Yeah 4 with platinum and hg/ss are the best then emerald because it was kinda crazy and then gen 5 don’t know why it’s my opinion but it was the weakest of them all
@@FBI-ff8cknah. I grew up on Gen 3-5 and think Gen 1 & 2 hold up just fine. If you get past the graphics (a product of their time) they are great. You know what’s not a good product of its time? Modern Pokémon’s graphics & performance issues. I don’t think the modern games are bad but they don’t even hold up to the current expectations. Back to Gen 1 & 2, walking speed is no issue with a bike, and 99.9% of glitches you won’t even notice unless you know what they are. Better gameplay and exploration than X/Y & Sw/Sh. Not to mention the most innovative considering they started it all. They are by no means the best, but I certainly think there are great arguments as to why they are by no means the worst either
@@DropShadowinfact X y were seen as the best in 2013 and now are complete jokes on the internet, like what the heck happened? Not saying there bad but why go from loving it to hating it
@@DropShadow Sun and Moon held your hand for the whole game only so that it could lead you through a meh story. XY were cool though, they actually used the 3d effect in some pretty cool ways.
Honestly, I don't think Gold and Silver feel too dated. It's so much more polished than Gen 1 and it looks way nicer. I think I also prefer the region, I just wish the Pokémon had better stats.
Have you ever considered to play ROM hacks? There's some really great ones that "fix" many of the issues that gen 2 had, like Crystal Clear or Crystal Legacy.
I agree with Crystal not being dated, but for Gold and Silver, I disagree. If you wanted to get Arcanine, Starmie, Victreebel, and other non-Moon Stone evolutions, you have to either get lucky with Mystery Gift, or wait until postgame to get those stone evolutions. Gold and Silver doesn’t age well.
*Pokemon Emerald* Music (Trumpets) - Iconic Journey - Land & Sea made it like a big world Starters - Most balanced starters in all gens Story - Excellent Game: 10/10
The coolest feature in Black 2 and White 2 is the PWT, where you could compete in tournaments against tons of characters from the Pokemon games, including Red, Blue and Cynthia
I can agree there. My top 5 would be 1. Emerald 2. HeartGold/SoulSilver 3. Black and White 4. Platinum 5. FireRed/LeafGreen *Note* I haven't played X/Y, Sword and Shield, Black2 and White 2.
I miss the days of going to GameStop, putting your name on the pre-order list and being in line with my mom and older brother to pick up those older games on the day they came out. The Giratina figurine, Lugia and Ho-oh figurine, and going to the McDonald’s or the GameStop for the mystery gifts. Good times. Some of the best parts of my childhood haha
There was a lot of anger towards sword and shield from people like me because we’ve invested all of this time into all of these Pokémon, and were used to being able to transfer them forward from our childhood, etc, and here comes a game that says almost none of these things are going to be going forward. They said that it was going to be too expensive to make the models for it. And then they did end up adding some overtime, and then they put even more behind a DLC pay wall. They just seemed so incredibly disrespectful and did not seem to understand. The player base that has existed, like we were being abandoned. And if you want to say that, the target audience is just the new generation of young children, OK, so then let’s all just stop playing the games? People were less upset with the actual games and more upset with stuff like this. Nintendo forward March meant that their players were left behind in the same game titles because the expectation had been made by them over and over and over that would be transferable going forward. It made people like me to not want to invest more time into the game, because I’m just going to pick up a game and put it down, I may as well play some other game that I get more value out of for something like that, and is honest about it upfront
Wait how could someone put Scarlet and Violet over Let’s Go Pikachu, one is piece a piece of trash technically and shouldn’t even be allowed to sell while the other one is a well made game, even though a bit simplifies for new audiences
I like how SV made the jump into the open world even if it struggles to do its job. Lets go was just a worse version of Kanto to me but i can understand why you would have them swapped :D
@@StrawHatMidas I think you made a few mistakes in your video. I replayed the whole series recently and I think there's a flaw you glazed over in at least SwSh and BW/BW2 but emerald has a huge flaw too. And thats difficulty level especially in endgame. Rayquaza at lvl 70 meant e4 and champion was free in emerald if you used it. By the end of a normal bdsp playthrough my pokemon were 20 lvls overleveled and I didn't even try to do that. Same with sword and shield with the super overleveled super fast thing. Scarlet and violet did handle this better I'll admit. Black 2 endgame is slow and grindy too. Black tower and e4 rm takes countless hours of XP grinding to complete. I think emerald #1 is a given because if you don't use rayquaza it's the best paced game plus has a good flow. But I think b2/w2 above platinum is a bit of a questionable choice. HGSS had such an awful pool of pokemon to use too. If it has better pokemon it can be #1. Black was awful. Omega ruby and alpha sapphire was overleveled entire game even while skipping trainers. Black 2 redeems itself by having you gain significantly less XP if you are higher level than intended.
I love my Brilliant Diamond 💎 The look is so cozy. Underground is fun. Tones of catchable Pokémon. I got a Jirachi at the start. :3 And it has the hardest Elite four for a challenge.
The thing I don’t get about BD & SP is why didn’t they just use platinum as the base and remake that? It’s pretty universally agreed upon that it’s the best version I really doubt anyone would rather play the og Diamond & pearl instead
My Ranking: Heart Gold & Soul Silver Black 2 & White 2 Platinum Legends Arceus Black & White Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Emerald Sword & Shield Fire Red & Leaf Green XD: Gale of Darkness Colosseum Sun & Moon X & Y Let’s Go Pikachu & Let’s Go Eevee Crystal Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl Scarlett & Violet (I didn’t include OG Red & Blue, Gold & Silver, Ruby & Sapphire, Diamond & Pearl, and Yellow because the remakes & enhanced versions just delete the originals for me)
@@jcarr1289I couldn't agree more. Sw and Sh, in my opinion, are F tier. Dynamax just did irreparable damage to that game and I couldn't enjoy it at all
You gained a fan from this video 👍 Sword and Shield are my favorite Pokemon games on Switch and get way too much hate. Also, Emerald is easily the best Pokemon game. Thanks for this 🤘🤘🤘
i feel like the only thing holding me back from enjoying the newest games of pokemon , are that all pokemons in ur party share experience and that the games feels a bit too easy.
