Definitely HGSS. The game feels the most like an immersive pokemon worldto me, with large dungeons to explore and lot's of places to see and following pokemon to really make me feel like they exist. The amount of side stuff to do just can't be matched, between the safari zone, which had me constantly switching around blocks for new mons, the bug catching contests which change daily in the post game, and the pokeathlon which is just loads of fun in general, and that's not even mentioning the Battle frontier and voltorb flip, along with the fucking 16 gym leader rematches the elite four rematches, and the regular trainer rematches of which there's like fucking 60. They all call you on a cell phone too and have existent personalities. Like fuck, u can even see the characters going about their lives in the overworld depending on place and time, and you can organize trades with some of the gym leaders. Damn, i fucking miss when the games were filled with these little touches that really made the whole experience feel like it mattered
