Pokemon: 5=3>1>4>2
Gen 2 was god awful. There were some good like Heracross, and then the other 90% were bullshit like skiploom and fucking BABY Pokemon. Gen 3's Pokemon were fine. We just never saw them because hurrsurfsurfsurf here's tentacruel and zubat you're welcome. Gen 1 was held back by technical limitations. Gen 4 was pretty meh or bad. Gen 5 had problems, but the least.
Storyline: BW>Pt=E>1=2=BW2>4>R>S
Should be self-explainatory. Game with story is better than two games with slightly improved non-story, which is better than generic "do bad things" story, better than "what are we even doing" story, better than "EXPAND THE LANDMASSES NOTHING COULD GO WRONG", which is way better than "DROWN THE EARTH"
Music: 2=5>4>1>3
Some of HG/SS's tracks were fantastic. Even going back with the classic song item thing, they were still great. Gen 5 played a lot with its music and really made it work. 4 had a few more "epic" and memorable themes than 1. 3 was trumpets.
Map: 2>3>1>5>4
2 had a great map, but was half-empty. 3 was varied for the first 2/3 of the game before water. Fucking desert, volcano, resultant ash valley, cool-ass caves. Goddamn. 1 was basic. 5 was linear and half-unexplored and empty as well. Half of 4 was the same cave and snow. Shit was awful.
Main NPC's: 5>1>2>3>4
5 made the gym leaders into actual fucking characters. 1 was classic, so everyone remembers the cast. 2 would be lower, but HG/SS gave some characters actual personalities. 3 was all forgettable and useless except like, two. And 4 only had Cynthia and three or four girls to fap to. I don't even remember the first gym leader's name. Or any of the goddamned Elite 4.