1. BW/BW2 2. HG/SS 3. RUBY/SAPHIRE/EMERALD 4. FIRE RED/LEAF GREEN 5. ORAS 6. DIAMOND/PEARL/PLATINUM 7. BDSP 8. RED/BLUE/YELLOW 9. X/Y 10. SUN/MOON 11. LEGENDS ARCEUS AND SO ON... Switch games are easily the worst now they've tried to implement open world features into them with a dulled down 3d model to it all...
BDSP are great games. Original Diamond and Pearl were full of problems that they actually fixed in Platinum version. The only games that ruin the series are the new ones that removed over 200 and something Pokemon from existing.
I think the games were fine but they were so hyped up to be something great and they came out being just OK which made them even worse if you’re going to remake GEN four remake platinum
@@StrawHatMidas Honestly I get where you're coming from, but using that logic is like saying they should have used Emerald Version to Remake Gen 3, instead of Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, and they should have used Crystal Version instead of Gold & Silver for HG/SS. Platinum actually sold the least amount of copies of any Pokemon game, I feel like people were already done with Gen 4 by the time it came out. HGSS were the exception because they brought back Gen 2 into Gen 4.
For me (Best to Worst) 1) Black2 and White2 2) Emerald 3) HeartGold and SoulSilver 4) Platinum 5) Black and White 6) UltraSun and UltraMoon 7) FireRed and LeafGreen 8) Sword and Shield 9) OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire 10) Legends Arceus 11) Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee 12) X&Y 13) Scarlet and Violet 14) Red,Green and Blue 15) Yellow 16) Crystal 17) Gold and Silver 18) Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl 19) Ruby and Sapphire 20) Diamond and Pearl
Sorry but all of the switch titles should be under any of the gameboy-3ds games they actually have care put into them and are paced well while the new games are boarderline unplayable
Nice list, my mainline game region order with best version in brackets (Arceus i consider a spinoff so not in list but great game). 1. Unova (B/W) 2. Galar (Sw/Sh) 3. Paldea (S/V) 4. Hoenn (OR/AS) 5. Kalos (X/Y) 6. Johto (HG/SS) 7. Kanto (LGE/LGP) 8. Sinnoh (BD/SP) 9. Alola (US/UM)
@@StrawHatMidas Platinum is great its the definitive version of Gen 4 on the DS just like how Emerald is the definitive version of gen 3. For the quality of life changes, battle frontier and story additions. However it just feels so good having a classic pokemon experience on modern hardware. I haven't played a pokemon game this much since B2W2
I haven't played Gen 8 or Gen 9 yet. Here's my ranking: 1. Sun and Moon/USUM 2. Black and White 3. Black and White 2 4. Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald 5. X and Y 6. FireRed/LeafGreen 7. Diamond/Pearl/Platinum 8. HeartGold/SoulSilver 9. Gold/Silver/Crystal 10. Red/Blue/Yellow In terms of gens: 1. Gen 7 2. Gen 5 3. Gens 3 and 6 4. Gen 4 5. Gen 2 6. Gen 1 (still great)
Scarlet violet number 1. The ease of ev/iv training, shiny hunting, the terrastilizing gimmick which made for the best strategy of any game. The story was ok and there were some enjoyable characters although I prefer the team rocket type villains. Performance and graphics could be better but I judge a game based on total content and all the aspects at which make the game fun. Needless to say I think there’s more to like about scarlet violet than any other in the series.
What’s crazy is that i was born in 2006 and my most nolstalgic pokémon games are pokémon emerald and pokémon fire red and leaf green because i used to emulate them on my iphone as a kid on GBA4IOS😂 I have hundreds of hours on those games as a kid i love them
You and I think roughly the same but for me the best are the following (in order): - Pokemon SV: Listen, the performance issues and graphic designs do suck, that's a fact. However, it has a good storyline that connects well enough to leave a satisfying experience especially with the DLCs adding more to offer and more locations to explore and mess around in. It is a good start to something we wanted, and also Area Zero exists. - Pokemon X & Y: I do not understand how people hated it when it was a lesser Gen 5, but still good enough *for the time*. I understand Gen 7 improves graphics, but it's like Gen 4 and Gen 5. Leap in quality sure, but it's still a good experience. Plus IT GAVE US MEGA EVOS - Pokemon Black & White 2: I recently reviewed BW part 1, and I love that game a lot, but B2W2 really goes far and beyond in the content and battling. More Pokemon, Colress, the PWT, it had so much to do after the main campaign that it was insane. - Pokemon HGSS & Platinum: I have these as a tie for me because these Pokemon made me a fan of the mainline games. HGSS was my first Johto experience and I loved the additional stuff they did as a remake to GSC. Platinum, sure it's slow but it was everything as a kid. The story was fun. The Pokemon felt complete in its roster, and the music transcends time and space (lol). - Pokemon Legends Arceus: To me, this is what Pokemon should have been from the beginning of the Switch's era. It is the best looking 3D Pokemon, the mechanics are so well done, the battling si INCREDIBLE, and it was a good adventure that gave you the feeling of revisiting Sinnoh again but experiencing something entirely new in the process.
