  • I would have to say Soul Silver, with Black coming in a close second.

    Silver was the first Pokemon game I ever played (without having to borrow from my neighbour and not being allowed to save) so Soul Silver was very nostalgic for me.

    Meanwhile, I'm not sure if I liked Black so much because of the game (when I got the game off pre-order it took me less than a day to beat the Elite 4 the first time around, I don't think I took any real breaks) or because I got a plush Pikachu free with it!

  • I like Black/White and Black 2/White 2. I had fun using the Pokémon found within them. The storylines for both are interesting for me, too.

  • I think all the main DS games except for Diamond and Pearl are great really. I'm going to go with Black/White 2 though since I like the bigger variety in wild Pokemon compared to BW and they're fun games to play. I like that it has a bit of challenge to it. I found it harder than previous main games, so it's nice to play a game that keeps on my level the way it does.

  • I would say Heart Gold, the game mechanic are awesome. the Pokemon, bag, options etc. being on the bottom screen is awesome. Don't have to press X and whatsoever xD

  • I would have to say that HeartGold is my favorite of the DS games so far (haven't gotten around to starting White 2 yet). I just loved how well the remake was done, and features like the Battle Frontier and the Pokeathlon kept me coming back to play, even when I had gotten bored with the game.

    Definitely SoulSilver for me, with Black 2 coming in a close second. I just love everything about HGSS, and Black 2 is a definite improvement on Black imo.

    B/W. I think B2/W2 are technically superior but there's so many personal memories tied up in B/W that I can't help but have those as my favorites.

    Probably Black 2. I love how it took the revolutions from Black and White, but added many of the Pokemon from past generations. A great story and huge map also. It's a lot of fun.

    Heart Gold. Of course I haven't played any of the BW/BW2 games yet, so I guess this might be premature. Although HG was really good and nostalgic, so Unova's going to have to be pretty darn awesome to surpass it.

    Same as Toujie here. I also loved Black and White's story.

    They will always be my fave DS Pokemon game.

  • I don't play those spinoff Pokemon games, so I couldn't really say. But as for the traditional RPG Pokemon games. I'll say mah favorite is HGSS. Then Black/White 2 comes in second. All Pokemon games are fun, but those two just stick out a bit more.

    Heart Gold, I love the menu pages, the scenery and simply because I love Johto the most. Its the Pokemon game that I play it all the time, have the most hours clocked into it, the most level 100s and of course, the most shinies.

    Black 2 and Soul Silver. I'm actually finding it difficult to figure out which one I like more. If anything right now I would have to say Soul Silver since I have played it longer but that might change as I have Black 2 for longer, y'know.

  • Heart Gold is my favorite mainly because I don't think there will be a region that tops Johto and the fact that it was the first game since yellow that your Pokemon could follow you.

  • My favorite so far has to be a tie between Soul Silver and White 2. There are just so many things to do @_@
