What Is The Best Pokemon Game for Every Kind of Fan? (ft. @TheAuraGuardian )

[@provence8917]

In nearly every point, Gen 5 is somehow mentioned. And I agree with that. These are probably the most fleshed-out games there are.

[@bedeoof5948]

Genwunners : impossible

[@Arzeeree]

While hoenn games mentioned the least

[@JOCoStudio1]

@@Arzeeree I guess they're solid, but not the 'most' at anything. To be fair, X&Y and actual gen 1 Kanto barely came up either

[@craftygui4762]

@@Arzeeree I love Hoenn (I started with gen 3), but I consider generations 4 and 5 as enhanced versions of it. I mean, gen 3 games have good music, fun exploration and beautiful environments, but gen 4 (especially Platinum) kinda had the same elements but remixed for the DS. Except diving for gen 4, the DS games have pretty much all the things that made gen 3 so good. Nothing tops the regi trio quest in terms of exploration, though.

[@Arzeeree]

@@craftygui4762 same thoughts, my first game was emerald so I fell in love with it but its not my fave. Feels like there is something missing that the next gen games (especially the unova games) provided it for me. Hoenn games are still irreplacable in my heart nonetheless

For me, it's Gen 5. The town themes hit different, the battles are challenging, and with the fun dialogue and extra goodies the game is loaded with, it just feels like the devs had a lot of fun making these games the best they could be. I admire the hard work and passion that Unova oozes.

hold up, everybody likes gen 5 now? i remember a few years ago where everyone hated on it and would say it’s the worst game. it’s good to see that it’s getting the love it deserves now!

[@shenalkagunasekera2574]

I feel like Unova was made for an older audience. When it first came the fans were probably more interested in how cool and strong the pokemon were. Unovas pokemon designs were debatably lack luster in comparison ( though some of my favorite designs are from BWBW2) and the starters themselves were actually pretty weak. (Personally I think you can kick ass if you know how to use em properly but yknow...). However as we grew older we became more invested in things like story and characters- having the starters and making the most of them was a fun challenge.. the game showed that it had depth. I love it so much lol

[@shenalkagunasekera2574]

@Rayan Rizwan Hahaha. I love Serperior. It's my second favorite starter actually (first being Infernape). And yes Contrary Serperior is freaking bawse. But you know- was just going off the BSTs

[@negativedawn136]

The black and white anime still sucks though while the games are amazing

[@moonkingkei5547]

Most people always liked gen 5, it’s just that there were a couple of genwunners who constantly spammed on every gen 5 video complaining about Trubbish and Vanillish lines’ designs. There was a lot of fanfare for gen 5 when it came out, from the fully animated battle animations to the camera rotating in Casetelia City. Just look up “Pokémon Wonder Drug,” it was a huge meme that came out around that time, fans did one on probably every gen 5 Pokémon; there were so many. I used to spend hours just watching all the different versions of the meme. There was definitely always a lot of love for gen 5, but you mostly only remember all the fistfighting from genwunners because really that annoying stuff is hard to forget. They were rampant.

[@kayleighbrown459]

Don't get me wrong, I still hate gen 5 pokemon for the most part, but the story is amazing and the region is a lot nicer the second time playing the game.

[@ab07corpuzjohndominics.12]

[@keanorilus]

I agreed with almost all of these expect for Shiny Hunting something I would say I get the most out of my games. Let’s Go overworld sparkles are great but they become more of an annoyance especially when sky encounters are added in the post game, as most of the time you just have to sit there. I would say HGSS and B2W2 are easily the best due to the wide range of legendaries, gift Pokémon, and amazing hunts. For example double grass and game corner are incredible to go back to each time. If you enjoy Method Hunting more I’d say the best are probably ORAS, Dex Nav, Fish Chaining, Hoards, and so many huntable Legends. With all of these if you are determined enough the shiny charm is there if you want it. Those are just my experienced two cents. Loved the video Ron and Alex! Hope for more collaborations.

[@Xman34washere]

I would ask but the logo

[@Its_SaberHG]

I would say Gen 6. That game had the BEST shiny method, the radar chain. I love how they had a way to implement skill and reward into shiny hunting. It was hard to use and master but when you do master it, it is very rewarding

[@jyotibhargava5493]

Unova.

Less than 10 seconds on shiny hunting surprised me, allow me to redress the balance. Let's Go is indeed the most accessible traditional game however Pokemon Go has regular events releasing or boosting the odds of particular shiny Pokemon providing a varied, if unchallenging experience. Honerable mentions also go to USUM and ORAS. USUM has a reliable SOS mechanic making hunting a specific Pokemon much easier than random encounters, incredible wormhole odds and a large selection of available legendary and ultra beasts to shiny hunt. ORAS also boasts a large cast of huntable legendary Pokemon as well as DexNav and chain fishing methods to boost your odds. Shoutouts to the Johto games and B2W2 for having guaranteed shiny Pokemon with the red Gyarados in the former and Haxorus in the latter with an additional Gible in Black 2 and Dratini in White 2. Whether these count under shiny hunting is debatable but they at least deserve the mention. If however you are a full-odds purist then you already know what you like, specifically gens 1-5 since all have uniquely interesting and challenging hunts and have a 1/8192 chance as opposed to later games sporting a 1/4096 shiny rate.

