I do like all the Pokemon games so far, but Sun and Moon really didn't got me excited for it. I really loved Diamond, to the point where I would bring my DS with me everywhere so that I could play it. Pokemon Gold/Silver definitely are the best games in my opinion because they perfected the formula. I see that you've forgotten how Gamefreak tanked performance of 3DS games because they have used futureproofed models instead of something actually designed for the system. However, a hurricane and extended power outage moved me over to, I believe, Leaf Green. This list is absolute nonsense. 8 wild area and fixes most needlessly overcomplicated mechanics, 6 fixes some of them and adds some actually nice things like playing on 3D. Gen 2 Remake > Gen 3 > Gen 6 > Gen 1 Remake > Gen 2 > Gen 4 > Gen 7 > Gen 5 > Gen 3 Remake > Gen 1. Tapu Koko constantly made anime appearances in Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon. Stats, abilities, and typing are just a few criteria used to determine some of the best Pokémon. Although the black base of its standard form is menacing, its white and orange counterpart is off-putting. Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! Put your remake in-between that if you must. My favorites are HeartGold/SoulSilver and Fire Red/Leaf Green . I only ever liked the first game, Red/Blue. UNlike some on here, I tend to find something good in every Pokémon mainline game (though I admit to not having played the Ultra games or even Pokémon Crystal). My very first own Pokemon game was Leaf Green, the Nintendo DS Lite had just been released and I was just 10 dollars short of buying the DS as my first console so I ended up buying a pink GBA SP AGS 101 along with Catz. There's so much to discover when you don't play every entry as soon as it's out, specially after 3 generations. Can't say I really agree with this list. Like previous new generations, Pokémon X & Y brings several new forms ⦠Dragonair is a fan favorite generation one Pokémon. Pokemon Red,Blue,Yellow,Green, Fire red, Leaf Green Commenting again because these lists are garbage. Once I got into that and I saw I was able to catch all those old Pokémon again (because I was so attached to them) it really made everything so much more enjoyable for me. Heart Gold and Soul Silver are my favorite pokemon games of all time. Covering the hottest movie and TV topics that fans want. I'm actually pretty sure the only quote I read about this matter from Masuda is that they DO consider it core Pokémon games, but I still think they are separate. @BulbasaurusRex *4th water based TM. I haven't kept up with the series, but I'm not sure I'd like some of the changes and upgrades. Played them all, starting with yellow. Charizardâs base stats are extremely well rounded, with its special attack and speed being the standouts. 12. @Nintencats73 wrong. Every Pokémon has at least one type if not two. 5. These stats are used to determine how much damage a Pokémon takes and receives. Please, someone explain. Along with other new features like the Distortion World and the return of the Battle Frontier, Platinum was a massive step up from Diamond and Pearl. it doesn't make it more difficult for veteran players, just a pain having to grind on stupidly low lever wild pokemon. They are NOT practically the same game. The structure and story and what you could do with Pokemon remained the same but I had moved on. The remakes of Ruby and Sapphire though were brilliant though. The well-rounded physical and special attack stats also make Guzzlord an optimal mixed attacker. Earned my BA in English Literature at Concordia University in 2019. The best Pokemon game are White2/Black2, the best content we ever had in a Pokemon game, so much to do even after the league, a really good story, great graphics for the NDS.Pokemon Yellow should be lower, it's only Red & Blue but with Pikachu, just so that people can relate to the anime, not really interesting imo cuz Pikachu isn't actually good in the game, being cute is not enough, I really don't understand why he is highter than Ultra Sun & Moon, Ruby & Sapphire and X & YWhy Platinum is that much higher than Diamond and Pearl ? Not exactly regarding order because since you're making a list, you're the one who decides where each entry goes, but justifications and priorities seem a little odd to me. Although its third ability Run Away is nothing special, Flash Fire and Flame Body can prove to be incredibly useful in battle. Now, if you argued that the story/pacing was bad, I'd wholeheartedly agree with you. a lot of hours on HGSS then emerald or Crystal for the second place. RIP Iwata-san. Top three should be Platinum, HGSS, and BW2 in that order. It got me into it, so it'll always have a place in my heart. As such a powerful Pokémon it is no surprise that Metagross is Champion Stevenâs signature Pokémon. A white