- From Pokemon Red and Blue to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, this is EVERY mainline Game Ranked from worst to best!
Do you agree with my rankings? What changes would you make?
Make sure you check out some other videos I have on my channel! - Ігри
While I won’t argue against Emerald being number 1, I have Platinum ahead of it for the lore and story. It still has the Battle Frontier, the physical special split makes team building for the Frontier much more enjoyable (imo) and I feel Platinum actually made a decent attempt at balancing the starters (compared to DP at least) while it felt Emerald just made Swampert better when it was already the best starter (Blaziken loses its Steven matchup while Sceptile’s mid-game is still sketchy at best)
Blasphemy saying Red & Blue were bad
They are thon
They were terrible games. Just because you enjoyed them when you were 7 doesn't change that.
They were trash games-
@@godclodsire you’re comparing it to today’s standards… this game was revolutionary cuz there was no game like it. These games got people hooked way more than any of the newer games
@@bestbigbros1102 true, but don’t like them, b/w2 are my favorite games ever and they are nothing to todays standards
Honestly gen 7 was the best games for me as someone who likes the stories lol, plus all the Pokémon u could get were cute 😍
What part of the story did you like?
@@thatboyminus how guzma was secretly working with lusimine!! There battle themes are quite similar so it was hinted at WAY earlier. I just think it’s kinda neat. Plus the whole necrozma entrance was very cool!
USUM and Gen 5 were hands down the most fun I had on Pokémon games.
@@thatboyminusLusamine being an abusive mother was some of the best writing Pokémon ever had imo. It made Lily and Gladion’s characters very compelling. I agree with you that the Ultra versions are the better games, game play wise. But I hate that they butchered the story and tried to make Lusamine sympathetic. She went from being my favorite villain in the franchise in Sun and Moon, to a confusing mess in Ultra Sun&Moon.
@@TheRedcat14 That wasn't true, lusamine wasn't abusive.
She was neglectful and play favourite towards Lillie.
She was villain because she was neglectful to her child and her obsession with work and pokemon.
I didn't see any evidence she was abusive.
I like how sword and shield is a battle stadium instead of the elite 4
What do you mean?
@@thatboyminuswhat he said. It’s like a tournament instead of the elite 4
@@thatboyminus The tournament.
Dude, I agree with like 99%, that’s awesome. I would only swap SV with Crystal, but I get it. Great vid
So happy to see some love for X and Y. while not in my top 5 (with games like heartgold and black 2), easily the most fun games for replays
sword and shield were the last games I was able to play, I really enjoyed them.
Here's my ranking
1) Heart Gold and Soul silver
2) Diamond and Pearl
3) Fire Red and leaf green
4) Black and White
5) Ruby and Sapphire
6) Black 2 and white 2
7) Gold and Silver
8) Red and Blue
9) Scarlet and Violet
10) Sword and Shield
Honestly while I agree with mostly everything ( swsh is definitely not worse than many of the older gb games), I don’t think thegen 7 games deserve to be that low. I don’t love them sure, but it’s a much more complete game than most of the old games

Great video and list! Just not sure why you think Kanto is linear? You can beat the gyms in a mixed order. That’s super non linear haha
What do you mean?
@@thatboyminus you can do after the 3rd badge as far i know you can do theoritically koga before erica or sabrina before or after koga you need to do the rocket base to do sabrina but idk anymore if you need beat erica to beat the base
@@thatboyminusif im not mistaken after 2nd badge you have plethora of options of gyms you can face at your own choice
Respectfully. Your not old enough to have an opinion. With that being said i appreciate your opinion
I have a suggestion fo a future video. Since you ranked all of the mainline Pokemon games how about you do a similar thing with the Pokemon anime. OS, AG, DP, BW, XY, SM, JN and maybe if you want Horizons.
What’s the worst tho?
@@thatboyminus judging from what seen from your videos id say your least favorite Pokemon series is Black & White which is a shame cause the Black & White games are so great. Really love N’s character arc in both BW 1 & BW2. Imagine if we got Ash vs N in Black & White or maybe in Pokemon Journeys. That would be friking awesome.
This would be my version of Ash vs N (with my version of Ash’s pokemon from the anime)
N’ team
1. Zoroark (ace)
2. Seismitoad
3. Darmanitan
4. Eelektross
5. Ferothorn
6. Sigilyph
Ash’s team
1. Pikachu
2. Lucario
3. Krookodile
4. Arcanine
5. Braviary
6. Serperior
(Id want the battle to end with an epic face-off between N’s Zoroark & Ash’s Lucario, this might be controversial but i wont be having Lucario Mega Evolve but i think id still be epic as hell. Zoroark & Lucario are really similar)
@@thatboyminus Journeys. We were robbed of a real SwSh anime.