#1 Emerald #2 BW2 #3 HgSs #4 Platinum All easily top 4 games, put them in any order, but this is my preference. The only huge flaw these games really have is that HMs really suck to play around. BW2 is the best about not needing HMs for every route and you can do with having HM mons in the PC for most of a playthrough, so I'm placing it higher. Same reason why platinum is lower, introducing rock climb for some reason. Emerald gets a pass on dive because I'm biased and started playing Gen 3. For the rest of the list I'm ignoring any version of a game that's a strict downgrade. Games like DP, ORAS, etc. are just going to clutter up the list as well as just being hard to rank amongst other gens. #5 Fire red and leaf green. Kanto is just an amazing region, and this is the best way to play through it. #6 Scarlet and Violet are a little over hated, personally I rarely had performance issues aside from the lake area. The game isn't perfect but it's a lot of fun and it's a fresh take on the series. The map is very fun to explore, and I love that battles take place on the actual map. Also I actually cared about completing the Pokedex during a normal playthrough for the first time. I hope Gen 10 sticks with the open world formula and improves upon it, like battling the gyms in any order and having their Pokemon scale to that level would also be a welcome addition. #7 Arceus is a little overrated. It's not bad by any means, and i would be okay putting this at 6, but the repetitive gameplay was a little too grindy for me. Trainer battles were very underwhelming, it was weird to me that a strong wild pokemon could faint a few pokemon if you weren't careful, but a trainer just couldn't do anything. The boss battles and quests were absolutely fantastic and I hope they port those into a traditional Pokemon game. #8 XY are solid games, just a little too short and a tad too easy. A third game really could've done wonders, but we just never got it. Also, the introduction of fairy type is very good. #9 Sun and Moon- The games are just too short. Replacing gyms is fine, but replacing them with just one strong pokemon encounter, and having just 4 was not a good idea. If this game had 8 trials and bigger islands, it maybe could've been solid. I think it was here where the game production really started to feel too rushed. XY already felt like it was missing content to meet a deadline, but SM felt like half the game was missing. (Truth be told I haven't played the ultra games, aside from the new DLCs, these and gen 1+2 are the only games I haven't played) #10 SwSh- It has nothing to do with dexit or graphics, although those don't help it. The routes are incredibly boring and there's not much in the way of traversing the environment. Hidden paths, dungeons, and puzzles are all absent. It's get from point A to B and fight some unskippable trainers along the way. The only choice you'll make is whether or not you want to fight wild Pokemon. The wild area is okay, but kinda awkward. #11 Let's go- Yes it's technically a downgrade to FrLg. But it's different enough I wanted to place it, as well it being the worst Pokemon game to date.
Only games I still play are R,B,Y,G,S,C,R,S,E, D,P and P. The rest were worth one playthrough. That's about it. Pokemon has been dead for at least a decade. I still buy every game just to own it. But nothing past gen 4 is worth multiple plays.
I honestly don't mind the Let's Go games and I've been playing since at least Ruby/Sapphire. I think I mostly agree with these choices, definitely putting Emerald at #1 personally. It's just the perfect Pokemon game to me.
first pokemon game ever was emerald on my DS. Couldn't have asked for a better first experience. i still to this day choose it over the other games usually even though ive played through it numerous times. Only complaint is that as it was my first game to introduce me to the franchise, Nothing could ever compare quite the same due to how good it was.
Gen 1,2, then 3, then whatever else. I really like how there’s a Pokémon fan base, even nowadays. It makes me warm and fuzzy inside. But the first gens, particularly 1 and 2 ARE Pokémon.
Red and Blue are fun because of the spaghetti code the game was made with. Like there's so many glitches it's not even funny. You can get Mew as early as the second gym due to trainer fly, and there's literally dry item underflow and so many glitch items, walking through walls. I can't name them all, there's so many.
While I'm still not the biggest fan of the Pokémon designs of Gen 4 onward, I still gotta admit Black and White have the best story and best villains of all games. It's tied with Emerald and Heart Gold/ SoulSilver as my favorite. I haven't played Black and White 2 yet, but if they're even better than their predecessors, they'd be my number 1, hands down!
Pokémon Emerald is absolutely amazing. I’m still waiting for a new Pokémon game to bring back a similar Battle Frontier. So glad I still have my original copy all these years later. And I also agree that sword and shield receive way too much hate. I actually really enjoy the max raids. I hope future games keep raids as a game mode going forward.
Idk what it is but emerald just never clicked with me like everyone else. It's solid, but I'd rather just play sapphire personally for nostalgia. BW2, Ultra Sun and Moon and S&V are probably top 3 games for me, although adding in nostalgia it'll always be sapphire
Other than your placement for Sword and Shield, I think this list is probably the closest to the generalized opinion of the entire Pokemon community. As a result, it’s hard to argue with it
@@StrawHatMidas I think all the games have their own merit, sword and shield has cool stuff in it. I consider it to be the most outwardly lazy Pokemon game they’ve ever made, but I say the same thing about NSMB2 and I still had fun with it. But the models disappear when you walk away from them, the textures and colors are bland (subjective, but I don’t think the game looks that great), a lot of the buildings in the game look the same (which old games did too, but it comes across as incredibly lazy with a fully fledged 3D game),there wasn’t a national Pokédex but they just ripped most of the sprites from the 3DS, and dynamaxing was just never a gimmick I got into like Megas and terastilizing. SV suffer from a lot of these problems too, and in the case of hardware an even bigger problem than SwSh, but I like the pokemon, region, and gimmick more
another bdsp hater, if you ranked d/p that high there is no reason you would rank bdsp last because bdsp are the definitive version of d/p, also, emerald the best? Take off your nostalgia googles dude
as a adult and grown up playing pokemon for me LOA is the best specially the storyline is different from all pokemon games who collecting gym badges and be the most powerful trainer in the region..
Emerald? I beat that game, I really liked it. But there's no way that thats better then HeartGold and SoulSilver Those are the best pokemon games of all time, hands down. IMO of course. Cool video though!
