There's a few, but first and foremost, for me, would definitely have to be Pokémon Emerald. Love all maps, music, and characters that they have--they're all unique and different in their own, respective way--and the plot this game carries is super-engaging. Plus, unlike Ruby and Sapphire, this game's also got access to a place known as Battle Frontier, which I remember having a ton of fun exploring.

Up next are X and Y. Although they do kind of lack in terms of storytelling, but what makes me like these two games is their features. One's got to be player customization, which is something I've always wanted to see in Pokémon games.

Mine is, as it still is at this very time, Black 2 and White 2. The games have so much to do, lots of Pokémon to choose from to make a team out of, the climax of the story being amazing (with Ghetsis trying to impale you with Kyurem, but N saves you only to find out that that was part of his very plan), Iris being a very cool Champion to me with a sick battlefield and music using lots of Pokémon that I really like (especially on Challenge Mode), and then there's the post-game which just makes it all the more enjoyable. I've played through the games so many times and it's just so much fun for me.

X and Y are second. They too have amazing variety, and the 3D made everything more lively, along with customization, and how much easier breeding is, it was a big step forward for the franchise.

Those two are my big favorites. But will Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire take the spots of either one of them?

I do not know if this counts but my favorite Pokemon game is.......actually it is 2 games PMD Red/Blue rescue team and Time/Darkness/Sky because they are the only games that have ever made me cry or to be more precise ball my eyes out mostly because of the ending and the fantastic story telling that'll do Chunsoft that'll do also ign don't really like ign that much anymore because they gave it a bad review on both games and anyone that has played these games know that you must never judge a game on what someone else says you must trust your instincts why do I talk wiser when I talk about this game?

Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, without a doubt. While B1W1 told a much interesting story, B2W2 had tons of fun things to offer. Usually in the Pokémon games, there isn't much to do post-game. In B2W2, however, there are many things to do, from the PWT, to hunting Legendaries, to the Black Tower/White Tree Hollow. Not only that, but the story is interesting and the music is fantastic as always. I really wish we had more Pokémon games like B2W2 in the ways of post-game content, as I played countless hours on that game.

Heartgold and Soulsilver. Johto is my favorite region, and G/S/C were my favorite games. So it's a no brainer HGSS are my all time favorites! The graphics, music, follow-me feature, I loved it all! Plus, we were still able to travel to Kanto which was awesome.

Pokemon Platinum.

I liked it because it had a more fleshed out story than Diamond and Pearl. Giratina and Cyrus' role in the story this time around seemed a lot better than in previous renditions, and Cynthia became more of a companion in this game. I liked it because it had one of my favourite locations in a video game, the Distortion World, introduced in it. I liked it because of the minute changes it had from D/P, such as the clouds covering the Eterna Forest, and Rotom being able to be catched after your battle with Gardenia.

But most of all, I liked it because it improved on what made Diamond and Pearl so great.

Mine has to be HGSS.

Reasons would be the post-league contents aka. the Kanto region and Red. Oh don't take me badly, I like GSC as well, but the updated graphics and music stood out. Plus, there's the Pokeathlon, the Battle Frontier, the Safari Zone, and a lot more legendaries to catch. And we also get to walk with our Pokemon, which is one feature that I hope will return in future games. I've spent hours playing both HGSS.

Next in line would be... BW/B2W2! Okay, most of the reason is because of the storyline. I fell in love with both of the stories of Gen 5, but there's still a lot of flaws in this Gen (exp mechanics...).

Pretty sure that ORAS will take a place if it manages to make me play the game again and again.

Pokemon HGSS is my favorite by far. I just had a fun time enjoying the gameplay, and with all the new features such as walking Pokemon, the Pokeathlon and much more. It's been a few years since I completed these games, and yet I find myself coming back to them just because of its replay value. :)

Emerald comes close, because nostalgia

It's basically Diamond and Pearl in one big game. Cynthia being a more "helpful" champion, unlike in D/P and other champions. I loved the story line. Cyrus is my favorite antagonists. Cynthia is by far the best Champion. She was such a difficult challenge.