Guzzlord looks more fitting as something straight from space. Pokémon with two types are called dual-type Pokémon. Shiny Pumpkaboo would look at home right next to a witch. Pkmn Lets Go should be the last of them all. I spent over a month playing the game after bedtime, under my covers trying not to get caught. Shiny Metagross is a tasteful combination of silver and gold. Of all the revised versions, Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, Platinum, and Ultra, Platinum easily was the biggest jump, fixing the most issues and adding some of best additions. Shiny Ponyta is a rare case in which the base color of the Pokémon remains in a similar state when shiny. I'd probably put Either Black and White 2, ORAS, or HGSS at the top. Sure, there used to be a divide between the second and third generations, but that was a technical issue, and doesn't even exist any more now that the first two generations are available on virtual console. Metagrossâs stats, move pool and typing make it a must-have Pokémon for any trainer. It is disappointing to see that evolution requires a trade. The best shiny Pokémon must also be useful in the games. My one complaint with this list is: Why is Pokémon X and Y so far down? @ThanosReXXX Nothing at all, I just had the most serene smile - just like Thanos' own at the end of Infinity War - upon seeing HeartGold and SoulSilver at the top of the list. This page is to detail all of the version exclusives I can die in peace. I'm not gonna say your taste is wrong, but I am gonna question how Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon AREN'T better than Sun and Moon. The Fire horse Pokémon is a fan favorite due to its simple design and calming nature. They are glorified cell phone games with a 60$ price tag. Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire were the first entries in the franchise to grace the Game Boy Advance, and introduced double battles, allowing each trainer in a battle to fight with two Pokémon, and multi battles, which saw two teams of two trainers battle each other. Also ha. Ideally, strong Pokémon have few weaknesses and many resistances. The speed stat determines which Pokémon moves first in a battle. Bold of you to rank the Let's Go gales above anything else. It would be like ranking Emerald below R/S, Platinum below D/P, or Crystal below...wait, you did that, too! THIS IS THE WORST POKEMON GAMES LIST I HAVE EVER SEEN. Having the route 1 bug not be able to fully evolve until the end of the game is dumb. It gives it more claim to the Ghost typing. @StephanDLW @Aloy I think they ranked it a lot around what these games added to the series or rather what unique features they still have after 20 years. This dynamic allows for trainers to compare and interpret shiny Pokémon against their standard forms. Pokémon X & Y have compatibility with two bits of Nintendo 3DS download software. Its below-average move pool is saved by a possibility of three incredible abilities. Let's take a look at the best legendary Pokémon designs from the iconic series. Tapu Kokoâs shiny sprite offers up some color for a more intimidating aesthetic. I remember it got me to take my dog on walks a lot. In later generations, Charizardâs move pool developed into viable use of Flying, Dragon, and Fire moves. 7. I'm most drawn to the GBA games due to the visual style, but still being in full 2D. Then again, maybe it's the fans fault for expecting any better from a studio so lazy it makes valve blush. Some of the best shiny Pokémon only exhibit minor color changes, while others take on drastic transformations. It totally revamped and improved the story including the first use of animated cutscenes, introduced the Battle Frontier, allowed you to rebattle the gym leaders, as well as a few other additional new features. Hi,I have created this nice poll to get the thought of the world on this same question:https://pobll.com/poll/what-is-the-best-pokemon-game-ever-released-94/. As far as the argument about whether Let's Go is considered mainline, my understanding is that they're remakes of a game that is considered mainline. Also has the least content of any Pokemon game, not its fault but true. The Elite 4 is mostly trainers you have already fought and beaten before. Diamond and Pearl has terrible Pokemon distribution (infamously leading to there being only one Fire type in the game other than the starter, and yet they still had an Elite Four member of that type which has Lopunny, Steelix and Drifblim), has a second long pause whenever you do anything in a battle, has the HP decrease extremely slowly, is even slower when surfing, is extremely anticlimactic on Spear Pillar if you’ve played Platinum, has some really bad gym puzzles (like Eterna and especially Hearthome Gyms, there is no way you can defend Hearthome Gym), has the third city with a gym have the fifth gym for no