The original Gold and Silvers.
Although i consider HGSS to be better games now, at the time the excitement and joy that came from the original pair was much greater.
Although Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald was the probably the pinnacle of the series being the most complete in terms of graphics/content/pokemon amount before diamond and pearl ruined it but received a slight boost with the good remakes of HGSS.
In total i calculated that i have probably lost about 1,000-1,500 hours on the pokemon games.
On another note i wonder if Ruby and Sapphire will receive remakes in 2013.