My second would be either Black and White 2 or X and Y. I liked BW/2 mainly due to the insanely good music. X and Y due to the customizations.

Definitely Black and White 2. Can't say why for sure, but they just gave me the most enjoyment. In general I love the darker, more edgy tone of 5th gen, the entire storyline is great, and the sequels in particular have so much to do, see, and explore. Awesome games :)

I've gotta say HeartGold was a fantastic game and is probably my favorite of all the games. The Johto region is awesome and this game made it even better. I loved playing through it and quite possibly will again sometime soon.

Next up is FireRed and it's very close. I tend to be a genwunner more than I'd care to admit (or even than I want to be), so this game is very close to me. I'm constantly playing through it and pretty much always have a running file going on it.

EDIT: I do have to mention that Omega Ruby may make me change my mind, but we'll see.

Mine will always be the original Pokémon Silver, don't get me wrong I loved so many of the features of HGSS but for me the charm of the original game has been impossible to beat. It was the first hand-held Pokémon game I ever played (and honestly the game I've re-played the most); and with its Day/Night feature, use of the phone, Apricorns, Bug-Catching contests, two regions and starters (which are collectively my favourite of any gen), I think it was a pretty good place to start lol :)

My favorite game is Crystal, easily. I started with Gold, fell in love with it, and I loved the rival to pieces. I enjoyed the night and day, I enjoyed the music, and it was a perfect game to start seeing as it not only surprises you with a whole new region after all the work you do to get to the Elite Four, but to get to Mt. Silver and battle a really crazy strong trainer who has nothing to say to you... So mysterious and awesome.

I've said this a million times and I will say it again...
Pokemon Gold, Silver and Crystal make the other Pokemon games look like crap in comparison. Those games blew my mind and no other Pokemon game has even come close.

It's really hard for me to pick a favorite because they are all good in their own way. HeartGold/SoulSilver would be my choice because of white variety of things the game has to offer. All the legendaries you can catch and even two different regions! Honorable mention goes to Pokemon Colosseum and Gale of Darkness. Those were really good games I really wish they would something like again for the Wii. Battle revolution doesn't count haha.

As of right now, Pokemon Emerald (though I think that's going to change during the coming weeks :P). I love Emerald because, as a Meteorology fan, I love the plot, and the fact that you get to battle both villainous teams. Also, sooo much post game stuff. My perfect game!

Pokémon BW2 have been my favourites ever since their release. I love the gameplay, it was well polished. The battles are fast and well-paced, the storyline was a bit different and unexpected compared to other Pokémon games (A villain that tries to kill you? Blasphemy!) and I personally really, really liked the Pokémon designs, even though that's where most people fall off on. I also enjoyed the feel of how modern the games was in comparison to every other game in the franchise.

HeartGold and SoulSilver are definitely up there for me in the top five, aha. They not only carry plot of Gold, Silver, and Crystal, which I've found to be pretty engaging, but they had also contained some great features that we found ourselves enjoying, such as following-Pokémon, Pokéathlon, and so forth. It sucks that none of them were able to make it into future games, though; would've been sweet if they were.

Hmm out of all the games I've had so far....
#1Sapphire as my first game I loved it and it would feel wrong to place it any lower. Emerald would also go here, because I recently started playing it and I can't remember laughing so much at Sapphire. (AS as well)
#2 Blue I loved Kanto and the Kanto Pokemon and I still think your rival is nicer to you than people give credit for. Yellow is also placed here.
#3Silver I LOVE JOHTO don't mean to sound like a genwunner but I honestly think gen II was best. As well as it's remakes, although I haven't gotten to play them yet. Planning on nuzlockeing with my sister on them though. XD
#4 PMD 2 I never cry, but watching Chikorita walk away head down like that broke me. ;-;
#5 White I absolutely love the storyline!! Normally I don't like 'super nice let's-be-bffs' rivals, but the obvious back story they give to you, Cheren, and Bianca is too cute, plus we still got N for the 'doesn't care about you' side.~ Although I'm still playing through White 2 right now, I honestly love both.

Remember-This list is closely bunched together in terms of faves, with every other Pokemon game pretty much taking sixth. XD
