Best Pokemon Version.

Its Platinum for me. The game fixed a lot of the problems with Diamond and Pearl. It also added a bunch of new features, a better range of Pokemon & a better difficulty curve.

Crystal. It's the first game to have a female protagonist and it takes place in my favorite region, too. Although Sapphire is a close second due to my love of the pretty graphics.

I would go with FireRed & LeafGreen because It's got the best pokemon (in my opinion) it also has a lot of nostalgia behind it as well as having better graphics then the originals Red and Green.

Since certain Pokemon games have certain aspects I like about them, their is no clear winner (unless nostalgia starts talking then it's Pokemon Silver :3 ) I've never played Black or White 2, and I never finished Diamond, Pearl or Platinum

I guess if I had to pick an overall favorite it would be Firered, simply because it's Red and Blue with just enough modern to make it interesting again. Although the endgame of all the games post Emerald are so expansive...it's quite cool!

It really depends on what you mean by 'best'.

Nostalgia: Fire Red/ Leaf Green

Content: Either Heart Gold/ Soul Silver or Black 2/ White 2

My personal favorites though are Fire Red and Heart Gold.
Classic Content + Modern Game Mechanics= WIN!!!

Yellow for me. First game, and being based on the anime, i pretended i was ash :)

There are so many of the games that I really liked, with Emerald, HeartGold and White 2 easily rounding out my top 3.

If I could only pick one of them, though, it would be Emerald. Emerald was the first game I actually enjoyed playing once I finished playing the main story, in large part thanks to the Battle Frontier. Gen III is also where I really started getting invested in Pokemon again, so that helps it to the top of my list.

GSC or HG/SS

1. You can really see the transition from the first gen, I have played the original Pokemon Red and Crystal versions.

2. The first gen was referenced a lot in the 2nd gen with easter eggs and professor Oak of course and other stuff, Then came the Kanto Arc which really made a connection with the first gen, you can feel that the game is not a game anymore, It became a new world.

3. There's "progress" in the story line. not just the GSC story line but the Pokemon story line as a whole, GSC is actually the sequel of RBY and if you compare BW2 and GSC in terms of playing the role of a sequel. GSC would pwn BW2.

4. You can feel the connection of a pokemon and its trainer, this is because all of the new content is centered around pokemon-trainer relationship. Unlike new contents these days that only caters to those who wants something new, im not against it but i just prefer a game which emphasizes pokemon-trainer relationship. and I think it shows especially when they did a remake (HGSS
wherein your pokemon actually follows you.

5. the battle with red at Mt.Silver is the best trainer battle ever in the history of Pokemon, Red was the only main character that appeared in tons of other generations and GSC started that formula.

6. the key ideas here are that GSC showed progress, TONS of progress in terms of EVERYTHING (contents, gameplay, core value, STORY). Its the only generation where a new typing was born, IIRC it started the dual typing, it also started giving genders as well as breeding and egg hatching, and it was the only generation where you can grab 16 MFKKING gym medals.

the list goes on and on, sure DPP and BW have these innovative contents, but the question is are they really necessary? did they pack that much impact to the whole picture? Battle Frontier was nice, The subway etc etc, but they had no lasting appeal on me unlike the GSC which really made me look at the pokemon series differently.

The game that I enjoyed the most on was on Gold back in the good ol' days. That game pretty much summarise my childhood.

The very first blue version as it was the first one I played, and as such, the most memorable for me.

I have two favorites. Emerald the best because its pretty much the best generation and I love the region. Black 2 coming close just because its the first sequel with a decent storyline but the generation is kinda.... not the same.

It's a tie between FireRed and Emerald. Gen 3 is my favorite.

Pokemon Zafiro is the best for me

I'd definitely say Heartgold. It was by far one of the most amazing games I have played, even outside of the Pokemon franchise. I felt it had this huge spark, the graphics were amazing and the ability to explore two regions was great. The little additional features thrown in like the Follow-me-feature along with minigames such as the Pokeathlon and other activities was fun. The music was phenomenal as well, I particularly liked the Kanto Trainer theme. Overall it was an enjoyable game and I have always loved replaying it, time and time again. :]

The most memorable game for me would definitely be Crystal. It was the first pokemon game I've played and it was the game that began my fascination with video games and it gave me tons of memories that make me happy when I look back at them. That, to me, is something special.

Gold version is my favorite. Transferring my old pokemon from red over was cool, then being able to go back to Kanto and win 8 badges while battling Blue again was cool. Then the "last" battle versus Red atop Mt. Silver was awesome, I never enjoyed a pokemon battle more than that.

Pokemon black2/white2 has a lot of features!So i choose pokemon black2 and white2

HeartGold had so many stuff to do in it, 16 badges for a start and unlike the originals obviously there was Gen III & IV pokemon incorporated in the game.

I'm resisting the temptation to say Emerald or Fire Red as Gen III were the first games I bought.

I haven't played B/W 2 yet, but based on the original B/W they probably wouldn't be my favourite. Every game in the main series is brilliant though.