@@MagicalCycero BW is worser, Pikachu lost to a Riolu and Snivy there
I stopped watching when u said red and blue are the 3rd worst game… come on
Pokémon have come a long way since Red and Blue and Red and Green Anyways it’s his opinion not yours

Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee
Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl
Legends Arceus
Scarlet and Violet
Z-moves are the worst gimmick by far but i thoroughly enjoyed sun, moon, ultra sun, and ultra moon. Also the key to beating Brock in pokemon yellow is not pikachu. Its nidoran after learning double kick.
facts
@@theamazingspooderman2697 I became friends with my friend cade because he was playing pokemon yellow. His pikachu got above level 20 and was still losing to Brock and his onix and geodude. I told him to go back to viridian forest and look for a nidoran. I told him to level it up til it learned double kick. He caught a female nidoran. He leveled it up til it learned double kick. He challenged Brock then and won easily. We've been friends since. That was in 2010. He later fully evolved his nidoran to a nidoqueen. It was his ace for the rest of the game. The remakes of yellow let's go eevee and let's go pikachu fixed this issue by having pikachu and eevee naturally learn double kick by training.
@@brockgrubb2605 you can also catch a Mankey in Pokemon Yellow before Brock if I remember correctly
@@theamazingspooderman2697 yes it's on the route between viridian city and the indigo plateau reception gate. But I dont know if it learns fighting type moves before level 20.
I always used Butterfree to deal with Brock in Yellow as a kid, three confusions and he's down. And I also enjoyed SM USUM just those first couple hours are a total chore.
Red and Blue is unplayable but Scarlet and Violet is "just a little unpolished". Good lord someone save this boy.
People have selective memory. Generation 4 vanilla games are objectively bad. The generation did not get good until platinum and the gen 2 remakes. The gen 4 remakes are not bad because of out sourcing and laziness. It’s because pearl and diamond was always bad.
bro spoke facts, finally someone not drowning in nostalgia
Diamond and pearl was the games that made debate if I liked pokemon anymore. I eventually got over it, but always left a bad taste in my mouth when people talk about bdps. Because platinum was the good game and we knew these were being remakes of the bad ones but it is still imo better thenthe original and I would rather go boot up my copy of brilliant diamond then my gen 4 diamond.
I’ll be the one to say it- Platinum is hardly better. Like the additions they made to the story; yes, absolutely. But it HARDLY runs faster than D&P, it’s still a friggen slog. And whenever people bring up HM’s, my mind immediately goes to gen 4 as #1 worst.
Yeah these games made me realize how bad DP really were. But BDSP were worse because they came out in 2021
No they’re not lol the remakes are bad because they were minimal effort. Diamond and pearl are slow but not bad games get out
Red and blue unplayable??!!...only if you glitch them on purpose....so.e of the coding is wonky but it doesn't stop you playing and completing the game.......
I think gen 7 (Alola) will rank higher and higher on people’s lists as time goes on. Everything you said about them is true; the hand holding and cutscenes really suck. But the story itself is top tier imo, one of the best in the franchise. Probably why I hold gen 5 and 7 in higher regards than most people do
You saying Scarlet and Violet have forgettable music made me question if you were on something
Why?
Area zero is cool but I’ve played it twice recently and don’t remember any other songs. The gym songs were cool but were a worse version of sword and shield gym songs
@@thatboyminusAll the Team Star music (grunts, bosses, Penny) Area Zero, the Academy Tournament, Arven’s theme, plus all of the dynamic music that changes on routes (each one has its own theme for morning/night, riding/walking, and battle/exploration).
The S/V soundtrack might not be the best of the entire series, I’m not sure which one is. But it definitely deserves to be in the conversation.
This is surprisingly... a really good list. I dont completely agree with the actual tier list placement of a few games but honestly, it's extremely fair.
You mind expanding on this a bit?
Oh boy,i do not agree with like 90% of your list.
Which picks would you change?
That’s what an opinion is
I think Heartgold and Soulsilver should be at the top but our opinions can differ as I'm a 90s guy so for me the old Kanto and Johto region gives nostalgia feeling.
@@DarkCastleBoy why because it's the ONLY pokemon game where you need to grind for 12 hours from lvl 38 to lvl 50 after beating Clair??!
If you don't have an ice move you would most likely need to go to lvl 55
It was INSANE
@@IcycleBicycle 🤣🤣🤣 I feel that pain man but as a Veteran after playing Pokemon for ages We need challenges like that. Bro Have u ever Battled the OG Red and his Pikachu now that's brutal 😵
I stop at red/ blue. saying those game are bad ,then you will not like every pokemon game, because that is still the core gameplay of pokemon. I get that you started gaming when HD and 4k reso are a thing , but back then, those graphics are insane. IF the OG game were that 'bad' we wont reach gen9🤣
Personally, I would play BDSP any day of the week over DP.
But I would play Platinum any day of the week over BDSP.
This is the way
Finally someone gets it
Same. BDSP was actually not as bad as everyone makes it out to be
@@TokyoLeeeNo. BDSP is trash.
@@ReagwinplaysRPGs it is bad but you seriously think diamond and pearl better ?
Those garbage are so slow as hell and crash very often which makes it unplayable.