Yeah me to

It is, look at his twitter

[@LaySuperMarioLover]

Good video, Alex & Ron! It is amazing how you laid out every positive aspect of every main series game, from the importance of difficulty progressions, to characters, to the music. I really like how you two did this video! Continue being awesome in the future! I subbed to your channel, Ron! I love your and Alex' video content!

[@lssjgaming1599]

Gen 5 is my favorite generation and I see it is mentioned a lot for being th e bed Tina. Lot of aspects and I agree. I wish we could get the story quality of Black and White in the future games. Also due to living in Northern Jersey near the NY border it feels like home

[@felix5012]

Ahh i love this type of videos, were you point out the best part and features of every game, loving every region for what it has and not hating it for what it hasn't. Nice video :)

[@SJrad]

I actually argue that the best shiny hunting experience is both XY and ORAS in terms of variety of hunting methods and challenge.

[@tobi8220]

what is the background music starting at 6:31 ?? i love it a lot

[@thatoneguy104]

I think for me, the best games are Sword and shield are the best for me because I love collecting Pokémon and filling the dex. But I love all the regions and games I’ve played (Shield, Let’s Go Eevee, Ultra Sun / Moon, Omega Ruby, X)

[@Swaxeman]

I see that you’re a 3D guy like me.

[@QuagFire101]

No offense, but I'd predict the reason why you say shield is your favorite pokemon game is only because you haven't played gen 4 or 5.

[@Swaxeman]

DrCalamari I’ve played gen 5, but from what I’ve seen, gen 4 is slow, has too many HMs, and has a forgettable soundtrack, with only a few exeptions. Now compare that to USUM, my favorite games, because they really only have one main flaw, being the cutscenes, but the music, Pokémon designs, region, difficulty, postgame, story and characters all outweighs that one negative.

[@killax5628]

DrCalamari or maybe sword and shield is just fun🤷🏾‍♂️

[@QuagFire101]

@@killax5628 They are. I'm just remarking how weird it is to see someone say SwSh is their favorite.

[@caleb_p_music]

In my opinion I think gen 3 or 5 are the best. They both have really good storylines which what I mainly want in games and sometimes a challenge.

[@LX3CT_639]

For me its gen 3 since that is my game and thought every pokemon was in gen 3. For me it is the best.

[@redwoodskyclonejayzplayz3063]

I'm glad to see that gen 5 is the best generation overall, since it has always been my favorite.

[@louiepikmin3184]

So the take away of this video is gens 4 and 5 are the best and gens 7 and 8 are way better than people give them credit for

[@DivineDEC]

When your gym battles soundtrack beats almost every other soundtrack from most of the games (barring a handful) you know you've got a good one.

[@lautaro.O.L.]

Musically, Hoenn's victory road... WOW

[@shadowshade904]

I love this! It's true what you say, every Pokemon game has it's strengths and weaknesses, and which Pokemon game is best totally depends on what you value in a game. For me, the two main things I most value in Pokemon are the story, the characters, and the vibes. I absolutely love Sun & Moon, because it has an exciting and engaging story, great characters (I adore Team Skull), and the whole tropical island feel was perfect. I also love Sword & Shield, and used to get really upset when people hated on it. I think out of all the Pokemon games I played so far, that one is the best at capturing the feeling of being a Pokemon trainer aiming to become a champion. You really feel like you're some kind of sports player rising in popularity are competing in big championships. Plus like you said it has some great towns, and not to mention it also has some amazing characters (I litteraly went through a whole rollercoaster of emotions with Bede. At first I just found him slightly annoying and satisfying to beat, then after he upset Hop I really hated him and took great joy in beating him, but by the end of the game after seeing him complete his arc I was actually really happy for him) X & Y is also one I enjoy. Although I find the story and the characters to be a bit lacking, the vibes in that game are SO GOOD. There are so many memorable areas in that game! Also the X & Y anime was amazing so it gets some bonus points from me just for that I played Black & White a long time ago and I can't really remember much about it, but I'm planning on playing it again soon and based on what I do remember about the game I think it has a very good chance of because my new favorite Pokemon game

[@aerongabriel6102]

The hate for Gen 5 started because of the anime. But the Gen 5 games are sick 🔥

[@justaggram5847]

you guys are two of my favorite Pokémon KZbinrs!!

[@onionhombre]

Gen 5 was the most fun to catch every Pokémon for the regional dex imo

[@aroobism]

Either Gen 5 or gen 7 with a gen 4 remake being up there soon

[@Lordodragonss]

5 gen is best at all. But Best Pokemon experience I had in years is Unironicaly Pixelmon mod for Minecraft. It also weird you havent include Pokemon Go.

