Thinking of replaying one and can't make up my mind.

FRLG, which takes gen 3's mechanics and combines it with gen 1's design. RSE is also great.

At some point I want to replay XY or SuMo, but I might do USuMo

It has to be before 3DS era onwards since thats when GF started cutting corners like crazy making barebones nonsense. Nothing there except gen 8 was good and that required 2 DLC to accomplish. FRLG, Platinum, HGSS and B2W2 are all contenders.

The actual core content of those games was a pretty massive update in cases, even if you didn't have as much after-game.

Oh lawdy.

You say that but hardly anyone besides you (the contrarian) has voted for anything past gen 5 yet (ie 3D). And even you had FRLG as your first choice. The 3D games just are not memorable. And don't get confused, my praise for gen 8 is relative. The only reason I give gen 8 any props is because they added on more content with DLC. The base game still wasn't that good. Still much better than Sun and Moon which were atrocious.

I believe Platinum is the pinnacle for Pokemon with its challenging post game areas and underground. The only other games that come close are Diamond/Pearl, Black/White 1 and Black/White2.

You call me a contrarian, yet you're bitching about critically praised, massively successful games and pretending that they're the shits. Who's the contrarian there? Second, the bulk of PotD likely stopped playing before gen 5 or 6. Third, and perhaps most importantly, people picking some games as the best doesn't reflect the unpicked games being bad but, and this is key, SOMEBODY DID PICK XY AND ORAS (see post #5) so you don't even have that right! Fourth and finally, imagine being so contrarian as to call gens 6 and 7 bad. Fuck!

MeteoricBurst posted...
And even you had FRLG as your first choice.

Which doesn't mean I find gens 5 and 6 bad. The only generation that was really forgettable was maybe gen 5, although gen 4's campaign was also mediocre.

I still haven't finished gen 8 so I'm reserving my opinions there. Just like gen 5, it had terrible fucking starters which is probably one reason I haven't go very far into it.

You know, I've bit my tongue enough. HGSS aren't even close to the top. They took the less-impressive gen 2 and applied gen 4's slow-as-molasses system. Gen 4 had some cool shit, but its system was garbage and it wasn't improved that much for HGSS. It's doubly egregious when you see how quickly gen 3 ran.

All the Pokemon games are massively successful so no I'm not being contrarian by calling some bad. If you were to judge them on sales alone they would all be among the best games ever (lol). And gen 8 would be the best in over 20 years since it sold the most since gen 1 days. Clearly gen 8 is not the 2nd best Pokemon game.

I can't say it's the best, but OG Gold/Silver was the game I was most impressed with during its hayday.

My favourite mini-game is the underground digging in Pearl/Diamond

Gold/Silver has always been my favourite, along with Crystal. Even just playing the regular releases (not remake) on 3DS VC is really fun.

I also snagged a copy of Emerald about a year ago before its price really took a spike. I liked gen 3 a whole lot, but even as a 12 year old I was disappointed in certain mechanics (like actual time of day/day of week events) being removed. Still, I like the 'zippiness' of running around/the mach bike.

Although really, I have bought a game from basically every gen except 4 (only one I completed the dex of in highschool), 6 (not really a fan) and gen 8 (I'll get around to it) in the past year. They're all fun. I've been really loving the graphics of Black/White. Cool seeing the culmination of 2D graphics on the DS for Pokemon, the moving sprites are great.
