[21 / 2 / ?]
TIME FOR A DEBATE /VP/ It's Friday night and there's been a lot of heated threads all day discussing gen 6 and past gens. Some have gotten so tense that they were closed down, it's that fucking serious. So you know what, we're going to TRY to settle this right here, right now. This isn't a damn strawpoll thread, oh no, this is a legit debate yall ITT: WHICH MAINGAME IS THE BEST>Pokemon Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Gold, Silver, Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire, Colosseum, FireRed, LeafGreen, GOD, Emerald, Diamond, Pearl, PBR, Platinum, HeartGold, SoulSilver, Black, White, Black2, White2, X, or Y

For a poster I was previously replying to before that other thread got deleted. I'm pretty sure he knows who he is. B/W were better than B/W2 though. B/W2 was for fucking plebs that couldn't into new. Let's do what you're doing, but with X/Y>Introduce 72 new pokemon >QUALITY NOT QUANTITY GUYS Are you fucking seriously just gonna eat that shit up?>Post-game ...>Battle Maison is the worst iteration of the Battle Tower yet At least with Battle Subway it gave off the impression you were battling in a moving vehicle, X/Y's battle facility feels tame and boring as all hell in comparison>The game's gym leaders are total pushovers, even moreso than B/W's which I can admit were pushovers themselves Dude, HAHAHAHAH>GROOM YOUR FURFROU SHOOT A 10 SECOND PR VIDEO! Wow, it's fucking nothin>Electric guitar fucking everywhere Naw thanks dude, I'm all bout pianos and what have you. >The champion is bizarro Cynthia and has no story, and doesn't contribute at all to the overall plot. >X/Y rivals worst by far One wants to be a stripper, the other's dick whipped, another just wants to compare fucking encyclopedias, while the last is a copy-paste Brendan/May>3D and customization I'd list Mega Evolutions, but it's a good concept executed fucking terribly with Deviant art tier designs.>X/Y >In charge of even having a story >Mass amount of old pokemon to compensate for lack of new ones. I'm done, fucking done.

>>15479596 The best maingames are without a doubt Gold/Silver
>Simple mainstory >200+ Pokemon to catch >A second region to explore after you're done with the first one >Two new types >Final battle is against the original protagonist How fucking better can a game be?

Gold/Silver have best overall main game with 2 regions and 16 gyms and shit. X/Y have best overall gameplay and combat, least HM requirements also nice. Also online features are pretty good. B/W2 have best post game with world tournament.

BW were the best INTRO game for a Generation. It really recaptured the magic I had in Gen 1. Platinum and HG/SS are the best polished games to be released. Emerald will and shall forever have the best Battle Frontier type area

Nostalgia makes HGSS my favorite for main game, if you see the main game in it ending with Lance. Otherwise though, I'd most likely say Platinum, or maybe BW2. That's just my opinion though.

>>15479596 Emerald is the best maingame.
Why you may ask? Well for starters..
>Battle Frontier with seven fucking facilities, a small cave to grind in, and a free Sudowoodo >You can catch Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza in cool little post-game events, and you can even catch Rayquaza before you hit the League >Two teams to face off against instead of one like every other fucking maingame >Is there anyone who legit actually hates Hoenn's soundtrack? >The Mother Fucking Regi and Eon Hunt >With trading, every single Pokemon is available >Johto starters after you beat the game >Faraway Island, Navel Rock, and Birth Island >The Mirage Tower for fossils and shit >Trainer Hill for even more fucking post-game tournament-like fun >A bunch of Berry, EV, and IV improvements >YOU CAN RE-BATTLE EVERY FUCKING TRAINER IN THE GAME WITH MATCH CALL AND THEY ALL HAVE STRONGER TEAMS >After you beat the game, you get to battle the previous Champion of Hoenn, Steven, deep within Meteor Falls, in a similar manner to Red and he's powerful as fuck and will rape your fire-types And if not Emerald, then Platinum since it includes almost all of this but also the amazing multiplayer improvements.

>>15479752 >X/Y >least HM requirements Hell no. Strength and Cut were used fucking everywhere and Surf was required (though that's not a big deal). B/W had the least HM requirements of them all, which B/W2 ruined.

Pokemon games are pretty weird in that each game usually does strongly in a couple of areas but very poorly in a couple others. I'd say that BW1 is the best in the sense that it's the most "well-rounded" and the game I'd use to introduce someone into the franchise.>Best plot (relative statement, considering this is Pokemon we're talking about) >Good post-game >Easy to jump into competitively, with easy grinding spots and the breeding changes from Gen 4 >Very little HM reliance >Introduced reusable TMs, triple battles, and rotational battles >Good rivals, they were challenging compared to other rivals and each went through their own character development, plus one of them actually became the champion. >Good team, if you talk to the Plasma grunts you can see that there's several different schools of thought within the team, making it feel like a team composed of different individuals instead of this homogenous blob of evil >Gym leaders who actually do shit >AI is competent by Pokemon standards and have good movesets >Pretty solid Pokedex, each type (except Ice, lel) is well-represented >Introduced animated sprites making battles feel more dyamic