reason, has most of the new Pokemon introduced be cross gen evolutions that you can’t get until you’ve beaten the game and legendaries and a lot of the others being crap designs (Sinnoh has some great Pokemon, don’t get me wrong, but a lot of them cannot be used in DP’s main story) to lead to almost Johto-level distribution problems, the HMs are in completely random places which anyone who’s played Platinum has forgotten (tell me off the top of your head where you get Defog and Strength in DP, here’s a hint, you’re probably wrong) does enough to beat Yellow, the first attempt to create the ultimate version of Red and Blue, but isn't quite up to the remake standards of FireRed and LeafGreen. haha! It was neat to see what characters from the ⦠I thought it was hilarious. Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2 The description you give for each game is horrible. However, the shiny version of Metagross just looks right. Play online with friends FREE for 7 days! Pokemon HeartGold/ SoulSilver 3. I cant believe Sun didn't make number 1 — it has so many improvements (like not needing to have an HM slave Pokémon and changing your appearance for example) and the writing and characters were all awesome. Whatâs great about shiny Pokémon is that they start a conversation. Stats, abilities, and typing are just a few criteria used to determine some of the best Pokémon. It's worse still on mobile. B/W are the best games in the series I've played by a long shot, between the fresh, almost full on rebooted vibe of the game, surprisingly realistic characters, and the more involved, JRPG-esque way the story unfolds. Hard to say which one though. I really like this idea! Looks pretty much like my fave list, I would just dump the original Gold & Silver and Fire Red & Leaf Green from the top 5 and place Emerald and Black 2 & White 2 in top 5. ruby/sapphire&Emerald, black/white&black2/white2). It along with Emerald and Black/White 2 are the "improved versions" that made the most of those improvements. I never understood why people liked it so much. Ultra Sun is hard towards the end because of this i think it should be higher than Sun/Moon. Black/White Wow, DO I not agree with this list!!! The odds of encountering a shiny Pokémon in generations 2, 3, 4, and 5 are 1 in 8192. Ranking the Pokémon games for me is very difficult. However, those are the best games, IMO. In Pokémon Sun and Moon, four guardian deities are said to protect Melemele Island. Isn't a suitable excuse by any means. Ultra Sun is much harder than Sun/Moon near the end it is really hard Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire - 14/16 - Too much water. Stats play a huge role in determining a Pokémonâs potential and more so their usage. (Its not proper a yellow remake at all ) Pokemon Colosseum which is a game i loved but also wouldnt consider main series, has a better claim to being on the list than lets go (different way of catching only a limted amount of pokemon (no wild) and quick transport are its biggest differences) . Although this makes for excellent offensive type coverage, it is highly susceptible to five types. These games suffered from bad mechanics within their own games, overly linear design compared to the rest of the series, and perhaps the biggest examples of games that lacked beloved features their immediate predecessor had. Apart from being an incredibly strong Pokémon, Metagross is known for being the pseudo-legendary of generation three. Once again, the original design plays it safe by offering trainers something they would expect. Pokémon Red Version and Pokémon Blue Version were the first Pokémon games to be released outside of Japan, becoming available in North America on September 28, 1998, in Australia and New Zealand on October 23, 1998 and in Europe on October 5, 1999. These extraterrestrial Pokémon from Ultra Space possess immense power unlike that of standard Pokémon. For one, Dragonair doesnât evolve into Dragonite until level 55. Edit: Came back to find out why Diamond and Pearl were #16 out of 7 generations. It certainly isn't going towards the presentation, the balancing excuse is laughable, I certainly don't expect the campaign to stray from what you'd expect outta pokemon, so what exactly is the trade off? Sides, this is justifiable whining like the whole playing with friends debacle with Mario maker. This method of friendship evolution was introduced in generation 2. Why is there so much SuMo hate. Pokemon sun/moon and us/um are really the best pokemon games by far in my opinion. But also because it's the most annoying one to transfer Pokemon from, you can only transfer a maximum of 6 at a time and only to BW/B2W2 before putting them in any newer games, or the Pokebank. Sure, they didn't look or sound this good, but they were fine for the time, had everything that was in the original, while having every single