That funny, had an itching for pokemon, fired up Blue (my OG from release week) and I just wasn't feeling it. Went to Platinum, and it also didn't really scratch the itch for me, so I decide to play emerald. That did it. Started looking up some stuff, and of course the yt overload algo knows what I was doing on the web and recommended this video. I 100% agree emerald ftw. Honestly "a little bit dated" is being nice, and that's coming from me, where I swear GBA was announced just a few months ago lol.
I personally like alpha sapphire / omega ruby the most (I like alpha sapphire more because of the exclusive Pokémon) I think that these games are easily the best somewhat modern Pokémon games, since the 3ds is still fairly modern and has decent graphics, I believe these are truly the only games that are both classic and modern at the same time.
@@GraceCairns-v4d I like story and how world is interactive. Those moments when you defeat team rocket in saffron city and suddenly roads to different towns are open to you or how you randomly find power plant while swimming and catch zapdos.
As a kid i played Blue and Gold a ton but then i missed a few generations. Ended up playing Sword, lets Go, Arceus with my nephew when he got into pokemon. More recently i decided to give Heartgold a shot and its by far the best pokemon game ive played. Maybe i need to give Emerald shot though, was interesting to see your rankings after playing everything. I agree with nearly everything you said about the games i have played, so ill probably like Emerald if u tried it.
for me, black/heargold/emerald were classic fav and my childhood. violet is my modern fav that I have so many moments with my friends. sword and shield is alright for me.
As I was born in 2002, I started playing to DS and quasi-exclusively to polemon when I was 8 years old so in 2010, and I grew up with Diamond and Platinum, and Platinum was, is, and will be my favorite pokemon game ever, I liked a lot the gameboy games that I tried because my big brother got them, and then I played to Y and X, then to Saphir Alpha and Rubis Omega, I didn’t really like X and Y (except the fashion / stylish part customising my outfit and haircut) I am not a big fan of Mega Evolutions. I really prefer Saphir Alpha to Pokemon Y, and I didn’t play to the next ones, because I had the feeling that we were getting lost and I didn’t recognise the traditional pokemon scenario and atmosphere, mood. I would say first Platinum, second Black 2, then Red fire
Shoulda just did a platinum remake instead of BD and SP in my opinion, but I just can't agree with them being where they are on the list. Had a great time with them
I thought they were decent but considering how good the other remakes were (HGSS and ORAS) I was left wanting so much more. Combine that with the fact that they were more expensive than the original and it’s a tough sell for me :)
@@StrawHatMidas I can't argue your point on pricing. I never played HG and SS, but I did get to play OR and AS. The originals are some of my favorite games, and I did enjoy those remakes more than BD and SP
I agree with 90% of this. However the 10% I disagree with is very wrong. Dlc has led to shallow post game experiences while yellow,crystal,emerald,platinum, b2w2,usum all dramatically improved their generations game.
I agree mostly. I would put Red and Blue and Gold and Silver below BDSP, LGPE and Scarlet and Violet. I'd also put BDSP above Diamond and Pearl because they're the same games but straight up better. Also B2W2 above Emerald. Other than that I agree.
Ya, BDSP are disappointing and have a bit of a wack difficulty curve, but they're still better than DP. It's just that it could've been way better if it took more after Platinum and didn't have some other, unrelated questionable decisions (forced EXP share without modifying the game around it, for example).
Honestly, I think Pokemon fell off horrifically once it went to switch and I'll stick by my ranking forever without changing my mind of: 1. Gen 5 (10/10) 2. Gen 4 (10/10) 3. Gen 3 (10/10) 4. Gen 6 (9/10) 5. Gen 2 (8.5/10) 6. Gen 1 (8/10) 7. Gen 7 (5/10) 8. Gen 8 (4.5/10) 9. Gen 9 (4/10)
My only changes would be S/V - 7.5/10 X/Y - 7/10 Gen 4- 8.5/10 (a bit too slow, but really good :)) Havent played gen 2, 7 and 8 though, so I cant say anything Based ranks😊❤
Gen V has the worst mon design of any game which is the largest reason people play. Awful starters too. It caused many people to quit playing Pokémon after it came out was a total flop
For me personally, Pearl and Diamond were the best Games, but it was 99% nostalgia. The games are not as bad as the remake but they are so boring and the variety of Pokemon is just pretty bad. I mean you can find many Pokemon on almost every route and many are weak asf too. Bidoof for example can be found almost everywhere...
I like D&P a lot, but as time goes on I see more and more of the flaws. I think they are a solid 7.5/10 overall and I think that a lot of it is nostalgia for me too! :)
I dont agree with Ranking sword/schield and violet/scarlet Ranking so fairly because the conversations sucks, the Enemy Team is Trash, the Story ist Almosen totaly Bad. They should Share the last two places in the List. With Everything Else I agree. Good work!

The Giratina figurine, Lugia and Ho-oh figurine, and going to the McDonald’s or the GameStop for the mystery gifts. Good times. Some of the best parts of my childhood haha
I love LGPE, it’s a nice relaxing game to just chill and shiny hunt without much brainpower or planning
Totally agree that x and y and sword and shield get too much hate. Legends: Arceus is THE GREATEST pokemon game of all time imo tho.
I don’t know where all that heat comes from and it doesn’t make sense to me. The games are great.
Both X/Y and Sword/Shield were judged a bit too harshly
There was a lot of anger towards sword and shield from people like me because we’ve invested all of this time into all of these Pokémon, and were used to being able to transfer them forward from our childhood, etc, and here comes a game that says almost none of these things are going to be going forward.
They said that it was going to be too expensive to make the models for it. And then they did end up adding some overtime, and then they put even more behind a DLC pay wall.
They just seemed so incredibly disrespectful and did not seem to understand. The player base that has existed, like we were being abandoned. And if you want to say that, the target audience is just the new generation of young children, OK, so then let’s all just stop playing the games?
People were less upset with the actual games and more upset with stuff like this.
