Thanks, Doc. Also, BW left a pretty strong impression on me early on. Characters established, first gym battle being out of the norm, enemy team paraded out with a surprisingly sympathetic motive (at the start), not a single prior-gen Pokemon encountered. Gave the sense that it was genuinely a fresh start for Pokemon. Like a reboot, rather than yet another entry. Had me hooked and revitalized like no other mainline entry has. Despite some of the weak points later on, I think that's why it remains my favorite.