Atleast BDSP somewhat playable but definitely not better than most of the games tho.
A list that doesn't put HGSS on the top is automatically a bad ranking list
Pokemon black and white were the first games of the series I played
I honestly can never understand the hate for Sword and Shield
In my opinion, this would be my tier list (not counting third versions and remakes):
10. Scarlet and Violet
Despite Hydrapple and Archaludon being my favorite two Pokémon, these games are not good. Buggy as heck, and Paradox Pokémon are just reskins of older Pokémon from Gen 1-5.
9. Gold and Silver
Johto is not the worst region, but has a terrible Pokedex. Some Pokémon were awful (Sunflora) and most of the good ones (Tyranitar) are locked in Kanto. Also, Team Rocket has no reason to be here.
8. Diamond and Pearl
Again, good region with diversity, but not a great Pokedex. (Only 2 Fire types?) Team Galatic was underwhelming. And most Trainers use Pokémon from Gen 1-3.
7. Red and Blue (Green in Japan)
Unbalanced thanks to the combined Special stat.
6. Sun and Moon
I don't like most of the Pokémon here (especially Incineroar). Totem Pokémon battles aren't a good replacement of gyms. And cutscenes were a major problem. But there are some positives. Lillie, Guzma, the Professor, Gladion, and Lusamine are great characters. Battle Royales were kinda fun.
5. X and Y
Mega Evolution was awesome, but the games were too easy.
4. Black and White
Limited to only using Gen 5 mons (excluding events), but that's not a bad thing. Unova has some great Pokémon (Krookodile, Haxorus). The story was great, and N is a great character. The region is straightforward, though.
3. Ruby and Sapphire
The Hoenn Region is very diverse, and the games have great characters (Steven, Wally). Most Pokémon are great, but there are some exceptions (Luvdisc).
2. Black 2 and White 2
The sequels to BW, and the region of Unova is expanded in both geography and Pokedex. Excellent story, great post-game, and features my favorite Mascot Legendary, Kyurem! These games would be my favorite if it wasn't for Pokestar Studios being mandatory...
1. Sword and Shield
Yes, these games are linear, but the Galar Region has some very good Pokémon (Centiskorch, Duraludon). Dynamaxing was awesome. The characters are very diverse. Sure, there isn't really much to the story, but the cutscenes aren't as plentiful as in SM, and there aren't nearly as many glitches as in SV. The Gym Leaders are the possibly the toughest Trainers ever (Raihan especially), and Leon is no pushover either. Mustard is also very tough, since he owns a Legendary. Galar has some of the best Legendary Pokémon (Zacian, Regileki, Urshifu-Rapid Strike, Calyrex-Shadow). The only downfall is the Gym Badge restriction limiting the level of Pokémon you can catch in the wild. Also, these are the first ever major games to not feature all existing Pokémon, but let's be honest, not every older Pokémon was great (Unown). Max Raids were fun (let's not talk about the AI Trainers though). Wild Pokémon were interactive in the Wild Area (and not in a glitchy way like in SV). Lastly, Galar itself has some great towns to visit (Ballonlea).
Woah… sword and shield at 1?
I was surprised myself, but yes.
I was pretty happy looking at your ranking till I saw the number 1 spot. There’s no universe in which SwSh should be at 1 but I guess opinions are opinions.
I'm so happy about Galar being at one!! 😊
@@MagicalCycero Thank you!! ❤️
Finally broooo!! Was waiting for your ranking, keep the vids coming you’re killing it
Yes! What do you think of these rankings?! Any changes?
@@thatboyminus 9. Red blue green yellow. 8 heart gold soul silver. 7. Omega ruby alpha sapphire. 6. BDSP 5. Black white. 4. X Y 3. Sun moon. 2. Shield Sword 1. Lets go pikachu lets go eevee. 0. SCARLET AND VIOLET!!! ( in the 0 because they are so GOOD) ( BEST POKÉMON GAMES EVER)
Personally, I think they at least improved the grand underground in bdsp
True. But is that enough to earn then any higher spot?
@@thatboyminus personally, I would put it about let’s go pikachu/Eevee. But I admit neither one of them are the greatest
BDSP also had challenging boss battles and charming graphics. Not the best games ever, but they still have redeeming qualities.
@@wikiuser92No. Just play Platinum. BDSP suck.
People only hated brilliant diamond and shining pearl because the chibi art style it had for it.
Like really 🤨😂🤣
However there is two different things that could've made bdsp better imo. And that is
Added the Platinum battle frontier into the game.
Or
Added mega evolution into the game. The only Pokémon that would have been missing is mega Audino because of Unova, and mega Diancie of because kalos. Other than that, all the mega evolutions are pretty much scattered through generations, 1 through 4 Pokémon.
I had fun with SwSh. I guess its an acquired taste... or bias.
I liked them too. I've found something to like about every Pokémon game I've played.
