What, in your opinion, is the worst Pokemon game ever, in my opinion, it was Dash, it's nothing but a complete waste of your time, has no storyline, has no significance to the series whatsoever, and there is only one playable character, and that is Pikachu, and nobody else, what do you think is the worst Pokemon game, it can be either the main games or the spinoffs.....

I hate FireRed and LeafGreen. They didn't add much new to the game and just made a rushed rehash of the original Red and Blue. The music was awful as well. Spriting was great though, I'll give it that, but they could have given these remakes more attention imo. The Sevii Islands and Ruby/Sapphire quest weren't really enough. I mean, look at all that was added to HGSS. Now, you might argue that this didn't happen because GSC were longer games and were missing a lot originally, so there was a lot of room to play with on HGSS, but think about it. HGSS at least let you get some new evos, like Yanmega and Tangrowth. You couldn't even get Crobat or Blissey in FRLG, and it was really damn annoying having to watch it attempt to evolve all the time. Nintendo logic says Golbat can't be Crobat because your POKEDEX, just some electronic Pokemon encyclopedia, doesn't allow it. Yeah. Makes a lot of sense.

I could rant more, but I'm not really in the mood. But that's just my opinion. At the time of their release, they were great. I just eventually got to where I realized I would rather play the original because they didn't do the original games any favors. And changing gamblers to gamers! Absurd!

I also agree with FireRed. The music was terrible. The lazy way they seemed to set everything up just piled onto it. And the storyline is so blank. Like the tea part.

1. You walk into old lady's house
2. She gives you tea
3. Go to guards "Im thirsty!"
4. Give them tea
5. "I am no longer thirsty, therefore I will resign my duties and allow you to go in."

And just overall the game is confusing. I haven't played many spinoff games, such as dash... but I have played Colosseum and PKRV. They're both good though.

I have never played Dash, and I like the GameBoy games, even if they do have odd parts. They usually keep me busy. I may be a little 'grr' at a couple of them because I dislike changes made to them or parts that seem really unworthy of the game, but I like them anyway.

Honestly, I just wasn't a big fan of Pokemon XD. I hated how you couldn't walk the paths to the towns and cities you wanted to go to, had to set out PokeFood to get wild Pokemon, which were usually crappy and hard to find... Especially the ones you really want. The Spot Monitor always goes off when I am doing something important and don't want to leave. I hated that thing. The only thing I liked was the Battle Tower.

I'm pretty sure I'm wrong, but the Telefang "rip-off" games were the worst Pokemon games.
Technically, they weren't legit Pokemon games, but they had a logo on it, so you can't distrust a logo (same logic with a dollar). I found the Engrish funny, but the randomness and everything was just too bad for me. I laughed for ten minutes, realized I was in a place where you're screwed, then gave up and tossed it into the garbage. How fun.

May the ranting about how I'm totally wrong about even mentioning Diamond and Jade begin.

My favorite Pokemon character made her appearance in FR/LG so I can't say too much negative about it.

Among Pokemon games I've played, Battle Revolution was the least impressive. I mean, there was so much they could have added to it. Things brought over from the Stadium series, like the Gym Leader Castle and the mini-games. It felt like one of those half-hearted effort budget titles, only it didn't have a budget price.

Anything after Gold, Silver, and Crystal for me. >_>

Its because of those games I gotta catch up again. XD
But yea, I know its kinda how anime and games go, you get money rolling in. That means its time to make a new game for more profit... but Its kinda got out of hand. I think Pokemon has more games the Final Fantasy officially now.

Oh, I completely disregarded spin offs. But to put FRLG on a higher scale, I would much rather be forced to play those two for the rest of my life rather than sit through PBR. I was hoping for something like Pokemon Stadium 2, but instead, I get this miserable pile of goat feces otherwise known as Pokemon Battle Revolution. Why did this disaster have to happen? Generation IV as a whole was a big disappoint to me. Only Platinum and HGSS seem to pick themselves out of the crapfest. They're great games, some of my favorites. But nearly every other Pokemon game to hit the market during generation IV, and not just PBR, was a waste of the dollar.

I honestly don't have a least favorite game, I'm not saying I like every game, as I haven't enjoyed playing some of the aforementioned, though there are some games where little effort is shown. It wouldn't have been much to let us play as characters other than Pikachu in Dash, but its obvious GF did not have big plans for the game as they do with the main games.

If you don't count spinoffs, I'm going with FRLG. The music is lazy and boring and sounds like it was done by an amateur remixer.

Plus, who names their kid LOSTELLE?

Out of the spinoffs, I'ma say Colosseum because I didn't have a gamecube and never got the chance to play it >:
...On a serious note, I hate Trozei. The art style is unique, but the gameplay is boring, and the music pisses me off, I'm sorry to say.

It's vintage, darling. ;>

I don't hate any of Pokemon games but my least favorites are probably Trozei, Dash and the first Ranger. I mean I like Ranger games but the first one was awfully hard... (meaning Salamance/Charizard in storyline) I've never beaten it so that's probably why I don't like it very much...

Official or Unofficial? Take your pick.

Unofficial- Pokemon Adventure for the Gameboy Color. It is a terrible ripoff of the Sonic series in which you play as what looks like a man wearing the world's ugliest Pikachu costume. It also has bad physics, bad level design, bad music, everything about it sucks and it's practically unplayable. This pirate is obscure for a good reason.

Official- Dash. Okay, to be honest, I never really played it but the reviews and videos I saw back in the day were enough to give me a good idea on what it was like and it looked bad, I'm glad that I chose Mario Kart DS over that one. What really scared me away was the bad, cramp inducing stylus controls that they apparently shoehorned in and then there was the fact that you could only play as Pikachu.

Three words: Pokemon Puzzle League. I still have it, and I loathe it. Even if you practiced for hours on end, there was always some impossible addition to it a moment before you won. I actually started flinching when I saw the bigger blocks fall.

For me, probably DPPt. It all just went downhill from there... Horrible Pokemon designs, billions of legendaries, terrible "3D" graphics (3rd generation graphics still look the best IMO), extremely slow and boring battle pace, I just couldn't stand it. I made it to the 3rd gym leader before I was ready to kill myself, and I quit and went back to RBY, haha.

I remember accidentally downloading that because of a mis-click on my part back when I was looking for an Emerald ROM. I figured that since I downloaded it, I might as well play with it for a little while before deleting it.

That Pikachu thing still haunts my nightmares to this day. D:

I've never finished D/P...ever. Sinnoh is too large and confusing to traverse, the graphics are quite ugly, and Galactic's storyline is far too cliche to be considered interesting. :/

I'd have to say that Pokemon Pearl and Diamond was terrible. The worst would have to be Pokemon Dash, but everyone pretty much explained why it was. After completing Pokemon Platinum and SoulSilver, I decided to go back a bit before starting on HeartGold. So, I borrowed my friend's Pokemon Pearl that he doesn't play anymore.

After a while, I realized how much better Pokemon Platinum was. Overall, it pretty sucked and I hate some of the sprites. Mind you, some of those sprites survived and got into Pokemon Platinum, and I still hate it. Thank goodness that I chose not to buy it, or it would've been a waste of money.

Pokemon Red and Blue Pinball... It's pinball.

Of the main series, any game from the 3rd gen. Hoenn was just an immensely boring region to traverse with the worst 'evil' teams in the games, and FR/LG felt like very slow versions of the first gen. Didn't help that it treated you like you'd never even played a game in your life.
