Ranking Every Pokemon Game from Worst to Best

Ranking Every Pokemon Game from Worst to Best. The main series Pokemon games. I love all these games so much. Pokemon has played such a big role in my life and I have loved it ever since I was 4 years old in 1998. No matter how much I like or dislike a Pokemon game it’s still pokemon and I appreciate what they have given us over the years. I have played all the Pokemon games over the years, some more than others if that. While I do like all the Pokemon games to a degree there obviously some ones I appreciate more than others and some not so much. Granted I don't hate these games in particular they are just my least favorites of the bunch because like I said earlier I do enjoy all the Pokemon games to some degree I mean it’s Pokemon. With that being said though, today I wanted to take all of my favorite and least favorite games and rank them from worst to best essentially counting down my favorites. How I will be ranking these comes from nostalgia, mechanics they introduced, some specific Pokemon native to that region and a bunch of other stuff. The games on the list will also be in a set for example Pokemon Diamond and Pearl will be together, but Platinum will be separated because even though the games are kind of the same there are some major differences between the sets and the 3rd games. If your favorite game doesn't happen to be my favorite game, don’t complain about it in the comments be courteous to other people and their opinions. Regardless though, I hope you guys enjoy my opinions let’s begin!

ORAS has to be my personal favorite. Everything about that game/those games is phenomenal, from the soundtrack to the world-building. The plethora of new mega evolutions added an extreme amount of playability and diversity to building a team, and the overall story of the game was beyond exceptional. It is a game that I have plugged over 2500 hours into; a game holding a countless amount of memories featuring my friends and me holding weekly tournaments and plugging in illegal codes for hacked legendary Pokémon; a Pokémon game that indubitably trumps all others.

[@UniTheNstall]

I really do like X-Y, it's imo the best region aesthetically. It just lacked in post game challenge (Idc about pre-league challenge, as long as the post game is challenging), and somewhat in storytelling. It also had by far the best anime, so extra points for that.

[@sephikong8323]

I'd personally put X and Y easily in the middle of the list if not a little higher (though I may have a nationalistic bias towards these games). But B&W? Damn, these are my favourite, even before BW2, HGSS and Emerald (and I love all of the aforementioned games) it was just .......... amazing. The story was amazing, the graphics were excellent, the cutscenes blew my mind, I adored the new Pokémon and how they were distributed, there were many good characters, it was challenging and most importantly, not having Pokémon from previous generations before the league was so refreshing, it was as if I was just starting the series all over again. It is the type of experience that can only happen once. I simply love these games so much, and I play them regularly on emulator to this day (don't know how many times I have replayed through them)

[@40GamesAG]

I don’t think X and Y were bad games (then again I don’t think any main series game that has been released is bad) but I think they could’ve done better with the story, the gym leaders and the evil team. Probably doesn’t help the fact that it came out after the masterpiece that is Black and White 2 which I genuinely think is the greatest Pokémon game ever made.

[@sweetteas2467]

Honestly gen 5 is some of the best games in the series (Black and White 2 aswell). Not only did they make an amazing story the soundtrack went with it as well perfectly. Sure they added some crappy Pokémon but that’s the thing they added Pokémon which future generations don’t do. This is why they are one of the best in the series

Platinum, because you can still get Pokémon that were not able to get back in Diamond and Pearl. Black and white two because of their storyline, sun and moon because they got rid of HM’s.

i swear i’m the only one that loves alola. when that game first came out i just ignored it because i thought it looked “stupid” (idk why, cuz i was too cool for new pokemon games). but when i played it i loved it so much because it changed a lot. sun and moon are definitely my favorite games since the series peaked in Gen 4.

[@penggao7034]

Sarah Stevens true

[@TryinBin8889]

As a literature student, Black and White will remain my favourite pokemon game. The story was the most rich for me, the gym leaders had so much personality and the Unova pokemon, though lacking in a few aspects, were very interesting to have as a stand alone. Ghestis' greed being disguised under a serious moral dilema was so smart and interesting and the question was really cool to explore throughout the game. Watching N grow and change and hearing his back story made you really feel apart of the game, and the use of 'black and white' as all or nothing and N realising the world is actually more grey was nice to experience. Seeing Cheren grow too and ask himself why he wanted to be champion apart from a show of strength was nice as well.

[@jonahhite3025]

Leafgreen/Firered are my favorite and Emerald was a close second. Generation 1 and 3 was just a spectacular combination and I can’t find myself playing the new games because the new Pokémon just don’t have the same charm and their designs were getting too complicated. Once the games started getting 3D I stopped playing them extensively. And once you unlocked mega evolutions on your Pokémon, it just got too easy. At least the legendaries weren’t easy to get, having to solve puzzles, fight trainers and random encounters as well as having to catch the Pokémon with extremely low catch rates. Once you got them, it was worth the effort. You could have all of them on one team with no consequence. Now you have to go through a bunch of bullcrap of getting the mega stone of each type and the mega ring, not to mention they had to evolve to Megas during battle in X Y. It was just too much and is why the first 3 generations were my favorite and arguably the best.

[@Jay-xr6dc]

Hgss and platinum 👌 x and y and up there too, the 3D models were awesome and I liked how there was still a difference between trainer overworld models and battle models as it felt more true to pokemon. With the newer games when it’s not like this I find it makes the worlds feel really small. X and y also kicked off my shiny hunting cus seeing shinies in 3D was even better than having them follow me in hgss, mega evolutions were cool too and I wished they’d kept em around. I just wish x and y were more difficult and that the storyline was more memorable (then again pokemon isn’t exactly renowned for its writing). I know everyone hated the rivals in x and y, they weren’t great, but I liked that there was a group of them as sometimes the Pokémon world can feel dormant no one moves g and s gave the phone which helped. I found having multiple rivals to check in on also helped in a similar way. I think they should add in routines in the day and night cycle for the npcs maybe make it so tougher npcs come out at night ect