Nintendo forward March meant that their players were left behind in the same game titles because the expectation had been made by them over and over and over that would be transferable going forward.
It made people like me to not want to invest more time into the game, because I’m just going to pick up a game and put it down, I may as well play some other game that I get more value out of for something like that, and is honest about it upfront
“I STILL HAVENT SPOKEN TO A GIRL YET” instantly liked and subscribed
I absolutely love that you put Emerald as the last one
Everytime i am sad i Play pkmn sun and moon. The vibe the pkmn the Soundtracks all are so nostalgic and makes me so happy
Wait how could someone put Scarlet and Violet over Let’s Go Pikachu, one is piece a piece of trash technically and shouldn’t even be allowed to sell while the other one is a well made game, even though a bit simplifies for new audiences
I like how SV made the jump into the open world even if it struggles to do its job. Lets go was just a worse version of Kanto to me but i can understand why you would have them swapped :D
@@StrawHatMidas I think you made a few mistakes in your video. I replayed the whole series recently and I think there's a flaw you glazed over in at least SwSh and BW/BW2 but emerald has a huge flaw too. And thats difficulty level especially in endgame. Rayquaza at lvl 70 meant e4 and champion was free in emerald if you used it. By the end of a normal bdsp playthrough my pokemon were 20 lvls overleveled and I didn't even try to do that. Same with sword and shield with the super overleveled super fast thing. Scarlet and violet did handle this better I'll admit. Black 2 endgame is slow and grindy too. Black tower and e4 rm takes countless hours of XP grinding to complete. I think emerald #1 is a given because if you don't use rayquaza it's the best paced game plus has a good flow. But I think b2/w2 above platinum is a bit of a questionable choice. HGSS had such an awful pool of pokemon to use too. If it has better pokemon it can be #1. Black was awful. Omega ruby and alpha sapphire was overleveled entire game even while skipping trainers. Black 2 redeems itself by having you gain significantly less XP if you are higher level than intended.
Sword & Shield are great! Way better than Scarlet & Violet. Sun and Moon are my favorites
Good points here. I like all the games and Sun and Moon are great too :D
I love my Brilliant Diamond 💎
The look is so cozy. Underground is fun. Tones of catchable Pokémon.
I got a Jirachi at the start. :3
And it has the hardest Elite four for a challenge.
I respect, but the top 3 in my opinion is
-HG/SS
-B2/W2
-Emerald
Legends Arceus > Fire Red/Leaf Green > Omega Ruby/Sapphire > Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald > Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee > HGSL > Diamond/Pearl > Scarlet/Violet (only due to performance) > Black/White > Crystal > BD/SP > Sword/Shield > Silver/Gold > Blue/Yellow/Red | Never played Sun/Moon, X/Y & Black/White 2
The thing I don’t get about BD & SP is why didn’t they just use platinum as the base and remake that? It’s pretty universally agreed upon that it’s the best version I really doubt anyone would rather play the og Diamond & pearl instead
The single reason I wouldn't put Pokemon Emerald at number one is that the level up move sets of most Pokemon are complete garbage
My Ranking:
Heart Gold & Soul Silver
Black 2 & White 2

That is a great list :D
That sword and shield rank is up way too high
@@jcarr1289I couldn't agree more. Sw and Sh, in my opinion, are F tier. Dynamax just did irreparable damage to that game and I couldn't enjoy it at all

Your list is very based! I would switch Lets Go and S/V ( Platin > HGSS > Emerald > BW (> LG/FR)
You gained a fan from this video 👍 Sword and Shield are my favorite Pokemon games on Switch and get way too much hate. Also, Emerald is easily the best Pokemon game. Thanks for this 🤘🤘🤘
Completely agree with Emerald, my favourite even transferred my Jirachi from Pokemon Channel to it.
Every time I watch these videos I pray sun and moon don’t get slandered and it always happens
i feel like the only thing holding me back from enjoying the newest games of pokemon , are that all pokemons in ur party share experience and that the games feels a bit too easy.
I wish you could turn that off and make the game more challenging :D
1. BW/BW2
2. HG/SS
3. RUBY/SAPHIRE/EMERALD

8. RED/BLUE/YELLOW
9. X/Y
10. SUN/MOON
11. LEGENDS ARCEUS
AND SO ON...
Switch games are easily the worst now they've tried to implement open world features into them with a dulled down 3d model to it all...
BDSP are great games. Original Diamond and Pearl were full of problems that they actually fixed in Platinum version. The only games that ruin the series are the new ones that removed over 200 and something Pokemon from existing.
I think the games were fine but they were so hyped up to be something great and they came out being just OK which made them even worse if you’re going to remake GEN four remake platinum
@@StrawHatMidas Honestly I get where you're coming from, but using that logic is like saying they should have used Emerald Version to Remake Gen 3, instead of Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, and they should have used Crystal Version instead of Gold & Silver for HG/SS. Platinum actually sold the least amount of copies of any Pokemon game, I feel like people were already done with Gen 4 by the time it came out. HGSS were the exception because they brought back Gen 2 into Gen 4.
For me (Best to Worst)
1) Black2 and White2
2) Emerald
3) HeartGold and SoulSilver
4) Platinum
5) Black and White
6) UltraSun and UltraMoon
7) FireRed and LeafGreen

20) Diamond and Pearl
I can’t accept sin and moon lower than scarlet and violet
im sorry D:
Sorry but all of the switch titles should be under any of the gameboy-3ds games they actually have care put into them and are paced well while the new games are boarderline unplayable
If emerald wasn’t number one I was going to do absolutely nothing, but be upset about it.