13 reasons why BDSP are the WORST remakes of all time:
1. Faithfulness: Unlike other remakes, BDSP literally copy/pastes 90% of diamond/pearl(2006). You cannot copy almost everything from a 2006 game.. (Remember its a remake not a remaster!). Almost everything is copied: All dialogs, the storyline, the chibi art style, the national dex, old pokemon encounters and even the Poketch were copy & pasted to this game. Pokemon games have been improved in the past years and had many quality of life changes like 3D art style, overworld Pokemon encounters and reusable TMs. None of these changes were adapted to the game which is just sad. This game is too faithful and faithful sounds more like a excuse for lazyness.
2. Not-Platinum-Based: So they copy & pasted 90% from the old Sinnoh game but not based on Platinum? Diamond & Pearl had several weaknesses and Platinum fixed many of them and included many Quality of Life changes. Here are some Platinum improvements over Diamond/Pearl: It extends the storyline with additional content, new dialogs, new characters like Charon and a new map Distortion world (loved it). The rival was a bit too weak in Diamond/Pearl which was fixed in Plat. The Poketch has a reverse Button. It has the battle frontier. And finally: the Sinnoh dex which was baaad in Dia/Pearl was fixed. The bad sinnoh dex in dia/pearl has only very few Fire Pokemon (very weird). Gym leaders were forced to use weird mons in the main game like Electric gym leader using Octillery or IceType gym leader using Medicham (WTF? Despite Sinnoh having enough Ice/Electric mons) and also many sinnoh mons were restricted to the postgame. Thats means many of the favourite sinnoh mons cannot be used in your team for the main story. But Platinum fixed this issue and created a NEW sinnoh dex which fixed all these issues which made the main story like a sinnoh game. ALL of these great changes of Platinum where NOT included in BDSP. This means BDSP uses the OLD sinnoh dex, OLD dialogs, OLD storyline, NO new character like Charon, NO distortion world and NO battle frontier. That makes BDSP a worse Sinnoh remake than Platinum which was released in 2008. (Imagine a 2008 DS game of the same Region beats you in ALL aspects. WTF)
3. EXP-Share & Friendship-System: One of the most hated features is the EXP-Share system which often leads to WAY more exp than in the past games. In my opinion, the EXP-Share is not too bad. BUT diamond/pearl were not designed to be played with the new EXP-Share system. So if you include an EXP-Share system, you have to increase all levels of the pokemon (from opponent). But they didnt which makes the difficulty of this game too easy.Basically, my whole team was too oveleveled. And the friendship-system is the worst luck-based system i ever saw. A feature that increases the Critical hit-chance,removes paralysis, lets me dodge 100% accurate moves and even lets me survive moves with 1HP. WTF did you smoke gamefreak? And the worst is that, you cannot make any of these optional. Because of that many players who love to do a nuzzlock in Sinnoh, prefer the old DS games.
4. No Innovation: This game not only copy & pastes the majority of its content, it adds nothing new to the game. Lets review some good remakes: HeartGold/SoulSilver (HG/SS) were Gen 2 remakes and included some storyline from Crystal and added many new stuff like the pokeathlon, battle frontier (from sinnoh), gen 1 map/storyline, a complete national dex and the pokewalker. HG/SS were not copy & pasted, but actually remade the game and added good new stuff. Also Alpha ruby&omega saphire (ORAS) have new changes like new art-style , new designs for Team magma/aqua, new Mega-forms, new Primal forms, changes to dialogs and storyline and the complete national dex. BDSP on the other hand does not provide any kind of major change in the game which makes this game really boring. It does have a new Underground which has overworld pokemon, but that is nothing special for 2022 and the ramanas park was neat but nothing too exciting.
5. Underground/Super-Contest: The old underground allowed to create your own living room with furnitures and set traps to troll friends online. Both were removed for a statue system which is really boring. Collecting statues and the effects of the statues are really disapointing. The Super-Contest used to be a fun-mode where you had many different options and varities and had to have good reflexes to do
the correct moves at the correct time. Now all you have to do is Press A at the correct time and use 1 attack. That makes this mode so boring and disapointing. I mean, was it really that hard to let the player press like 4 different buttons instead of just 'A'??
6. Art-Style: Many of us expected a modern review of Sinnoh in a 3D human like Art-style. But they decided to go for the Chibi-Art-Style. Everyone has different tastes but in my opinion the Chibi-Art-Style ruins many serious moments of the story line of this game, especially vs team galactic. It feels like all the emotions of the characters were removed. The reason why it was used in Diamond/Pearl was because of the limited hardware. In my opinion the Chibi-Art-Style waas the wrong decision and does not suit a switch game at all.
7. Only Gen 4: BDSP has a national dex which includes the pokemon from Gen 1-4 which is basically the same as Diamond/Pearl. As a player who would have loved to see at least some Pokemon from Gen 5-8 in Sinnoh, i am very disappointed. At least some Pokemon post Gen4, or some new forms or at least add Sylveon in this game. Not even mega-forms were included in this game. The fact that 95% of the megas are from Gen1-4 and the underground being the perfect place to grind the mega-stones, makes this decision even more disapointing. The reason why diamond/pearl was limited to Gen 1-4 was because there werent any other new pokemon. The reason why BDSP limited the game to Gen 1-4 is because of lazyness..
