Current Events > What's the best Pokemon game?

(+) Yeah! (+)

My vote goes to HGSS

Yup, Heart Gold still wins after all dese years

Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky

For just the main series, it's really close between Platinum, HG/SS, and B2/W2, but I'd give the slight edge to HG/SS.

Colosseum is the only one I really want to go back to.
If trade evos vanished, this could change fast.

Pokmon Go to the Polls

B/W or B2/W2 IMO. Gen 5 was pretty chef's kiss.

Gen 2 best mainline
Colosseum best side game

Lets Go Eevee

The real answers now and forever is and will always be heartgold and soulsilver, those games were the last time Gamefreak gave a shit

The consensus usually lies somewhere among Platinum, HGSS, and BW2.

Black/White 2, actually.

Really wish theyd put all the old games on Switch.

It's a sin that no one has said Emerald yet.

Though everyone saying HG/SS are VERY close.

I don't think I could even go back to vanilla Pokemon games after playing some of the romhacks out there. It's amazing how there are so many romhacks that are vastly superior to the actual games these days.

Everything about this post is correct, but for me Platinum gets the "slight edge."
Especially about EoS.

shoutout to ruby/sapphire pinball

Surprising lack of PMD Explorers of the Sky in this topic.

Mystery Dungeon 2 followed by BW2

HG/SS, anything gen 5, and PLA

Explorers of Sky easily, I started to make my own version of explorers of sky lol.

HGSS is my favorite, but it's been a long while since I've gone through gen 5 so I need to try that again.

The one I played the most was Diamond

Best would probably be between Emerald and HGSS

For fangames I really enjoyed Pocket Crystal League +

Pokemon Silver 4 Lyfe

Pokemon X / Y. Game was great from start to finish. I sunk over 300 hours into that game. It also has some of the best Pokemon designs (Greninja, Aegislash, Goomy, etc) and was peak shiny hunting with friend safari.

Pokemon Sword / Shield. Buy the expansion pass and prepare to play for a few hundred hours. The game has actual end game content and not just the battle tower. Catching legendary Pokemon is done in a way that makes sense by grouping up yet still easily attainable without the need to waste a master ball.

Legends Arceus.

Even Dunkey liked it.

Emerald imo

Trying to decide which one to play through and having access to all of them makes this really fucking hard

Ive written off RBY entirely, they have nostalgia going for them but thats it

So Im currently stuck between LG, SS, and Emerald

Kind of considering Crystal because it has nostalgia without being horribly outdated

using GB, GBA, and DS emulators on my old Droid Turbo 2 since the batteries in my old cartridges are fucked and my DS doesnt hold a charge anymore

Soul Silver Superior