I was fully agreeing until I saw S/M as third worst 💀

My favorites:
1.HG SS
2. Emerald
3. Yellow (was my first pokemon game)
4. FR
5. X/Y
6. OR
I disagree with a few, sword and shield are pretty shallow and easy games. X and Y are also far too easy for my taste
Absolutely love BDSP, yes it should have more platinum features but I am just so obsessed with these games
I just cant do it, i like platinum way too much and i think its better. The games are not bad though
@@StrawHatMidas Platinum is great its the definitive version of Gen 4 on the DS just like how Emerald is the definitive version of gen 3. For the quality of life changes, battle frontier and story additions.
However it just feels so good having a classic pokemon experience on modern hardware. I haven't played a pokemon game this much since B2W2
@@ItisJGbdsp could have been a lot better but they are definitely over hated imo. There 100 percent better than the original dp

Firered/Leafgreen will always hold a place in my heart as well
Scarlet violet number 1. The ease of ev/iv training, shiny hunting, the terrastilizing gimmick which made for the best strategy of any game. The story was ok and there were some enjoyable characters although I prefer the team rocket type villains. Performance and graphics could be better but I judge a game based on total content and all the aspects at which make the game fun. Needless to say I think there’s more to like about scarlet violet than any other in the series.
What’s crazy is that i was born in 2006 and my most nolstalgic pokémon games are pokémon emerald and pokémon fire red and leaf green because i used to emulate them on my iphone as a kid on GBA4IOS😂 I have hundreds of hours on those games as a kid i love them
Would defs boost S/M up and US/UM but tbh the rest of the list is pretty spot on with how I view the games
Fair enough! That’s a valid opinion
You and I think roughly the same but for me the best are the following (in order):
- Pokemon SV: Listen, the performance issues and graphic designs do suck, that's a fact. However, it has a good storyline that connects well enough to leave a satisfying experience especially with the DLCs adding more to offer and more locations to explore and mess around in. It is a good start to something we wanted, and also Area Zero exists.
- Pokemon X & Y: I do not understand how people hated it when it was a lesser Gen 5, but still good enough *for the time*. I understand Gen 7 improves graphics, but it's like Gen 4 and Gen 5. Leap in quality sure, but it's still a good experience. Plus IT GAVE US MEGA EVOS
- Pokemon Black & White 2: I recently reviewed BW part 1, and I love that game a lot, but B2W2 really goes far and beyond in the content and battling. More Pokemon, Colress, the PWT, it had so much to do after the main campaign that it was insane.
- Pokemon HGSS & Platinum: I have these as a tie for me because these Pokemon made me a fan of the mainline games. HGSS was my first Johto experience and I loved the additional stuff they did as a remake to GSC. Platinum, sure it's slow but it was everything as a kid. The story was fun. The Pokemon felt complete in its roster, and the music transcends time and space (lol).
- Pokemon Legends Arceus: To me, this is what Pokemon should have been from the beginning of the Switch's era. It is the best looking 3D Pokemon, the mechanics are so well done, the battling si INCREDIBLE, and it was a good adventure that gave you the feeling of revisiting Sinnoh again but experiencing something entirely new in the process.
SV are good i just wish that they took more time on them:D I think this order is entirely valid though :D
L takes
@@MultiDarkII then what are yous?
Good point but lets not glaze legend's fights... Are cleary the worst in the series and its not even close. You can beat the game with level 40 mons
#1 Emerald
#2 BW2
#3 HgSs
#4 Platinum
All easily top 4 games, put them in any order, but this is my preference.
The only huge flaw these games really have is that HMs really suck to play around. BW2 is the best about not needing HMs for every route and you can do with having HM mons in the PC for most of a playthrough, so I'm placing it higher. Same reason why platinum is lower, introducing rock climb for some reason. Emerald gets a pass on dive because I'm biased and started playing Gen 3.
For the rest of the list I'm ignoring any version of a game that's a strict downgrade. Games like DP, ORAS, etc. are just going to clutter up the list as well as just being hard to rank amongst other gens.
#5 Fire red and leaf green. Kanto is just an amazing region, and this is the best way to play through it.
#6 Scarlet and Violet are a little over hated, personally I rarely had performance issues aside from the lake area. The game isn't perfect but it's a lot of fun and it's a fresh take on the series. The map is very fun to explore, and I love that battles take place on the actual map. Also I actually cared about completing the Pokedex during a normal playthrough for the first time. I hope Gen 10 sticks with the open world formula and improves upon it, like battling the gyms in any order and having their Pokemon scale to that level would also be a welcome addition.
#7 Arceus is a little overrated. It's not bad by any means, and i would be okay putting this at 6, but the repetitive gameplay was a little too grindy for me. Trainer battles were very underwhelming, it was weird to me that a strong wild pokemon could faint a few pokemon if you weren't careful, but a trainer just couldn't do anything. The boss battles and quests were absolutely fantastic and I hope they port those into a traditional Pokemon game.
#8 XY are solid games, just a little too short and a tad too easy. A third game really could've done wonders, but we just never got it. Also, the introduction of fairy type is very good.
#9 Sun and Moon- The games are just too short. Replacing gyms is fine, but replacing them with just one strong pokemon encounter, and having just 4 was not a good idea. If this game had 8 trials and bigger islands, it maybe could've been solid. I think it was here where the game production really started to feel too rushed. XY already felt like it was missing content to meet a deadline, but SM felt like half the game was missing.
(Truth be told I haven't played the ultra games, aside from the new DLCs, these and gen 1+2 are the only games I haven't played)
#10 SwSh- It has nothing to do with dexit or graphics, although those don't help it. The routes are incredibly boring and there's not much in the way of traversing the environment. Hidden paths, dungeons, and puzzles are all absent. It's get from point A to B and fight some unskippable trainers along the way. The only choice you'll make is whether or not you want to fight wild Pokemon. The wild area is okay, but kinda awkward.
#11 Let's go- Yes it's technically a downgrade to FrLg. But it's different enough I wanted to place it, as well it being the worst Pokemon game to date.