8. PVP: On of the worst things in this game is everything arround PVP. The worst disrespect a main series pokemon game can get, is when GameFreak calls that all the competitive tournaments including the world championship will not take place in BDSP (WTF?). Unlike Sword/Shield, you have no option to search for PVP matches which makes it way harder to find battles. But the worst thing is the grind for a PvP team: TMs are not reusable (WHY?!). For some important TMs like Earthquake, you have to grind for 80BP (WTF. Thats a lot of Grind). Also you cannot catch pokemon with hidden abilities except those from poke radar. To get the hidden ability you have to grind for the ability patch for 200BP (WTF. Grind competitive to create a competitive. Nice system). By putting important PVP items behind such ridiculously high grind walls, it makes creating a PVP team disgusting.
9. Events: The events were also copy & pasted from Diamond/Pearl. Same Shaymin event, same Darkrai event. And other events are only accesible if you bought other main series pokemon game (Why..). And finally some garbage "events" which include some useless statues. Meanwhile, the 3 year old SW/SH getting better and innovative events like new PVP cups/tournaments and some legendary shinies. In my opinion the events in BDSP are disapointing.
10. Bugs/Glitches: Holy Moly! This game had so many bugs and glitches! You dont even need hacks, when the game itself has to many glitches. Many of them where completely broken. Many Pokemon clone glitches and item dupe glitches ruined the game. You could even get infinity money, create your own shinies (WTF), make your pokemon 6IV and let any Pokemon learn any move. I used to be in a discord for trading in BDSP and because of the glitches, the trade market was only about getting shiny 6IVs etc. Not to forget to mention the soft locks which made you restart the whole game which can happen for example in the ice gym. Usually every games has a few bugs. But this one had too many and too many game breaking glitches. A very hyped game like this shouldnt be developed by a 3rd party company.. But Gamefreak had other plans..
11. Controls: The controls of this game feel weird and uncomfortable. Characters move in a grid which looks so weird during the storyline. The pokemon who follow me often block me in a bad way. The underground has many inivisible walls which makes moving in some rooms horrible. And finally the control with the cycle are the worst. The cycle in pokemon games are a beloved feature but in this game.. It feels so uncomfortable moving with the cycle, I sometimes even prefer walking.
12. Standards: A 2021 game should adapt the standards from the latest games (Sword 2019). The BDSP-standard isnt nearly as good as Sword/Shield. Many items, many attack moves, renewable TMs, dynamax, new pokemon, old moves without heart scales, more customization,max Raids or ranked battle stadium. None of the mentioned were adapted into this game -> BIG Downgrade for 2021 pokemon standards!
13. Price: Dia/pearl/Platinum: 40$ and Copy/Paste BDSP with Bugs:60$ -> Bruh..
Conclusion: It feels like GameFreak didnt want to do a Sinnoh remake but wanted to milk some money by releasing the highly demanded Sinnoh remake. The fact that, they hired a 3rd party company who never developed a major game, only supports this theory. Not forget to mention that, BDSP had a giant day one patch which was essential to enjoy the game. The fact that they released Legends Arceus almost 1-2 months after BDSP release also supports the theory, that they didnt care at all for this remake. Because of the release of Legends Arceus, the hiring of ILCA, the amount of glitches, the boring events, the exclusion of VGC, the 0 Innovation in this game and the fact that the majority of the game is copy & paste of a 2006 game (Dia/Pearl) which is worse than a 2008 Game (Platinum), makes this game the worst remake of all time in my opinion.
Crazy how the advanced versions of diamond and pearl are almost 10 spots below the worse versions
What do u mean?
@@thatboyminus BDSP is literally the better diamond and pearl. The only difference being the vast amount of glitches, faster speed, exp share, and superior grand underground.
@@nep7939 BDSP biggest issue was the dumb friendship mechanic where at max happiness your pokemon would live through multiple super effective attacks and self cure status conditions etc.. ruining any sense of challenge. Diamond and Pearl are bad but still better than BDSP, though there is no reason to play DP or BDSP when Platinum exists.
@@steve24125 Cynthia is literally harder than both Platinum Cynthia and DP Cynthia and you say there is no challenge 😂
@@nep7939No. BDSP are trash.
You ever thought about ranking every Pokemon movie?
I have. What do u think should be number 1?
@@thatboyminusThe first 3 are all so good it’s hard to choose from them alone 😭
@thatboyminus I like this vid idea. Low key, there are so many movies that everyone has their own opinion about. For me I got darkrai but lucario, spell of the unown, are other great options
@@yolohernadez2991 i haven’t seen every Pokemon movie. The ones I have seen were Movie’s 1,6,8,10,15,17, & 20. Some i have started but haven’t finished like movies 2,3,5,7,9,12, & 16. However i don’t count Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution as thats just a CGI remake of Movie 1 which i much prefer the OG Mewtwo Strikes back & I’m sure everyone agrees with that.
