Pt still to this day is probably the best pokemon game as far as mechanics and story. R/B's story was okay but all the routes and non major areas felt the same. GSC were okay, having two regions was awesome until you realize how boring the dex is without gen 1 pokemon. RS was boring but Emerald really picked up. B/W by far the most boring games to play through, every bit of the map felt exactly the same a lot of the story is forgettable, B2/W2 was a massive improvement but still suffered from the shit show that was B/W. XY was an interesting sort of reboot into the franchise with mega evos but a had the same issue of GSC of needing older mons to make the game exciting, S/M were okay and an breath of fresh air with the trials but the new forms of only kanto and the major amount of 1 stage mons felt lazy, Still havent beat USUM due to how boring the variety of pokemon is
