Crystal was fucking perfect

crystal was honestly really fucking good, considered putting it in elder god tier but im afriad that it mightve been my nostalgia for it blinding me since it was my first pokemon game

Yummy.

That is the shittiest zoomer taste I have ever seen. Whoever made that is certainly the biggest faggot on this board, and you're the second biggest for reposting it.

I bet now you're gonna say pokemon red and blue were good lol

They were.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

now someone with good taste

This would actually be a solid list if not for XY and ORAS at the bottom

>b-but

XY and ORAS are DISSAPOINTING and have tons of missed potential, but they aren't bad. Just on the sole basis of havicng 6 gens's worth of iterative improvements and features alones makes them better then RBY, GSC, RS, FRLG, and DP.

Going game by game for arguments will just go into bickering.
Here are some wide statements that I feel people really can't argue with.
-Diamond and Pearl are some of the worst games in the entire series and Platinum salvaged a lot of out a poorly designed region.
-Emerald, HG/SS, and B2W2 are some of the rare cases it feels like they truly went all out. Should always be near the top.
-X&Y are above the median for raw amount of pokemon you were able to actually catch, massive QoL updates, and the raw fanservice of Megas in spite of piss-poor difficulty and weak, stretched-thin story.
-ORAS, while having some great bits they expanded on, can't be held as highly as emerald.
-Original GSC have a massive problem of the gap of Kanto to Red which is some of the most glaring gaps in the series.

it's funy that the named the GSC remakes "Heart & Soul", because that's exactly what they lack.

Gen 5 was the last gen that was good

>More like first gen that was bad.
Gens 2 and 3 fill that role.

One of the few good moments in a average game.

bad bait

There was more heart and soul in FRLG, HGSS was a remake that didn't fix shit.

They'd be among the best if the level curve and Pokemon distribution wasn't so bad.

how has your head not imploded you literal retard. Gen V is by far the shittiest Pokemon gen

They supplemented Johto being a pretty bad region by cramming it utterly full with some of the best side content in the series.
rip game corner

>Gen V is by far the shittiest Pokemon gen
>he didn't play Gen 2 aka KANTOOOOO before LGBT

>with some of the best side content in the series.
Platinum's BF and the Pokelathon. Kanto is still boring because it's a boss rush and the level curve mixed with bad distribution makes replays unbearable.

t. zoomer.

funny

and cute

but zoomers are the ones who despise johto

HGSS was shit desu. It did nothing to fix the horrid level curve and wild pokemon distribution plus KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO is still just a tacked on sandbox.

This. I get that it was too easy but how can it be rock bottom when it's got better breeding mechanics, the friend Safari, and upgraded wifi features compared to its predecessors.

And Pokeathlon is some of the best shit ever touched in this series.
But, the new Safari zone was something very significant in how it was handled. It unironically was something that could let you fix some of the stupid johtomons locked behind kanto.

>JOHTO Region
>Only four Johto Pokemon used by the Gym leaders
>Five gym leaders have more than one Pokemon from a single evolutionary line
>Most Pokemon used are just filler, only the ace is normally any real threat
What where they thinking with this? They added in so many new things to enhance the game, and also improved upon things already in the game. But when it came to the gym rosters, one of GSC's biggest flaws, they didn't do anything besides adjust a few levels and moves.

>It unironically was something that could let you fix some of the stupid johtomons locked behind kanto.
It didn't; instead of spreading all those pokemon across the region, it locks them to one area in the mid game of the first half. And the upgrade system needing days to add new mons was pretty dumb.

I wish I didn't have to waste a Rock Climb slot so we could have a true fight

im the guy he was talking to, im a zoomer and love johto (probably because gold and silver were the first ones i played)

the original was much more kino

They're good remakes, but you can't beat the classics.

Haven't played since Gen 4. Currently playing Sun for the first time and it's super boring. 10 hours in and it's just dialog after dialog. Should I bother with ORAS or is it a better to go for HG/SS and Black/White 2?

Shit man how's the year 1999 treating you? Worried about Y2K?

Skip Gen 6 and just play BW2.

Let'Go Pikachu/Eevee did more to improve and evolve the pokemon formula than any game post gen 4. Are we still pretending they are bad even though they are objectively great games?

Same. Gave me nostalgia from the originals but also was varied enough with the new additions to the world and the new gameplay mechanics from DPP that it didn’t feel like a pointless retread.

>sun and moon in high tier
jesus christ

Emerald is still kinda the definitive version of Hoenn. The only real bonuses ORAS has are Wally's final fight, the new rival fight, and how fucking boss riding Mega Fug into space was only for it to one-shot deoxys if you took that fight seriously
X & Y are not going to be a ton better for you than Sun & Moon. The cutscenes are somewhat faster, but it's more novel than good. Pacing after the 3rd gym just absolutely shits itself.

>SM and USUM not in shit tier
lmao

ORAS may be wack, but I don't think they deserve to be THAT low.

You're right but these cucks will call it bait or ignore you. Just by ditching random encounters, letting you ride pokemon and simplifying the battle system LGPE are better than everyrhing post HGSS

How come every game after they ditched the traditional camera system has been complete garbage? Is it because the more realistic world proportion fucks up the sense of exploration and adventure?

Silver.

>gen 2
>bad

stop posting, zoomer

wew lad

>you have to be a zoomer to dislike Gen 2
Faggot, I own both HGSS and GC on the 3DS. When you have shit like you're everything but good.

that's better

give me your friend code

Why do people hate XY and SM so much?

go for HGSS and BW/BW2

Because Gamefreak is a hack developer that got lucky once and has rehashed the same game for 23 years.

I finished it and it was boring. It would've been good if there were random encounters were you could fight

and then gamefreak killed the series from gen 6 onwards

they take out stuff and are boring

Gamefreak doubled down on their pivot to more story-based games that honestly started in Hoenn but people didn't really notice until Unova.
Really basic, repeated animations for NPCs, often just standing around and talking.
No cutscene skip.
Makes gen 6 and 7 okay games for a first playthrough and a struggle for anything after.
But that playthrough's easy as hell because of how imbalanced Megas and Z-moves were, exp share changes, and amie buffs.
X&Y at least was the jump to 3D that gave more than grid-based movement, had PSS, Super Training, a massive regional dex, and the usage of Megas brought hype that makes it genuinely sit better in the big picture.

Put SM/USUM in shit tier and this list is actually perfect.
