Discuss your favorite Pokemon game/generation.
Mine is Fire Red, due to the fact that it was my introduction to the series, I also really like Soul Silver, cause of two regions and your Pokemon following you outside of there Pokeballs.

Favorite would be Sapphire/ Ruby. Second would be SoulSilver because they deeply improved on the amazing Silver Version.

...And I may as well list my least favorite. Black/ White. It made me never want to buy a new Pokemon game ( unless they make a remake of Sapphire/ Ruby :3 )

[Noxid]

I like Blue Version. Blastoise 4 lyfe.

They're all so damn similar that your favorite should either be the latest and most improved one (Black or White) or whichever one you played as a kid. Although I grew up on gen II, I like my HeartGold more than the original game.

B/W are just really bad. I dunno, maybe because of the crappy map design, shitload of new pokemon, or crappy plot (as Noxid's comments kind of mentioned).

I dunno, I didn't actually find anything wrong with Pokemon B/W. It had an actual morally based plot (I know it may seem "crappy" to those who are used to 'oh no team rocket beat them all and then beat the elite four' as a plotline to follow for a 20 hour game). There was nothing wrong with the map design at all, I haven't a clue what you're trying to reference. And did you just complain about them adding new pokemon?

shitload of new pokemon

Er.. isn't that what new Pokemon games, you know, are for? I'm not sure if you haven't been watching the series for the last 16 years, but...
That's kind of the general pattern they've been following.

So the pokemon weren't their "best." But are they really that worse than pokemon from Generations 1, 2, 3, and 4? That was full of pokemon named after real life animals, changing the name of an animal just slightly and calling it a new creation? Originality has never been Pokemon's strong suit.

Anyway, my favorite has got to be White.
Pokemon yellow is fun and nostalgia-licious, but I can only log a few hours on it before I get bored D:

[Cave Story]

My favorite game would have to either be LeafGreen/FireRed or the Red/Blue/Green (I don't have any of the three, but I have Yellow which is ok). I remember that practically my life from ages 6 1/2 to 8 1/2 was LeafGreen and Super Smash Bros. Melee. I still keep up with the series, and I'm disappointed with B/W. I'm probably not going to get the next game.

Gotta be diamond for me guys.I play pokemon like any other RPG. I play it like Golden Sun or Tales of Symphonia. Just you know, for fun. Because the difference between doing well in singleplayer and doing will internationally is punctuated by months of your life, that you will never, ever get back.

So the single player experience is where ti starts and ends for me. And Diamond, i love for it. Mainly because it has two of the more memorable RPG moments in any RPG game i played. The whole scaling the mountain sequence, and all the figths upon it, leading to capturing whats his face. Then of course there was Cynthia... The best A.I. in pokemon in pokemon history, up to that point. And a killer team! Loved it i did ^^

Meh, now that I think about it, the plot wasn't awful, but was my least favorite so far nontheless.

There was nothing wrong with the map design at all.

Well you might not have understood what I meant, I meant the MAP map. The routes you traveled in were good fun, as the caves, but the design of the map itself had no variety. If you've seen Hoenn's map, it was crazy. Shit everywhere.

And did you just complain about them adding new pokemon? Er.. isn't that what new Pokemon games, you know, are for? I'm not sure if you haven't been watching the series for the last 16 years, but...
That's kind of the general pattern they've been following.

Not the pokemon added, but the amount. At this point I just can't keep up, the most they have added in one region. Did they really have to bring in THAT many new pokemon? Not to mention the amount of legendaries they have now, sheesh.

I might have been nitpicking, whatever D:

[Captain Fabulous]

Yes, they did have to add that many Pokemon. I don't see you complaining about how the first games had A HUNDRED AND FIFTY ONE POKEMON OMG TOO MANY.
And complaining about the cartography of the game is pretty stupid, it's not like it's an important part of Pokemon.
Do you know what else is stupid? Saying that Pokemon has a crappy plot. Of course it does. Every Pokemon game since Red/Blue has had a silly plot that's just an excuse to send you to the Elite Four and not bore you to death. If you really want to talk about Pokeplots, at least B/W isn't as dumb as R/S. Come on, guys. "We're going to get rid of the ocean." That's the worst motivation ever.