As much as more games come out graphics get better i always find myself replaying the original 2 gens
They are great generations I get why you would :D
Only games I still play are R,B,Y,G,S,C,R,S,E, D,P and P. The rest were worth one playthrough. That's about it. Pokemon has been dead for at least a decade. I still buy every game just to own it. But nothing past gen 4 is worth multiple plays.
I honestly don't mind the Let's Go games and I've been playing since at least Ruby/Sapphire. I think I mostly agree with these choices, definitely putting Emerald at #1 personally. It's just the perfect Pokemon game to me.
How did this guy rank sword and shield that high the game was super dry
Facts
first pokemon game ever was emerald on my DS. Couldn't have asked for a better first experience. i still to this day choose it over the other games usually even though ive played through it numerous times.

@@huggleskuishy what would you prefer?
I have never played any Pokemon game that are on the Switch because how expensive they are and that they are never on sale.
I’m so glad you like Sword and Shield !!! It’s my favorite ❤️ I love playing it with my 5 year old ❤️❤️❤️
Gen 1,2, then 3, then whatever else.
I really like how there’s a Pokémon fan base, even nowadays. It makes me warm and fuzzy inside. But the first gens, particularly 1 and 2 ARE Pokémon.
Red and Blue are fun because of the spaghetti code the game was made with. Like there's so many glitches it's not even funny. You can get Mew as early as the second gym due to trainer fly, and there's literally dry item underflow and so many glitch items, walking through walls. I can't name them all, there's so many.
Yeah those games were programmed on a microwave lol. They are so exploitable it’s really funny to see what people have been able to figure out :)
I wanna get into Pokémon games and already played sword and violet what do you recommend that I play next?
@@AlexAguirre-v3s Probably ORAS next for Gen 6.
Idk about all of them but my top 5 is
1) HGSS (and it aint even close tbh)
2) Platinum
3) ORAS
4) Emerald
5) Black 2/White 2
love your editing (new sub btw 🙏🏽)
Thank you so much I appreciate you :)
Heart Gold, Soul Silver, Platinum, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire are my top 5. Yes I started with Red version as a kid.
It's probably not meant like this, but I like how there's only one BDSP fan just screaming get him
Intentional (i am usually alone lol)
While I'm still not the biggest fan of the Pokémon designs of Gen 4 onward, I still gotta admit Black and White have the best story and best villains of all games. It's tied with Emerald and Heart Gold/ SoulSilver as my favorite. I haven't played Black and White 2 yet, but if they're even better than their predecessors, they'd be my number 1, hands down!
You know, for having less than 1.5 subs your videos are pretty good. Keep it up!
Thank you :) I appreciate it I hope to grow and learn along the way :)

@@RetroRevv currently playing white and loving it
PLA, PLATINUM, HGSS, BW 2, BW 1, ORAS, then anything else
Agreed!
Emerald will always be number 1!
Pokémon Emerald is absolutely amazing. I’m still waiting for a new Pokémon game to bring back a similar Battle Frontier. So glad I still have my original copy all these years later. And I also agree that sword and shield receive way too much hate. I actually really enjoy the max raids. I hope future games keep raids as a game mode going forward.
Idk what it is but emerald just never clicked with me like everyone else. It's solid, but I'd rather just play sapphire personally for nostalgia. BW2, Ultra Sun and Moon and S&V are probably top 3 games for me, although adding in nostalgia it'll always be sapphire
Other than your placement for Sword and Shield, I think this list is probably the closest to the generalized opinion of the entire Pokemon community. As a result, it’s hard to argue with it
I think sword and shield are overhated I loved those games
@@StrawHatMidas I think all the games have their own merit, sword and shield has cool stuff in it. I consider it to be the most outwardly lazy Pokemon game they’ve ever made, but I say the same thing about NSMB2 and I still had fun with it. But the models disappear when you walk away from them, the textures and colors are bland (subjective, but I don’t think the game looks that great), a lot of the buildings in the game look the same (which old games did too, but it comes across as incredibly lazy with a fully fledged 3D game),there wasn’t a national Pokédex but they just ripped most of the sprites from the 3DS, and dynamaxing was just never a gimmick I got into like Megas and terastilizing. SV suffer from a lot of these problems too, and in the case of hardware an even bigger problem than SwSh, but I like the pokemon, region, and gimmick more
Sword and Shield and Scarlet and Violet are not that acclaimed for good reason IMO but I love Gen 1-6 and only them
another bdsp hater, if you ranked d/p that high there is no reason you would rank bdsp last because bdsp are the definitive version of d/p, also, emerald the best? Take off your nostalgia googles dude
Having red and blue that low is an absolute travesty
as a adult and grown up playing pokemon for me LOA is the best specially the storyline is different from all pokemon games who collecting gym badges and be the most powerful trainer in the region..
Emerald?
I beat that game, I really liked it. But there's no way that thats better then HeartGold and SoulSilver
Those are the best pokemon games of all time, hands down. IMO of course.
Cool video though!
That funny, had an itching for pokemon, fired up Blue (my OG from release week) and I just wasn't feeling it. Went to Platinum, and it also didn't really scratch the itch for me, so I decide to play emerald. That did it. Started looking up some stuff, and of course the yt overload algo knows what I was doing on the web and recommended this video. I 100% agree emerald ftw. Honestly "a little bit dated" is being nice, and that's coming from me, where I swear GBA was announced just a few months ago lol.
1-Pokemon Heart Gold
2-Pokemon Sapphire
3-Pokemon Green Leaf
I personally like alpha sapphire / omega ruby the most (I like alpha sapphire more because of the exclusive Pokémon) I think that these games are easily the best somewhat modern Pokémon games, since the 3ds is still fairly modern and has decent graphics, I believe these are truly the only games that are both classic and modern at the same time.
How is your channel not bigger? What a great video. Absolutely loved the editing and content. Earned a new sub!