@@thatboyminusMovie 3.
Hgss only at 5 is such a good take. Johto is so overrated. Boring storyline, horrible dex, and bad level curve. Features are the only positive of this game
Some of my least favourite games aren't games I necessarily despise but they're also games that are held back by some major problem for me
I'm not saying I LOVE BDSP but I don't hate it either. They're just whatever to me. I will at least take BDSP over regular Diamond and Pearl any day but yeah I heavily agree they should have done far more with it, like with ORAS. A more expanded plot, a new twist on the sinnoh legendaries and more platinum Pokemon and content would have made the games TONS better. The only reason I replay them is so I can play sinnoh in the modern era and that's literally it. There's no other way to cos Arceus is set in the Hisui region which even though it's technically sinnoh, still isn't the same and they didn't do a remake of platinum. Speaking of Legends Arceus, that's the next game I don't hold in as high regard as most people.
Legends Arceus is beyond overhyped. It's in the mid to low C Tier for me and a big reason is the forced implementation of the Pokedex. I really don't like having to catch several Pokemon that I'm not even going to use just for the sake of progression. It's like Let's Go but set in the past and that just doesn't sit well for me. I tried filling out the Dex in Black 2 but it was a chore and besides my starter I had no real connection to anything I caught along the way. Pokemon are supposed to be creatures you train and raise to be the best they can be, not to mention bond with, not collector's items. Yeah Hisui itself is cool and I do like the story of traversing the land and quelling the noble Pokemon, but that alone is enough of a good story. We shouldn't have to catch random Pokemon and fill up a cursed Dex just to get anywhere in the game. I don't care if it is the first Pokedex, we don't need it to be forced in what's otherwise a pretty solid game. Also I don't hear people talk about this problem enough: Arceus himself. You know, the Pokemon whose name is literally in the title of the game and sends you to Hisui in the first place. Yeah screw that and how about we don't focus on him and wait til the end of the post game to make him actually relevant again? That's absolutely unacceptable for a Pokemon whose name is in the title of the game. Let's Go actually made their titular Pokemon more important. We could have encountered Arceus at various points in the story and even saved or teamed up with him during the climax, but no, they could not even give us that. I don't mind the hall of origin stuff after the main story but still, they could have brought this forward to the end of the story if they wanted to and it would have been fine. Also I hate the battle system in that game. It's more annoying cos there's more uncertainty of when you can actually attack and sometimes you might not get to do ANYTHING by the time your opponent is done
And Let's Go, yeah aside from the aesthetics, it's not all that great. Too much catching to the point you have to somewhat fill out the Dex to get anywhere at certain points, but at least it's got more battling than legends Arceus does. And it doesn't have the annoying battle system Legends Arceus introduced
Emerald has too much Water and no day/night cycle to be considered the best. HG/SS,BW2 & Platinum are all better games..
bro, you need a therapist at least sword and shield is not like Scarlet and Violet sword and shield with its number 3 Scarlet and violet is No 20 Scarlet and violet, destroyed the animations but sword and shield had the best animations like sword and shield is the one of the best Nintendo switch games my favorite is let’s go Pikachu and Eevee due to mega evolutions. So yeah, you’re gonna have to change some stuff.
I'm glad the community is all on the same page with these new games; There is a great game under all the crap they handed us and they clearly needed more time in development.
The hard part will be if Game Freak actually hears us when we tell them "Take your time"
sword and shield is too low, Sun and Moon and USUM are better than X and Y, fire red and leaf green are better than let's go but not by much, and both emerald and platinum are not the two best games in the series. i would probably have them lower than 5 respectfully imo.
My most nostalgic pokemons are emerald fire/green, and flora sky, after glazed. Idk but last 2 seems to me to underrated
tbh imo
I’ve never played Legends Arcues so I have no opinion on that game, however utter than that the Sinnoh remakes BDSP are alright there not horrible or forgettable something like idk Superman 64 or Mario is Missing
And there not amazing like Super Mario Bros 3 or Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire
however there really not that bad as people put them out to be, I’m almost done with Brilliant Diamond and it’s alright
Ramanas park is a cool feature
and you can get the Gen 1, 2 and 3 starters in the underground world
like bulbasaur charmander squirtle cyndaquil chikorita todadile torchic and Mudkip
I mean that’s pretty cool and
ILCA did a pretty good job designing the game
I think it’s pretty nice that Nintendo gave ILCA a chance to partner up with them to create a Sinnoh remake
But asides from that, Pokemon BDSP is decent although ngl I’ll admit they should’ve put a platinum episode like how ORAS had there own special post game Delta Emerald
If Nintendo were to add a Plantium episode after beating the Elite 4 and champion With a brand new update to the Distortion World like how you said it in the video
Would give me much more to work with for BDSP, however at the end of the day these Sinnoh remakes aren’t really all that wow
It’s not something that I would go back to and play it for like the 4th or 5th time, unless the original Pokémon Sinnoh games are to expensive or if you really miss playing a Pokémon Sinnoh video game and + they are some DS emulators or roms that could bring viruses to phones, laptops or tablets.
