Alright, this may be a stretch, but if you count remakes, then Resident Evil (ya know, THE remake of remakes) is the fifth mainline title in that franchise.

You'd also need to ignore Resident Evil Gaiden >_>

RE4's the popular answer, but REMake is certainly a justifiable one.

I nearly said RE4 for this actually because I was counting Code: Veronica, which is a mainline title in everything but name but I guess it wouldn't count

King's Quest V is arguably the best in the series, VI is probably the only one that comes close. The fifth Shining game by release date is Shining Force II, and there hasn't been a better game in the series since. Mega Man V is the best in the Game Boy series.

THUG > THPS3 and THPS1+2 is certainly a take...
I played the F out of 3 and 2 and the mere fact of being able to get off your board blew my mind. Now I realize it was janky and weird design but back then it was the best thing ever.

I also agree that generation 5 of Pokemon is the best, BW2 in particular.

but it's a stretch to call them the fifth entry

I don't agree but I've heard it argued about Harry Potter

It's a fair case with the books.

You could say Wario Land (it's tricky, half of the series could be argued to be the best one).

(Wario Land 4 is the fifth one)

I love Black/White to death, but I can't put it above RBY for all its flaws. It's my #2 though, and imo a worthy addition to the topic
RBY is the worst mainline game though so I can easily put it there

If we're arguing just the base pairs (RB, GS, RS, etc. etc.) and not any remakes or rereleases or spinoffs, then BW is unquestionably 5th. And if its just base pairs, then yes BW is the best (though SM is just at its heels)

Idk if I'm ok with HP counting

I feel like if a story is planned and structured in advance to have 7 entries, the 5th (or 6th or 4th or whatever) is more likely to be the best one. I thought the topic was more about series/franchises where sequels just keep being made because it's doing well.

So even though OotP is my favourite Potter book, I don't know if HP is technically "in the spirit" of Anagram's question even if it would technically apply.

I mean, of course it's unquestionably 5th if you make sure to only count four things before it, that's a very obvious statement to make. It is indeed the fifth base pair that is not a remake.

But it's not unquestionably the "fifth entry in Pokmon", as you're underlining yourself by having to list several conditions in your post, which was my point.

Black and White are the 5th gen of Pokemon but they can't count as the 5th entry by any stretch of the imagination because you have to purposely not count a bunch of things that fly for other series. Like, if you aren't going to count the remakes, then for your logic to be consistent, you can't count remakes for any other series. Likewise, if you aren't going to count the third versions, then you get into questions like is it fair to discount Yellow but count Lost Levels, for instance.

For Grand Theft Auto, is it more appropriate to say San Andreas or V? I feel like either answer would be supported well enough either way.

Does Castlevania: Symphony of the Night count? I'm thinking CV1-CV2-CV3-Super CV4-CV:SotN.

I wouldn't fault anybody who said Mega Man 5, though I don't agree with it personally.

EDIT: SSBU is a great choice, good call.

King of the Hill arguably peaked during its fifth season. "Ho Yeah!," "Luanne Virgin 2.0," "The Buck Stops Here" ("MAH DADDY'S HAVIN' A HEART ATTACK!!"), "The Perils of Polling"... there's no shortage of iconic episodes in that season.

If you don't count spin-offs, there's also Animal Crossing, whose fifth game (New Horizons) is by far its most popular and culturally significant release.

Season 5 has "Homer Goes to College" which is the single best Simpsons episode. I know Season 8 has "You Only Move Twice" but it also has more "meh" episodes in it. 5 doesn't have a single bad episode, and several that are peak Simpsons.
