I love your list! I would rank Sun and Moon pretty high actually haha I dunno, I just connected with it! I would love to see the next entry be more like the old ones…I can only hope!
I'm of the same mind. Sun and Moon was the last midnight launch I ever went to if only they hit the way I was hoping they would. For me personally I just think it was mainly because of the departure from the main gym mechanics that sort of turned off from them.
Black and White 1 are top for me. I actually liked the Unova exclusive dex from a world building perspective. Unova being so far from the first 4 regions meaning it has entirely different pokemon made sense to me and felt a bit more immersive (though it kinda got retconned in future games and even the post game).
crazy as a music fan you didn’t mention the Ruby/Sapphire OST! for my money one of the best reasons to play the game and one of the best OSTs in all of gaming.
SWSH is hands down the best gen for competitive. It's also pretty good for shiny hunters. Genuinely believe all the hate is from fans that don't play Pokémon games past the end credits
@@ErekLaddIf I had to rank the ones I've played.... Gen 5 Gen 4 Gen 3 Gen 2 (played my friend's version but never beat it) Gen 6 Gen 1 (played on 3ds VC but never beat it) Gen 8 Didn't play 7 or 9! But if we're factoring remakes then Johto and Kanto would be much higher!
Great question! I enjoyed let’s go more than BD/SP. so I’d definitely rank it higher. I didn’t enjoy BD/SP personally - I got really burned out on that rinse and repeat formula with that game specifically. Arceus really pulled me back in thankfully!
Yo, how is gen 10 not bottom 2? I think we played different games. I played a game with the worst story I’ve never seen and you played hello kitty adventure island. 😂
7th for Scarlet and Violet is wild when every game below it runs better and has far less bugs/glitches.

That and the story just sucked.
Pokémon list 9/10 just show when the list writer became a Pokémon fan.
Love that list and kinda makes me want to get into the series by playing some of the older games.
Fellow GSC stan here, playing these games growing up really was so magical!
Gen 2 supremacy! Currently playing through Soulsilver for the first time!
Great choice!!! Those DS remakes are so good!
How Gen 1 is above Gens 6,7, and 8 is WILD…
I just prefer some games to others - that's really it!
After playing gen 1 on 3DS I was amazed at how good they actually are, they are definitely better than a lot of the modern games
Nostalgia makes people make stupid opinions.

Sun and Moon was cool but just didn't really hit with me for some reason. Fingers crossed the next game is a 10/10!!

Your bottom 2 are my favorites 😆
Hey sometimes that’s just how it is 🤣
Same here! ❤

Great list! Pretty similar to how I think my list would be. Gens 2 and 3 were the height of my love for Pokemon as a kid. Such great memories!
Couldn’t agree more! Gen 2 & 3 were amazing back then!!
my list is super similar to yours! I'm a Gen 2 stan as well
Gen 2 4 life!
crazy as a music fan you didn’t mention the Ruby/Sapphire OST! for my money one of the best reasons to play the game and one of the best OSTs in all of gaming.
Good point! I did really enjoy the music in that game!

Very true. My issue was the base game didn’t interest me a whole lot and I don’t usually shiny hunt so I’m probably in the minority for that take!
SV above gen 4?! Haha at least you had gen 8 at the bottom lol, good list overall!
Crazy right! Kind of surprised myself with the list since I’ve never thought about it before!

Platinum #1 🦆
It's a good one that's for sure!!
Sun and moon would be my 11 and black and white duo taking spot 1 and 2 but otherwise a solid list
Good choices!

4. X/Y

(Never played Legends so I'm not going to rank it here)
Were would you have put BDSP and Lets go Pikachu/Eevee out of curiosity?
Great question! I enjoyed let’s go more than BD/SP. so I’d definitely rank it higher. I didn’t enjoy BD/SP personally - I got really burned out on that rinse and repeat formula with that game specifically. Arceus really pulled me back in thankfully!

I would have done a top ten and left SWSH out just to spite it.
Should've done that in retrospect 🤣
This list 🤦🏻♂️