Play legends Arceus and you’ll wish you never played BDSP.
Not trying to be rude but if you wasn’t born in the 90s there’s no reason for you to talk or review the old school games 🤦🏻 you had to be there to really catch the magic in them
Ive only played 3 pokemon games fully being emerald y and omega ruby and for me my fav be emerald then omega ruby then y im currently bout play dimond since my vrother gave me it and i never managed get through pokemon moon begining bit.
Ik this is ur opinion but ur opinion is ass lowkey 😂😂😂 sun and moon were the best story line ever and its an attention span issue if u dont like them, sword and sheilds map was boring but the gameplay and battling made it so fun to play
Platinum is always going to be my favorite to play we need a remake for it that and if they do it i hope its good
what about pokemon colosseum and pokemon xd:gale of darkness? this is NOT every pokemon game. you lied.
Mystery Dungeon games as well
It might’ve been because I came down with a bad case of Ligma. I apologize.
The sinnoh games are my hated generation. Alola became my new hated region until brilliant diamond and shiny pearl reminded me of my hate for that region.
I hate Gen 4 too
Mewtwo X is the better Mewtwo. I have watched your your Mewtwo form short and Mewtwo X is better than M2 Y easily.
I like challenging Pokémon games. So my fav is red n blue. Or silver n gold. I stopped playing the newer ones like X n y because, Childs play.
Those games are ridiculously easy, lol.
How about you play Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire. They’re great.
How about you play until generation 8. They’re great.
The only thing that I strongly disagree about, is that you said the Paldean music is forgettable. I can hear the main melody playing in my head right now. W Toby Fox
What melody?
@@thatboyminus Don’t you know the South Province music theme aka the main melody of the game. You can’t tell me that isn’t memorable.
all I remember is the ed Sheeran song
@@thatboyminus that song isn’t even part of the game
So if your last time playing was in 2002 ruby and sapphire should I get emerald or platinum or white 2
I've played all of them. I recommend you to do platinum first; normally, I'd recommend emerald but the fact that you've already played Ruby/Sapphire, I personally believe Platinum is going to be a good experience for playing after a long time.
@@shrawon3605 thanks bro true to that !
not controversial at all most plain npc ranking of pokemon games
How so?
@@thatboyminus there was nothing controversial in your video
@@thatboyminus stop doing the robot comments
@@Wubby69tbh kinda makes sense
The best kanto games are firered and leafgreen.
No love for coliseum or XD? Or are these considered spin offs?
Sword and shield should be higher but I agree with most this list
Sword and Shield was quality id have to disagree with it at 20 😅
Emerald is GOAT!
We all know Pokemon colosseum was a real man’s Pokemon game
Umm. What makes bdsp worse than the original diamond and Pearl? Like honestly, we all know they are better than diamond and Pearl. There’s no arguing that they are not. There is an argument for platinum of course, and in terms of expectations and how good they were for their time, bdsp is worse, but it should just be in terms of how good they are on the base level. I guess nostalgia also plays a role which just gives people a better memory of the old games like diamond and pearl.
I got Violet and so far I've been feeling like it's my favorite Pokemon game. I've had the most fun with that one, especially because at a certain time they DID put out some downloadable bug fixes for both of those games which take place in the Paldea region. So I'm glad that I got that game after those bug-fixes became available to download. There's still an amount of things wrong with that game, they didn't fix all the bugs and other problems, but I didn't encounter the worst glitches that everyone else was complaining online about. I decided to skip the DLC because when I heard that there wasn't any bug fixes for that part of those games, I figured that I should save the amount of money that the DLC costs for something that would be more worth-it to pay for. I skiped BD/SP too because after I heard about how many annoying problems that those games have, I figured that they wouldn't be worth the price either.
Excellent video!
its hard out here being an alola fangirl
After four ridiculous videos I finally found a tier list that is at the very least agreeable for me. Thanks for making this video! Overall I identify with the list, I just can't agree to how high you placed Scarlet and Violet, and I also don't think Crystal is that much better than Gold/Silver, although the thing that I can't really support is to how low you placed Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. All things considered, they are still pretty solid games, and definitely better that the new Gen9 garbage games. But regardless, I still appreciate how the middle and higher ranks in the list are pretty much reasonable and I completely agree with how good Platinum and Emerald are.
Meloetta is my favourite Pokémon of all time xd
(I get your criticism though!)
Gen 2,4, and 5 mean the world to me.
Nostalgia makes all the difference when it comes to lists such as this. This guy sounds like he's in his mid twenties. So he' gonna place gen 3 and 4 the highest. Now let's watch the video and see if I'm right.
Nemona’s theme slaps though
This is a weird layout of a ranking. You should just go in order and use the tier chart
What do you mean?
@@thatboyminus you know how UA-camrs make tier lists? That would be a better ranking system for the future, if you want of course.