Wow thanks! Maybe someday I will get there :)
@@StrawHatMidas of course bro! Im rooting for you
Gen 4 takes it IMO, Platinum & HGSS were just goated 🎉

1. Alpha Sapphire
2. Crystal
3. Red
4. Ultra Sun
red over ultra sun is crazy
Alpha Sapphire is GREAT
@@GraceCairns-v4d I like story and how world is interactive. Those moments when you defeat team rocket in saffron city and suddenly roads to different towns are open to you or how you randomly find power plant while swimming and catch zapdos.
Please try gen 4-5! Do platinum and black or white 2. They’re so good.
@@Whatisthis195 Later. I do all the best games and romhacks chronologically on my 3ds. I am on gen 2 right now.
I feel like I’m the only one who didn’t care for Black and White.
HG/SS nailed it but I’m a simp for gen 2
It is a fair opinion for gen 5, HG/SS is so good too :D
As a kid i played Blue and Gold a ton but then i missed a few generations. Ended up playing Sword, lets Go, Arceus with my nephew when he got into pokemon.
More recently i decided to give Heartgold a shot and its by far the best pokemon game ive played.
Maybe i need to give Emerald shot though, was interesting to see your rankings after playing everything. I agree with nearly everything you said about the games i have played, so ill probably like Emerald if u tried it.
I think you would like Emerald a lot. To me it just feels like the most engaging pokemon experience. HGSS are also just as good though :D
Emerald, HGSS & Platinum are the holy trinity of Pokémon!!
for me, black/heargold/emerald were classic fav and my childhood. violet is my modern fav that I have so many moments with my friends. sword and shield is alright for me.
As a classic pokemon guy, legends arceus was never my fav but yes it is good
I like 99% of these games a lot! Emerald will always be up there along with Black and white and HGSS :D
As I was born in 2002, I started playing to DS and quasi-exclusively to polemon when I was 8 years old so in 2010, and I grew up with Diamond and Platinum, and Platinum was, is, and will be my favorite pokemon game ever, I liked a lot the gameboy games that I tried because my big brother got them, and then I played to Y and X, then to Saphir Alpha and Rubis Omega, I didn’t really like X and Y (except the fashion / stylish part customising my outfit and haircut) I am not a big fan of Mega Evolutions. I really prefer Saphir Alpha to Pokemon Y, and I didn’t play to the next ones, because I had the feeling that we were getting lost and I didn’t recognise the traditional pokemon scenario and atmosphere, mood. I would say first Platinum, second Black 2, then Red fire
I’ve also played since red/blue and Legends Arceus made pokemon fun again for me. Probably my favorite in the series and I can’t wait for the new one.
Shoulda just did a platinum remake instead of BD and SP in my opinion, but I just can't agree with them being where they are on the list. Had a great time with them
I thought they were decent but considering how good the other remakes were (HGSS and ORAS) I was left wanting so much more. Combine that with the fact that they were more expensive than the original and it’s a tough sell for me :)
@@StrawHatMidas I can't argue your point on pricing. I never played HG and SS, but I did get to play OR and AS. The originals are some of my favorite games, and I did enjoy those remakes more than BD and SP
I agree with 90% of this. However the 10% I disagree with is very wrong.
Dlc has led to shallow post game experiences while yellow,crystal,emerald,platinum, b2w2,usum all dramatically improved their generations game.
I agree mostly.
I would put Red and Blue and Gold and Silver below BDSP, LGPE and Scarlet and Violet.
I'd also put BDSP above Diamond and Pearl because they're the same games but straight up better. Also B2W2 above Emerald.
Other than that I agree.
Those are valid
Ya, BDSP are disappointing and have a bit of a wack difficulty curve, but they're still better than DP. It's just that it could've been way better if it took more after Platinum and didn't have some other, unrelated questionable decisions (forced EXP share without modifying the game around it, for example).
Gen 1 and 2 are fantastic games despite the flaws and had actual care put into them unlike BDSP, LGPE, and ScatVomit
Quality video brotha. Keep it up
Honestly, I think Pokemon fell off horrifically once it went to switch and I'll stick by my ranking forever without changing my mind of:
1. Gen 5 (10/10)
2. Gen 4 (10/10)
3. Gen 3 (10/10)
4. Gen 6 (9/10)
5. Gen 2 (8.5/10)
6. Gen 1 (8/10)
7. Gen 7 (5/10)
8. Gen 8 (4.5/10)
9. Gen 9 (4/10)
My only changes would be
S/V - 7.5/10
X/Y - 7/10
Gen 4- 8.5/10 (a bit too slow, but really good :))
Havent played gen 2, 7 and 8 though, so I cant say anything
Based ranks😊❤
Gen V has the worst mon design of any game which is the largest reason people play. Awful starters too. It caused many people to quit playing Pokémon after it came out was a total flop
@@sloppygoo Gen 5 has onenof the greatest stories and gameplays. I'll take it any day over 7-9 those ones are trash lmao
For me personally, Pearl and Diamond were the best Games, but it was 99% nostalgia. The games are not as bad as the remake but they are so boring and the variety of Pokemon is just pretty bad. I mean you can find many Pokemon on almost every route and many are weak asf too. Bidoof for example can be found almost everywhere...
I like D&P a lot, but as time goes on I see more and more of the flaws. I think they are a solid 7.5/10 overall and I think that a lot of it is nostalgia for me too! :)
I dont agree with Ranking sword/schield and violet/scarlet Ranking so fairly because the conversations sucks, the Enemy Team is Trash, the Story ist Almosen totaly Bad. They should Share the last two places in the List. With Everything Else I agree. Good work!
I get that opinion but i just like Sw/Sh too much to put it so low. I could see S/V going there but its hard to say for me :D
Idk if its the music, the gameplay, or the memories but Emerald will always be the best game in my opinion
