I tend to agree with this statement. I just bought this game today, and an hour into it im extremely addicted xD. I love it...very well worth the money.

The question is: Do you agree that this is the best series of games since G/S/C? If not, what do you think is the best series?

I think it is, but then I would say that, because my favourite games were the G/S/C era. :)

I liked the Ruby and Sapphire games more than this one, maybe because it was a new adventure and I did not know what to expect.
But SoulSilver and HeartGold are better than Diamond, Pearl and Platinum.

I preferred Ruby & Sapphire over this. Not a big fan of the remake, I like the walk along feature. And pokewalker was nice. But I have heard a lot of people complain that it takes forever to level up and there is not many good training areas.

Hmm... While the Poke'mon games are some of my favorite games of all time, I don't really have a favorite among them. They all have great points, but also weak. I would have to say, however, that platinum is my least favorite. It's really fun, but lacks something...
I guess Johto is just really awesome because you get to go to Kanto.
Plus, with the running button, two selects, and the fact that it's the most up to date, and has all the new pokemon in it, so actually, I would have to say heartgold is my favorite. I just wish it was easier to level up. It reminds me of when I couldn't train for my life, with me being ten levels underneith everyone.

No, it isn't, because then I'd be admitting that G/S/C is better then D/P/Pt, which is my favorite. But they are the best games in the series, I must say. The plot is a bit thin, but it's nice to be back in Johto and Kanto with some of the most beautiful graphics I've seen, some pretty cool menus and other things. The only game(s) that could top it are Black and White, which I heard from someone's friend was a LOT better then the trailers made it seem.

But I'm getting off topic. Updated G/S/C is win, Lyra is win, new graphics are win... I can't think of a negative, except the plot, actually.

HG/SS are MUCH better than DPPt...
I agree that its the best Pokemon game ever since GSC, but we gotta consider its still GSC itself.
I love them, some criticize that HG/SS weren't made with the same passion or love that constructed the originals... But I think that being GSC the best Pokemon games ever, the people that worked for HG/SS were pretty excited... and it's pretty nostalgic to back into the GSC era. HG/SS Reminded me of when I first bought Silver when I was a little kid :)
So awesome...

It definitely is. My favorite Pokemon games were G/S/C, and even though HG/SS don't beat them, they are the best SINCE then.

I completely agree with this. G/S/C was always my favourite generation anyway, and the enhancements make to them for HG/SS only improved the experience. The added mini-story involving the Kimono Girls that unfolds as you play, the much-improved menu system, the addition of the Safari Zone and many other things all worked together to make the remakes better than the originals.

Well, I like them all. However, these are the major plus points for me:

- Really aesthetically-appealing graphics, such as slopes, etc.
- Cutscenes like Fr/Lg
- Good music, particularly Kanto (Viridian Forest and Saffron City, anyone?)
- Pokemon following.
- Safari Zone! God, if they'd made others anywhere near as good, I might've used them....especially brilliant when compared with Pastoria's Great Marsh in Sinnoh.
- The Pokedex. Easy to navigate, contains all Gen I and II pokemon, and a 5 evolutions....I just like it.
- The pokemon. Generally, whilst I like some later generations pokemon, despite starting from Gen III I prefer Gen I/II pokemon (probably because I got the pokemon annual 2000, which had the first 251 pokemon in it, and got really excited every time I saw one of those in my games).
- The random order you can do gyms 5-7!

However, Lyra really irritates me, I do wish I could delete contacts (I don't want anybody who isn't either really strong, or going to give me evolutionary stones), and the focus seems to be on Kanto pokemon. Falkner could've had Hoothoot and Noctowl, Bugsy could've used Heracross, etc.etc. although Chuck having a Poliwrath and Primeape pleased me simply because I like how challenging Poliwrath is.

I agree with everything you said...ahahaha...and Lyra deserves to get hit.

I like it but I don't feel like many people play it. I loved G/S/C but I also liked R/S because I understood it more.

I don't know... I was looking forward to Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver before it was released, but some things dissapointed me. I HATED the early parts of the game (basically, when everything is pretty much the same as G/S/C), but I guess that's because I've played Crystal loads of times. :\ While I normally liked remakes, the nostalgia wore off very quickly, and I didn't really enjoy it. :\ The level-scaling system was so bad I had to trade a lucky egg over from Platinum to make my Pokemon level up faster. :\ Joey is soooooooo annoying, and quite a lot of the sprites were bad. The new Rocket executive's had the personality of a deceased animal, and why do we battle the Kimono girls so late in the game? :S And worst of all: VOLTORB FLIP! :disappoin

I think it is. I LOVED the original Silver :P and SS is the perfect remake. The Safari Zone is just awesome. Especially with those item placement thingies. And the fact that the game doesn't go by as fast as D/P/Pt is great too, cos there're 16 gyms and 2 regions.

My favorite has always been G/S/C, but I loved RSE more, but I don't know what I like more because I like HGSS as much because of the nostalgia I feel when playing.
