>>51322566>red/green/bluesovl, doesn't take itself too seriously and has good art
>yellowincredibly forgettable and yellow is kind of annoying, but kind of a decent epilogue
>gold/silverpretty decent; starts out meh but gets better
>crystalpainfully boring and tedious, genuinely a chore to read and nearly made me drop the series
>ruby/sapphirethe best one; takes itself super seriously but is INSANELY over the top, I love it lol. Also some actually good character development for the main pair and great dialogue
>emeraldfirst arc I actually skipped on reread, even the stupid fanservicey ending couldn't save it
>diamond/pearl kind of have to be in the right mood to read it, and definitely starts slow (like the game lmao). can actually be pretty good though
(dropped the series after this though since I was pirating all of it about a decade or so ago and couldn't find the rest; I have the first 4 physical copies of BW and enjoyed them, but can't comment beyond them. heard that BW2 onwards is rushed? Still haven't read them though)