Pokémon released up to that point, and all the new mechanics, plus even some completely new features (like the VS Seeker and Game Checker), plus it had 7 completely new islands with a new storyline to explore. I cant see how its left off if lets go is here. Starting January 22, 2021, purchase a Nintendo Switch⢠system, Nintendo Switch Lite system, or a physical or digital version of select games online from participating retailers by March 31, ⦠Gotta love ‘em all. Pokémon GoldSilver and Pokémon White & Black are the best! The all-black base of shiny Tapu Koko does exactly that. Personally I’d have a tough decision on which would be first, between Black/White and HeartGold/SoulSilver. Despite these weaknesses, it is still an incredibly viable Pokémon, especially in later generations. Wild pokemon, gym leaders and your own party never seem to sync up. Weâre striving to be the best resource about the Pokémon World on the net, so we cover all aspects of Nintendoâs smash hit. You don't want people to be stick of gen 1 by the time we get to the 25th anniversary. I would even make a makeshift mini-tent with my jacket so that I could play the game outside between classes. Pokemon Sun/Moon was the lowpoint of the series for me. 1 Is a Fantasy Revenge Story That Treads Familiar Ground, WWE Reveals nWo John Cena Ringside Collectible Figure, Joss Whedon Was Forbidden From Being Alone With Michelle Trachtenberg on the Buffy Set, Are You Afraid of the Dark? Pumpkaboo evolves into Gourgeist when traded. So is it true that you guys have pages just to generate more ad revenue? Now this list does have issues with ranking Ultra S/M and Yellow below their original versions, but there are legitimate reasons why those enhanced versions are ranked so much higher than their basic editions. The draconic Fire type optimizes the use of three colors in its standard form. A base special attack of 95 is decent. Would you really go back and play SUMO over USUM? The red flames are predictable, whereas the blue flames are wild and unknown. Z-moves are fun (although not necessarily an "improvement"), and there are a few other minor improvements here and there as well (such as type effectiveness being listed in battle and having the option to shuffle your party upon the capture of a new Pokémon), but that's it. And nostalgia is a factor for me as it's a remake of the 2nd gen games. At number 2 behind Silver. Finally, Ponyta could put that excellent physical attack stat to use. But alas, thats just my opinions, not fact. For my 5 year old, it's the greatest game ever made. Over time, your Pikachu would react to your actions, and its feelings for you would change. Pumpkaboo keeps its black upper portion and orange glowing eyes. Whatever knowledge you haveâwhether itâs about the anime, card game, video game or moviesâeverything is welcome here. That makes it all the more special when they turn up in shiny variants. Interesting list regardless, it's always great to see varying opinions. Dragonite owes its popularity to being the Champion Lanceâs ace. I was a bit worried seeing D/P in last, almost thought you'd got the list the wrong way around, but at least Platinum made it high up. All Water type moves would have been special attacks. Not mentioning the Battle Frontier in Emerald's description is an abomination! The depth of the Pokémon battle system is shockingly complex. So since these are probably all differ only by the matter of comma.decimals in terms of points, personal preference certainly does a lot to shift these games around. But it has reinforced, for me, that I am happy with how the series has grown and I eagerly await more info on the next new entries. Point is, Platinum is the only third version that is leaps and bounds beyond its predecessors. The true mainline pokemon is the big boy coming in 2019. That generation was the closest Pokemon has come to providing a proper single-player JRPG campaign, with a decent difficulty curve, more nuanced characters than in previous games, and a surprisingly involved plot, given the series. Black and White are the worst imo (if D/P graphics were dodgy, B/W were atrocious! This list is just buns, plain and simple. Aren't all these lists based on used votes? Black & White number 10? Wish they would remake them again with whatever new engine they are using on next year's pokemon I'm sure it would look amazing. Platinum improves so much; let's just start with the fact that Diamond and Pearl are horribly unoptimized for the DS, resulting in a crappy framerate, slow battles, in addition to the game generally just running slowly by design (compare the surf speed in Diamond & Pearl to Platinum and you'll see what I mean). Each game is unique and I love playing them. I was so into Pokémon when it came out. But now that GF goesn't even want to put every Pokémon in the game, which would take astronomically