I dunno, depends on what you mean by best? RSE has a solid main game in almost every, E in particular just makes it better, but RS lacks much to do after that and one of Emerald's battle facilities is a war crime. HGSS has major nostalgia factor for me, remaking a game I played a ton as a kid, but also just adds even more to do. The main game isn't stellar, it's perfectly fine at the worst, but the side stuff definitely puts it way above most of the other games. BW is another solid main story, has a nice little postgame, it's just an all arounder, but it doesn't excel in enough areas for me to be that enthusiastic about it aside from saying it's the best first version, probably by a fairly wide margin. B2W2 has a nice variety in the postgame as well, and offers some interesting challenges in general, but unlike BW the story the first time through is really weak and doesn't really justify a lot of the cutscenes. Both of the GameCube titles are really interesting, but those are about as far from the standard Pokemon gameplay as you could get before Let's Go and Legends, so I dunno if you could call it the best Pokemon game. That's not even counting any of the spin-offs, although I'll give special attention to the Snap games since I just think they're neat. Is the Pokewalker it's own separate game? How about Dream World? The e-Reader cards? Do you know how many Pokemon games there are? Trying to find the best of anything is going to be hard, not just general consensus but even individual opinion. I mean, tastelets and low functioning autists might only like one thing for one specific reason, but real high functioning autists and spergs would probably try to consider things more broadly. Hell, I wouldn't say I like USUM, but it's probably the best main Pokemon game on the 3DS, and I do think it does a lot of neat shit. A lot of other people might hate USUM, because they're pedophiles, or actually like Lillie's story. I haven't really solved the issue, but whatever.