@@thatboyminusnever mind I just seen the end 29:12 sorry
I put a tier list at the end!
@@thatboyminus I know.
Although I disagree with some of your choices, I do understand that people can have different opinions. Thanks for sharing yours
I do agree with your sinnoh taste I grew up with Gen 4 and you’re right they’re are the best region of all time this deserves a like.
😢now I feel left out:( I didn’t start with gen 4 because I was not born yet and I started playing Pokémon in. 2019 and so j only played the remake on the switch
@@Thatgirljesi11yeah I don’t hate the remake shocker I know it’s just disappointing I wished it did add mega that would of been cool
@@PikaStarsStudio yea l do kinda like mega Since it was in let go
@@Thatgirljesi11yeah yeah I like mega’s aswell that would be crazy cythina garchomp mega evolution would be crazy difficult
I prefer sword and shield over scarlet and violet atleast it has good pokemon and good starters plus got more time to develop than shitty scarlet and voilet, But the story was ass sword and shield is eh for me and the animation for the character is quite slow
You forgot to mention that johto personified Japan. Pretty sure as homage and that gives it points in itself
Great list tho tbh
gen 1 unplayable? lol
Emerald is garbage
Gonna be honest that’s either the least controversial tier list I’ve seen or we have the exact same opinions…we have the same opinions don’t we lol
Scarlet and Violet are definitely saved by dlc but it should be higher still, higher than x/y
never rank again bro, you basically picked the most non-controversial list to keep the nostalgic pokemon fans happy as literally the first few minutes are enough to tell that, explain in what way BDSP are inferior to DP? we get more fire types in BDSP, better Poke Radar, improved movesets, harder battles, beautiful backgrounds, no HM slave, following pokemons, clothing options, hardest Champion ever ie. Cynthia with competitive sets and items, faster battles, Grand Underground while DP lacks all of those, yet BDSP is somehow inferior?
also you say the story for Red and Blue is bad even though among the first three generations, it literally has the best story, Gen 3's story is two man childs fighting for dumb reasons and that is somehow a good story to you than Red and Blue?
Bro I picked the good games 😂 don’t be mad
@@thatboyminus Diamond and Pearl are the worst pokemon games by far
@@theamazingspooderman2697How about you play Platinum. BDSP suck.
Gen 9 sucks
People who love Pokemon Colosseum and XD were sad at the end of this video
I don’t care what people say, I enjoyed BDSP & SW&SH. That’s my opinion so live with it.
L opinion I fear
@@thatboyminus what does that even mean?
@@thatboyminus your channel is a big L 😂
I'm happy BDSP has some fans and fellow Galar fans are always welcome! 😊
I really enjoyed swsh but bdsp was a disgrace
Emerald should also have their elite four and champion have rematch teams IMO
For me since I never played the older generations and only the switch games here is my
5 Sword and Shield
4 brilliant diamond and shining pearl
3 legends arceus
2 let go eevee (i haven’t finished let go pikachu yet)
1 scarlet and violet
Something I don’t understand is how you think Sword and Shield is worse than BDSP.
@@kailesperance1922 that mostly because I never played the gen 4 games
Pokemon Scarlet is the first game I've ever returned to the store
Hi
Heartgold and platinum were excellent
Sw&Sh story line is just silly from whay i remeber.
better than Gen 3 story
@@theamazingspooderman2697lol what? 😂
@@alijohar4937 what was the story of Gen 3 again? two man childs fighting over dumb stuff
Pokemon emerald is a better game than ruby and sapphire but it's far from being the best.
The mediocre story and characters that the game has like your rival,gym leaders and evil team.
The fact that many Pokemon from gen 3 are actually bad and their moveset sucks,there is no physical and special split which makes everything worse.
Worst in mine opinion sun/moon.
How’s your vocal cords?
Platinum > emerald
Well, obviously you’re going to say. Ruby and Sapphire or Diamond and Pearl when in reality it’s Gold and Silver and Red and Blue and Yellow.
2nd 🎉
I’m still kinda new to this franchise, so thanks for making this list, it helped me decide the best games to try without needing to buy 5 different consoles.
In short, all thats needed is a DS lite and a Nintendo switch to play every region at its best(XY and SM will likely get improved remakes on the switch, so no region is left unexplored for a gamer with just these two consoles)
Exactly! I find the DS era to be the best especially narratively!
A 3DS will still allow you to play gen 4 and 5, as well as gen 6 and 7. Maybe worth considering.
@@geddormor5143 I’ve actually been trying to decide between a DS lite or 3DS for a while now, and considering how the 3DS recently lost access to the Nintendo eshop, it can no longer play GBA games like Pokemon FR/LG or Emerald(the DS lite however still can).
@@sammydroubi6022 Oh wow I didn't realise. I suppose that makes sense then.
Sword and Shield is in Top 10 at least
What, why?!
Idk why, but I agree that sword and shield is underrated.
Black and white and black2 and white2 are the most fun pokemon games and im pumped for remakes.
Legends Arceus story was epic
Great video 😊😊😊
