>>47727005I'm still going to argue BW are the most competent first versions, although RS isn't that far behind and if DP actually ran well I might consider it good as well. RS lacks postgame, which if we consider the franchise as a whole isn't a problem because only one game at the time did, but that game preceded it and also had a lot to do (quality of some of it aside). DP rectified that, but is also just a chore to play in general.
>>47727011The game chugs in battles whenever it's not just two Pokemon standing in the same position they do in every other game, and they apparently couldn't get the 3DS's 3D working on the overworld, I wouldn't call it particularly polished. Maybe if you're comparing it to Super Mario Sunshine or Wind Waker, I'd consider it on the same level of polish as that. It's not Sonic 06 or anything.
