>>279918592nd is great, but my fav is still gen 5. Specifically bw2.
>that soundtrack>best sprites>gym battles are hype af (especially with the fanfare at the last pokemon)>that story (in bw1)>N>bw2 aren't just rehashes but have a conpletely different story and new locations>P. W. motherfucking-T>it takes a long time to completely finish bw1's story (go through league 1 time and beat n, go through the rest of the map and then fight the champ)>THAT ELITE 4 MUSIC>hidden abilities bringing new life to every single pkmn>great online (not as good as 6th but better than 4)>easier breeding (still not as good as 6 but still better than 4)>seasons are really cool>most new pokemon added since gen 1, and most (keyword: most) are great designsThe ONLY 2 things that I hate about 5th gen are:
>team preview introduced>NO FUCKING BATTLE FRONTIERIt's still the only gen that I actually enjoy playing for the story. Crystal was my first game ever tho, and I think that hgss are nearly god-tier
