>>31898860If we're talking narrative, Black/White and Sun/Moon get points just for trying a little harder in that department than the other games.
If we're talking lore, Diamond/Pearl with Ruby/Sapphire as a close second.
If we're talking "the makings of a great story are here but we did nothing to convey it to the players", Gen 1 and 2. A lot of interesting shit happens off screen in those games and some of the characters have potentially interesting backstories but they're never talked about.
