I heard this game is trash so I have stayed away. IGN's 9.3 or whatever it was calling it the "best pokemon game ever" is turning me off even more after all the negatives I have heard lmao.

Whoever said it was trash was probably upset about dexit. They removed about half of the pokemon from this game. And for that many people boycotted it. They also made some stupid lies to try and reason why they did it. The game also has some parts where the graphics are lacking. But i can tell you that alot of the people that have actually played it are enjoying it. I was initially very upset about the lack of pokemon but once I got into the game I hardly noticed. The game is actually really fun and one of the better pokemon games. They could of done better for sure, but that doesn't make it bad. Look up some player reviews not IGN lmfao...

Yeah the main thing that turned me off was the lack of pokemon and the $$$. I'll look more into it. I'm probably gonna wait till Christmas to get this game if I ever do actually get it.

And here I am in 2019 still playing my copies of Ruby and Emerald. Best Pokémon games ever IMO. Hit me up if you want to travel across the ocean and hook up via GBA link cable

i still enjoy playing the original red, blue, and yellow but i barely keep up with the latest games.  I enjoyed gen 3 more than gen 2 as well. 

[Fartknocker]

I think Diamond is the GOAT but Ruby is a very close second.

1. Red, blue
2. Emerald, ruby
3. diamond

yes

Gold and Silver and the remakes HG/SS were amazing! But my favorite might have to be Sapphire idk it is hard to say. Honestly, I've really enjoyed every main series pokemon game. So they are all pretty close for me.

Also for anyone wanting to play any of the games they missed over the years or replay any just get Citra (3DS) or DeSmuME (DS) emulators and you can play through any of the pokemon games you want with ease and for free. I even setup a xbox controller and played them upscaled to 4k in fullscreen. It was an awesome experience!

I enjoyed HG more than i did the original silver or gold.  Sapphire is one of my all time favorites.  With that said, idk if any of them have as many hours as LG.   I love gen 1, and the extra stuff in the end was pretty good.(some minor gripes but w/e)

I am not sure what i played more of when it comes to red, blue or yellow.   i am guessing blue or yellow though i tended to play them somewhat evenly. 

I have a few old gameboys and a regular old DS.  I haven't bothered with any of the newer ones.

Yeah HG/SS were GREAT. Probably some of the best. And yeah I agree LG is actually really good despite no random encounter battles I really enjoyed it!
