Post your favourite Pokemon game of all time here. Give your arguments and explanations, and after every week I will tally up the posts and tell you the positions of your fave Pokemon games.
My favourite is Pokemon Black, because of Reshiram and the cool Pokemon in it.
My favorite was 4th generation with Diamond. I admit, the Pokemon did start to get a bit more...exotic. But I really enjoyed the new game mechanics. The physical/special split made gameplay more complex and interesting. Also, they had plenty of past experiences to help make PC interactions and other minor improvements.
As for spin-offs, Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness was a great game. It had a surprisingly detailed and long storyline.
I think Fire red is the best one! Just because it was the first one I really really played and worked hard on. After that probably Emerald and then Soul Silver/ Silver
In my opimion yes Gen 1 was the best as it was the original games but my favourite game is Soul Silver as you had a wide array of legends not the typical 3 or 4, you had the fun of your pokemon following you around like yellow, there wasn't a problem affecting your starter pokemon choice as you got 3 different starters(Gen 1-3 starter pokemon)/ You couldn't complain about a short storyline as you had to beat 18 gym leaders and the elite 4 twice, there was Red that you could fight to see how strong your team was and the gym leaders were re-battleable.The game had excellent graphics(sadly now outshone by genV) you had the ability to change the sound to that of gold and silver, the pokedex style(in my opinion) was easier to use, the pokeathelon was a great passtime especially with friends and you could try your hand at the battle frontier. In my opinion it is probably better than any of the games I have played. Out of both Heart Gold and Soul Silver I would say I prefer Soul Silver as I prefer some of the legends, but both games are great. This in my opinion is the best Pokemon game of all time.
Personally I love the Pokemon of the first and second games. Those are probably the best, but the Pokemon of 3rd-5th gen have many good ones as well. Honestly they have different qualities that make them individual such as: Music: Diamond/Pearl/Platinum Pokemon: Blue/Red/Yellow/ Storyline: Black/White Gameplay After Story Time: Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald Gameplay of Story: Gold/Silver Originality: Mystery Dungeon games/Pokepark Graphics: Battle Revolution/Colosseum
Blue/Red/Yellow definitely place high. Gold built on that and made it much much better. 3rd Gen pumped it up a little more, but from there, they just lost it. The Pokemon started to just get ridiculous.
[b]i think pokemon black and white are great as the story in them are amazing lol love snivy also cant wait for black white 2, set two years after the original b+w and with45 new Pokemon. but i have to say the old ones are classic
