Although Pokemon games generally follow the same storyline, a young trainer setting out on a journey to become the league champion, there's always some sort of catastrophe and evil teams that the player has to take on. So what's your favourite storyline, is it the goals of domination from a criminal organization, the battle of nature from the land and sea, or creatures crossing from another dimension to cause chaos?

I dunno if I could really pick a favorite. I really enjoyed Gen 4 even though it didn't introduce any major twists and had a pretty similar plot to several of the games before it, but it was really well-done for what it was and I enjoyed it a ton. I also adore Gen 5's storyline - it made a lot of changes to what had until then been the "tried and true" plot formula basically all previous Pokémon games had employed, and it made an amazing product in the process.
Sun & Moon was okay, but there are ways of making characters interesting besides having them show up for a cutscene in every single area. imo Silver was one of the earliest examples of a really well-done and dynamic character despite only showing up every few cities for a battle and then running off.

It's a toss up between DPPT & SM.
I'm still finding it hard to say which I prefer of these two games, but the plot of both heavily influences my reasoning for having them as my top favourites. Both storylines provide depth, fantastic character development, and both are easily the standout memorable storylines for me personally. If I were pushed for a choice then I'd probably say Sun & Moon storyline wise. I loved the pacing throughout the whole game, and I also loved how the Aether Foundation twist was executed, it still felt like a shock despite it being somewhat implied that they were up to no good.

My favorite storyline has to be BW's. The characters and their developments really showed how much game freak put effort into those games. For example take N who was basically brainwashed to release all the pokemon, turned into a confident trainer who still cared for pokemon, but in a pure way.
