Out of all Pokémon games, which is your favourite? And by favourite I mean which do you play the most without becoming bored, which has the best storyline, and just based on the enjoyability of the game in general. Explain in a post because I'd love to see other Pokécommunity favourites!

Personally I love Pokémon Firered! This game is also the reason for me getting into Pokémon, I got it when I was only 7! My first game got over 850 hours playing time, when I was getting older I was losing interest in Pokémon, but then about 2 weeks ago I bought Pokémon Firered for the second time nonstop playing I was! Here are the love's of Pokémon Firered:
  • It has a great storyline to it, even after the Elite 4.
  • My favourite of all starters.
  • Of all Pokémon the original 151 are my favourite!
  • The nexts games; Ruby and Sapphire aren't as good as Firered and Leafgreen simply for their lack of 'realisticness'. What I mean by this is that I think Firered and Leafgreen look more realistic, does anyone else agree?
  • The levels od the elite four are alot higher then the next games out on portable consoles.
  • Purely because I treasure this game and always have for years!
My flaws to the game:
  • Why wasn't there a Pokémon Waterblue with Leafgreen and Firered!?
  • Slight lack of legendary Pokémon.
Remember this is just my opinion, please; feel free to give feedback to my opinion! And yes, I have played many other Pokémon games!

Fire Red/Leaf Green for me since they're easy to get into, are rather addictive even by Pokemon standards, and still a good amount of stuff to do after the E4. Platinum, RSE, GSC, and the Gamecube series come close though and yes I know that's a lot but sorting it all out would take forever so I'm going with FR/LG solely in the end.

It's hard to pick. I loved the original Silver and was sad when it stopped working. For me, it's a tie between SoulSilver and Platinum. SoulSilver lets me replay my old favorite updated and upgraded, but Platinum was amazing for introducing Origin Forme Giratina and the Distortion World.

My vote went to soul silver. In the 4th Gen HG/SS there was so much to do in those games! I had a blast cross training in Kanto and Johto! 16 gyms...amazing! Pokemon following you even shiny sprites....I loved it! The pokewalker.....I used it once but they have it! lol Batting red was definitely awesome. Beating trainers along the way and having them call you out the blue was amazing it felt like I had a real phone. You can even call up gym leaders and battle again! Oh yeah and a battle frontier! Soul silver has me won over.

The poll seems a bit flawed. The paired games are close similar enough that they might as well share one slot. I Like HeartGold and SoulSilver but they're not different enough for me to give an edge to one or the other simply because I may prefer Lugia or Ho-oh. >_>

It changes all the time.
Right now, my favourite game is Platinum with Emerald second and HeartGold third.
I tend to prefer the 'third' games (Crystal, Yellow, Emerald etc.) and remakes after all the games in that generation have been released, because the 'third' game expands on the first two, while I enjoy remakes regardless.

I voted for leaf Green though technically it's tied with Platinum. A cute girl protagonist goes a long way, at least in my book :) But Platinum had the best gameplay elements of them all thus far.

Special props goes to the GameCube series for having the best storyline of them all.

If I could have selected more than one it would have probably been Yellow (which I voted for now) and S/E. I loved 2nd gen too but I can't remember much of playing the games.

It is a toss up between Pokemon Yellow and Pokemon Emerald.
I have played all the games, but these two really stuck out for me and I have had a craving, recently, to play both of these games. I lost my Pokemon Yellow a while back, so I am currently on the hunt to replace it! :3

My favorite game is definitely Pokemon Emerald! I've got about... four or five roms of it, and each has waaay over 50 hours logged on it. Each hour was either in school or intruding on my sleeping time. :X I loved the storyline (though, it does get boring after that many runs) and the Battle Frontier always presents a good challenge!

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. I love the plot and the ability to be a Pokemon the best. My second favorite game is Emerald because it was my first Pokemon game!