[@abarette_]

Pokemon Go is spinoff, somehow

[@diamondassassin1292]

Go is a spinoff. They talk about it in Theauraguardian's video.

[@nyromath2195]

As a shiny hunter, Let's Go's overworld shinies are really cool, but the catch combo method gets old quick. My favourite shiny hunting game is X/Y, thanks to the abundance of methods. Horde Hunting and Friend Safari are great for a limited range of quick, lazy shinies, Chain Fishing is perfect for picking up the game and grabbing a shiny, without making it stupidly easy for you. Then the Pokeradar is my personal favourite shiny hunting method ever, even though I suck at it. I only wish there were more grass patches large enough for it...

[@viperv6768]

So I need opinions: should I buy moon or ultra moon? I care decent bit about the story and am a fairly casual pokemon fan. I've heard that the story of moon is better, but that ultra is better in almost every other way. Is this true?

[@crystalaria4840]

As someone who's favorite games are USUM, Id say go with Ultra Moon. It has a much larger dex, new characters, are more challenging, have more plot points, have a whole Rainbow Rocket episode, have the Ultra Warp ride, more music and go a bit faster than Sun and Moon. Many issues like the health bar are also fixed. USUM also have the Alola photo club in which you can take cute and dynamic pics with your partner Pokemon and edit them. Overall, both are great games, and I would even say that S/M had a better story, but the USUM story was still spectacular and it comes with a ton of new features which would likley make your experience more fun. Sorry if this got too long lol, I just love these games so much

[@alphabet_god1175]

Buy ultra moon, imo the story is better than normal moon, as well as everything else about it. If you want to but normal moon go ahead, but if you buy ultra moon I’m sure you won’t be disappointed

[@Mynx_johnn]

My favorite game will always be HeartGold and SoulSilver, such nostalgia with those games. Always thought gen 2 was so fun to play in, and the style of the gen 4 games was always peak pokemon to me.

[@xaluephire1859]

Bw2 are the best games, no questions needed It's taken 7 years but I'm glad people know that they are the best games

[@megaagentj2248]

A detail that feels really wierd that it was missed is accessibility of most pokemon, it doesn’t matter if a region has 800 pokemon if by the time your team would be done (usually for me the 2nd gym, though most people would probably have it done by gym 4), you’d have access to like 250 mons. I want to use a Golurk in my team, but lets be real, most games reserve Golett and Golurk for level 30

[@i4bgl]

black 2 is up there wayy above everything else for me. the story the music the art style all just perfect

[@phasaria]

something with the music i want to add HOLY TEAM YELLS THEME IS SOOO GOOD!

[@hollyhartwick3832]

I was born and raised in England but have lived in the US for the last two decades. I fell in love with Sword and Shield like no other Pokémon game because it’s so faithful to real life it’s been almost like a trip back home.

[@zaidhernandez4601]

Black and white 2 was the best definitely

[@bdogm412]

This video makes every pokemon game look awesome

[@giboit.]

I think the Gen 8 games should be mentioned in the lure category as well. Every single pokemon has some kind of connection British culture and the legendaries, the region itself, their lifestyle and many other things are highly tied to the past of the region, to the legend of Galar and to the dynamax/gigantamax phenomenon.

[@kerrywien6775]

Pokémon Sword and Shield are the best Pokémon Games in my opinion, galar is my favorite 😍 region, galar is so diverse with the wild area, mini islands in some routes, dungeons, caves, ruins and tundra in the crown tundra and I have purchased both DLC and I just love 💕 galar even more. The newer areas in galar (mainly the crown tundra) is big and I get lost pretty easily in some of the areas in the crown tundra postgame and a new town freezington and many more in the postgame and this alone makes galar the best region in Pokémon.

[@crispy6033]

For me, it’s hoenn. Alpha Sapphire was my first Pokémon game ever and I played the hell out of it. I finally managed to build a living oras Pokédex this summer and it feels like a 6 year journey has been put to rest. It’s sad but it feels right. Also sun and moon were the first Pokémon games I waited for, and the music is really nostalgic

[@abarette_]

I think Emerald should've be mentioned more times. Especially in region and original things categories (where Alola would've took the top lol).

Emerald should be top, so many systems introduced...

[@victino1684]

When it comes to large cities to explore with many things to do, Pokémon Black and White and X and Y are the best Pokémon games with Castelia City and Lumiose City respectively. Goldenrod City from the Johto region in HeartGold and SoulSilver is an honourable mention.

[@no-do5od]

I feel like Pokémon Emerald is the best for me, (even tho I don’t have anything to play it on 😞) because my favorite Pokémon is Rayquaza and, I like Emeralds the best! I also like fish, so Sapphire and Alpha Sapphire are good for me too! I wish they would make a new Pokémon Emerald, like they did with Pokémon Sapphire and Ruby! Well, that’s just for me, so, yeah. I hope everyone has a awesome day, night, and remember that you are loved. Please stay safe! 😊💙❤️💚 Oh, yeah, my favorite starters are Mudkip, Torchic, and Treeko, so another reason :P
