Favourite Pokémon game(s)?

This place has several Pokémon fans. Let's have a discussion, shall we?

Well, as much as I loved Pokémon Red and played it more times than any other game in the series, it has A LOT of flaws and most of my love for it nowadays is purely based on nostalgia. It was my 1st ever Pokémon game after all. Plus, I love so many of gen 1 Pokémon to this day.

As for gen 2, as epic as it was back then, it also shows its age these days. Plus, it requires a lot of grinding later on. The fact you have to beat 16 different gym leaders with a lot of them being under leveled after a certain point, means you gotta grind a ton before tackling the elite 4. It's quite a hassle. Also, Johto lacks some identity as a region. It might as well be a province of Kanto. And most Johto Pokémon aren't that great imo.

I'd say the remakes of gen 3, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are my favourite Pokémon games as of today. Really fun remakes with a lot to do such as contests and a lot of Pokémon to catch from different generations.
Most of the Hoenn Pokémon are pretty cool too.
Plus, I really like the Hoenn region. No idea why the hell IGN said it had too much water. It really doesn't.

I've enjoyed the remakes of gen 4, but the contests aren't as good as they were in ORAS and I don't like Sinnoh as much as I like Hoenn. Plus, you don't get to unlock most pokemon available in the game until after you beat the Pokemon League. And Sinnoh Pokémon in general aren't as cool as Hoenn ones imo.

Gen 6... I couldn't really get into it. Something just felt off. Greninja is a cool Pokémon though.

What about you?