less time and money, all regions is even more so out of the picture. The once rare Dragon typing is a notoriously strong in-game type. @ThanosReXXX Hearted comment just for the keyboard nostalgia alone. @subpopz I was the exact same as you.. Whether youâre still searching for your first shiny Pokémon or youâre a shiny veteran, these variations are a great addition to the world of Pokémon. I think that is why the list is messed up, yes the revised versions are always going to be better, duh. 3. Platinum also improves the pacing of the game from a story standpoint, not just mechanically. I think anyone who hasn’t played in a while can jump in and will be fine. gets attacked for mentioning let’s go as a mainline game. Also, each game on this list only has about two sentences that just state the game's features and don't at all defend its ranking. In most Pokémon games, a menu will show the trainer the value of each of these stats. Love the catoony anime vibe and Jessie and James are just... Well, they're Jessie and James!!! And I can share the experience and help my youngest son out. The best example of this is Fantina being moved from the 5th(?) @Angelic_Lapras_King “Can we please just have a veteran mode to select at the start?”. while having to option to toggle back to "normal/beginner" mode should things become a struggle (Much like Mario's Infinite Star Block) or you loose to many times to a Gym Leader. 4. The first of Gyaradosâ flaws is a 4x weakness to Electric type moves due to a dual-type of Water/Flying. This typing resists six types including Ghost, Steel, and Fire. Having every single region is pretty much impossible though, sadly. This one is just a big fat mess. After I played Red and Yellow I hadn't played another until the release of Pokémon Alpha Sapphire. Sure your character's involvement in the story is quite minimal compared to some of the other Pokemon games, but on top of having basically just as much story with the villains as most other games do, it also adds quite a lot to the overall lore and world building of the main series Pokemon games too. You may want to save your game before you attempt or use a Master Ball. We then popped all of the pros and cons and nostalgia into a pot, gave it a big stir, and waited for the result to reduce to the spicy list you see below. Sun and Moon and the Ultra games should also be at the bottom of the list because of the, quite frankly, uncompelling Ultra Beasts. They are so awesome! My favorites (maybe tinted a little bit by nostalgia) are still the original games I played as a kid way back when they were originally released, and the follow ups to GBC and GBA. Every time I bought a new Pokemon game It was never really different enough to impress and inspire me like the first time. My top 3 would be: 3. Before I read this - HGSS better be the top spot. The best shiny Pokémon can be determined primarily based on their design. Ranking such awesome games proved a lot more difficult than we first anticipated, given how many of them end up being among the best games of their particular generation. With Fire and Water, Grass-types are a fixture of the Pokémon franchise. I did enjoy let’s go Pikachu though but that’s just because I love the original anyway but those 3ds games were a complete letdown I forced myself through them. red and blue were masterpieces, amazing how well their remake holds up and the length of it considering it was a flipping game boy game! Stopped reading after LGP/E was over D/P, X/Y, and well, everything else it was above. You know I hate it when people trash talk diamond and pearl. Because I can't think of a legit reason why you can have a 12 mile long comment section but need 3 pages to list the games... Really surprised X/Y is so low as it seemed so well received in the day and is the one I played the most and got a 9 at this site. The Pokémon series lost me when entering the DS/3DS era, though I played most of the ones released on those platforms. Personally I still hold them in regard as my favorite 3DS era games, although ORAS is very close competition. I think it holds up pretty well. >USS and USM have everything that the base games have and more.