White completely and utterly destroy them. I'm convinced that Black and White are, as of now, the best Pokemon games of all time.

What makes you say that they are the best?

 

[Spartan X1]

Blue version, first one I played and didn't figure out how to use Poke balls till the first cave, resulting in me having a wartortle,zubat, and geodude as my first three pokemon

 

[subtlefuge]

I know I said White earlier, and I'm sticking to that, but I feel like HG/SS deserve some credit for all of the touch screen functionality and the awesome ability to have Pokemon follow you around.

Edit: I know Yellow did it first, but Garchomp>Pikachu.

 

[Andothul]

Gold/Silver hands down bros

I'm gonna be a rebel and say Pearl (Though, if I had gotten Platinum, too, I would have probably preferred that.) Gen IV is where Nintendo really got their shit together, I think. Like B/W, the major focus is on the new Pokes, but unlike FR/LG and B/W, the game doesn't limit you to a ridiculously small, unvaried, mediocre selection for your main storyline team. Sure, B/W has re-usable TMs and the new Battle set-ups, but D/P absolutely revolutionized the battle scheme with the physical/special split, HG/SS has the best controls (with the Touch Screen serving as a near-perfect substitute for the right hand buttons), and the movement to DS graphics and music blew me away.

Oh, and the items... I really miss the 2-Speed Bike, Underground Kit, Poketch, EV held items, and especially the VS. Seeker. B/W has an odd obsession with multiplayer (C-Gear, Entralink, Dream World, IR, Local Wireless) that doesn't fit a 1-player RPG, and even significantly impedes what the game could have been (namely, because the C-Gear renders the Touch Screen, so useful in HG/SS, totally POINTLESS.) Also, the main game in B/W, even including the post-Ghetsis stuff, is far too short.

So, by Generation, I'd say IV > II > III > V > I.

haha fair enough, not many people seem to like generation IV
