Favorite game to do Challenges with?

See title :3 Older games are perfect for re-enjoying via challenges, so this is a general question regarding the non-current titles (aka not SwSh).

If you're not doing grand challenges across several titles, or challenges that require a specific game, do you happen to have a favorite Pokémon Version that you've done more challenge runs with than other versions?

Or maybe there's versions that objectively actually are easier/more fun to do certain challenge runs with?

I don't usually do challenges, but I kind of think gen vi is a pretty good series to do them, because there's a bunch of quality of life upgrades that make gameplay easier (which I know is kind of the opposite intention of challenges, but less grinding is always good to me). For instance, the Pokenav in ORAS is so useful, and Super Training can help quite a bit.

RSE are my go-to games for challenges, just because they're what i know best so when i'm looking to do more difficult things, i feel more comfortable and suited to hoenn. i'll do a challenge in any game, though. when deciding on a challenge, it just depends on what i'm really feeling in the mood for. like i get a specific...craving, so to speak lol. i've been really wanting to do a first stage water monotype in HGSS, a bug mono in GSC, wonderlocke in shield, etc. just depends on the challenge itself and what vibe it gives me ig. i've done most challenges in RSE and BW/BW2 i think, if i had to put a count on it.

Gen 3 games are great for me imo for challenges. While I've done a few with FRLG, I tend to prefer RSE for this.

I'm not one to do challenges much, but when I try nuzlockes I usually just end up replaying emerald. I don't even think it's the best game to do this, but I keep returning for some reason.

I like coming up with a lot of creative challenges when I play gen 1 games in particular. Those games are pretty open world-ish and have only a barebones story that doesn't drag things out too much, as well as a lot of replay value due to all the available species to them. That's what makes it so easy for me to just pick up the games and have another quick playthrough with whatever rules I impose on them.

I only recently started to do challenges with normal games but earlier I used to do Randomizers, I really love randomizers and Infact, I am bout to do a diamond randomised challenge after I finish my current Blaze Black 2 nuzlocke challenge. My all time favourite gen to have a challenge in, well, not decided yet because normal nuzlockes are a bit different than randoms..

GSC! I've not done many but it's a lot of fun for me to replay gen 2 for this stuff. Oh, and RSE ❤️

Sixth generation, specifically XY, because of the amzing life quality and there is rarely need to grind. Also, it has an amazing dex.

I did a few challenges in Black 2 because I could trade mons from Black 1 using my NDS and my 3DS. It was the only time I could use two consoles on my own