>Are listed several places behind the base games. I love gen 2 yeah but my favourite will always be bw2. With over 893 known Pokémon species to date, deciding on the best shiny Pokémon is a tough task. I would have loved if Let's Go included second generation Pokemon. I’m just gonna put a comment here, if you got an extra mewtwo laying around in let’s go I’ll trade you a shiny for it. That would be soooo cool!!! Just wondering how Pokémon Let's Go can even be considered a main-line release when it's a more of a cross-over from a spin-off. At least one should be a building shaped like a pokemon like the seviper facility). This list is so ***** dumb. With a base speed stat of 40, it certainly is not out-speeding potential threats. X and Y should be dead last. The shiny combination of pink and white works extremely well. I also sincerely hope that they will make a gen IV remake, because I love the pokemon designs and my favorite starter, Piplup, is there! Shiny Umbreon does not offer a drastic color change. SOS battles are terrible by themselves, but locking certain species encounters to SOS battles is something unforgiveable. The post-game was excellent, but it's the only main story that I would never play through a second time. I haven’t been addicted to a Pokemon game in 17 years. Gen 4 means to much to me on a personal level, from friends I've met and finding my soul mate, to generally enjoying a lot of aspects like the games, the anime, the designs of the Pokemon (Despite many new evos) and so on, not to mention the final gen before everything became very annual for the main series instead of making a gen last a good amount of time. X and Y should be way higher on the list. Regarding the list: Is this list based on legacy? Pokémon XY should be top in my eyes, but there's a lot of randomness throughout it. What the heck are you guys thinking?! @TheDragonDAFan My uncle Reggie, who works for Nintendo, confirmed this list is legit. I wouldn't consider Let's Go to be a main series entry personally. Maybe it should've been a rank of the best Pokémon generations. First, you can use Pokémon Bank to store up to 3,000 Pokémon on the cloud, and you can use the Poké Transporter to transfer Pokémon from Black, White, Black 2 & White 2. If this list has made you feel all warm inside about the series, then feel free to redress the balance with this list of 11 times the Pokémon series was really evil. Typing. However, these dual types are also likely more susceptible to weaknesses. THINK ABOUT YOUR LIST NEXT TIME. This ability kicks in when an Ultra Beast causes a Pokémon to faint with a damaging move. Get ready for the next Pokémon adventure in the Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield games. I agree with most of this list hg/ss are my top games they took my favourite gen and perfected them. It also succeeds in making Greninja much more menacing. After going back to diamond for a video, I must say, it's not THAT bad. Loved it but Pearl was the one that got me back into the franchise after I lost my old Silver cartridge. Also, it has a 20% chance of boosting the users attack stat by one stage. I adore Sun and Moon the most, not much for their "Ultra" renditions though. This is an expanded version of the seventh generation Sun and Moon, and includes new story elements, Ultra Beasts, and new forms for the Legendary Pokémon Necrozma. The only quotes I find where he even touches the topic is the IGN interview where he states these would probably be the last Pokémon RPGs he would be directing. This list was BS* in September and still is after Lets Go has been added. Ever since trainers discovered the shiny Gyarados in the Lake of Rage, they have been searching for shiny Pokémon. The guy says something like "...why you..." and there's jus something about that part that I love. I mentioned Gen 2 as my favorite. USUM I feel deserves the bottom spot. MaKeS sEnSe! @HollowGrapeJ I think the XY legendaries are my favourites! B/W had seasonal cycles and added roatation battles and tripple battles while also being the first game with fully animated monsters, and with its sequel they are the only games with fully animated sprites.Personally, I also like the idea of not encountering old Pokémon until you cleared the game and N's castle as the finale. @Krisi tbh xd and collusem feel a more main series then yellow version dose considering that yellow version is more anime based. I really don't get what the big deal about it is but almost everyone seems to think of it as a gamechanger when it's really not. @Aloy I agree, I really don't like Black and White. I began playing Pokemon almost at the beginning, with Pokemon Yellow being my first official title I laid my hands on, but I would NOT rank it so highly today. Outrageous! Pokémon X is my absolute most played game on the 3DS with a whopping 497 hours of playing. It is the pre-evolution of the first-ever pseudo-legendary Pokémon. This is mostly due to its type resistance. It concentrates on the core collect/battle/trade ethos of the series without all the extraneous features that have bloated the series over the years, like Beauty contests, hidden bases and film studios. Hard to obtain Pokemon I just traded for which I suppose is the purpose of making them difficult to get. Here are the ten best Grass-type Pokémon, going all the way back to Kanto. It worries me that people would either be less intelligent and need the hand holding or perhaps they are insulting the intelligence of gamers by assuming they can't play the challenging games of old.
