The best Pokemon game. All time. Dead serious, was playing it this morning.
Since everything was double battles you actually have to use strategy, unlike the classic, whichever has a type advantage or a higher level always wins
Battles were entertaining to watch (I'll admit the graphics look dated today, such is life)
It featured an intriguing and original way to catch Pokemon and make them your own. (Though the purify chamber kind of made it worthless)
And it's probably the only game that has a marginally acceptable storyline to go along with it. (Black and White were alright I guess)
So yeah, best game, and still my favorite
