What is objectively the best main series Pokémon game?

I don't mean which is your personal favourite, or which one you have the most nostalgia/attachment to, I just mean the objective best Pokémon game overall.

There isn’t really an objective best, specifically since they’ve pretty much just remade the same game over and over and over again, though 5 onward was when they started to make major changes to the formula, specifically aiming towards streamlining how progress is made in the games, and presumably not in a good way if sales are anything to go by. I personally think Platinum is the best of the OG games since it offers the most features out of the experience of Pokémon (you could say similar things about HGSS, but there are also more noticeable pros and cons with that game).

You will never get an answer for that here. It would take hundreds if not thousands of hours to prove objectively which one is the best.

Hell you would first need to qualify what would make one the best in the first place.

Original Gold & Silver wins.

Absolutely surprising and out of nowhere - TWO regions - revisiting Kanto and the OG player was kino and CONTENT baby.
Breeding is here - BOOM - with battling, that's all the replay value needed.
Day/Night cycle PRESENT and COZY as FUCK.
Peak sprite design.

Crystal came along and the aesthetic was hella gay.
Ruby & Sapphire came along but lacked backward compatibility.
The DS games have TWO screens, which is autistic because micromanagement is never kino.
The Switch games look like ass aesthetically.

The only answer is OG Gold & Silver.

if you rank by "most shit to do" then platinum wins.

hgss objectively has more to do than platinum, you have platinum's battle frontier with hgss' two regions. the only thing plat has that hgss doesnt is contents except hgss also has pokeathelon and an actual safari zone

in terms of raw content i think its hgss, bw2 and then plat

then game corner is as relevant as voltorb flip. i forgot hgss also has more events. not sure why youre trying to die on this hill, trying to argue something has more or less value than something else is against the point, objectively speaking there's more stuff to do and find in hgss because they built off the stuff in platinum

that's not building on it, it's regressing as pokemon always does.
everything good in HGSS is just lifted wholesale from platinum, and everything new to it is slop.

FPBP, setting aside the fact it is indeed my favorite and the last game I consider a true pokemon game, it is a remake done right and contains a shitload of content, remastered and new. An entirely new area with new minigames (pokeathalon), the Platinum Battle Frontier, the Safari Zone which has a whole new set of mechanics different from any other in the franchise tied to an entirely new route with even more stuff to find (The Hoenn legends), rematches with all the gym leaders with stronger teams with new members and the E4 who also get new teams, new smaller areas with Rock Climb, following pokemon which adds new collectables through the gold crown for each pokemon as well as the pokewalker content, QoL stuff like a sprint toggle and the GB Player, new events for Ho-Oh and Lugia through the kimono girls' involvement, HGSS just has so much it does right that the few issues it has (namely to do with the gen 4 engine and the fugly pseudo-3d shit artstyle that gen 5 would also use) are easily ignored in favor of the absolute smorgasboard of content and quality that has yet to be matched since or prior.

Nostalgia does play a bit for me, but I just genuinely think HGSS is near perfect with how much there is to do in these games. You've got the main game and Kanto post game. Then you've got Pokeathlon which I think is fun, I sometimes pick up just to play Voltorb Flip (gotten pretty good at it), the Battle Frontier from Platinum, and events up the wazoo. Plus I just love the way it looks aesthetically and Johto is just a beautiful region to me, I just love it so much, just so much packed into it. I've replayed this game so much and never get bored of it.

You’re giving platinum too much credit, both games were being developed at the same time, and with how content rich HGSS is that was probably started first but Platinium was just rushed out first due to how unplayable DiaPer was.

I think strong arguments can typically be made for HGSS, BW2, Platinum, Crystal or Emerald (ordered in easiest claim to hardest.) Most other titles tend to have a few glaring flaws that hold them back in various ways.

HGSS have the best touch screen UI though. Everything you need is right there.

It's HGSS or B2W2. The former is peak aesthetic with a shitload of content and it has the best UI. Automatic running shoes is super underrated. It's only dragged down by Lyra moments, the level curve, and the speed of the engine. I think that one captures "classic" Pokémon the best. B2W2 has enough QoL changes for it to matter, great Pokémon selection, tons of environments, the PWT, and just a great overall sense of energy to it. The only serious flaws in my eyes are the interruptions that happen and the harsh visuals. Everything before is missing something and everything after feels bloated and/or watered down.

>Crystal is great but it's missing a lot of Pokémon it could have. HGSS is also extremely great with better availability but it's slower and also have a bit less freedom at certain moments.
>Emerald is a great adventure game, arguably is even worse than crystal when comes to avaliability. ORAS is better than Emerald because of that and other reasons, and is or would be the best Pokémon game if wasn't for locking a lot of mega stones to postgame like XY.
>Platinum I'm honestly not much into but I can see why it's so liked. I really like the soundfront and soundtrack in general, a lot of cool new Pokémon and a lot of cool new moves. I just don't like Great Marsh, Fog, Underground and all these strange ideas that the game has. I really thought it was a strange game playing it. Never played BDSP but it seems like I would feel the same.
>I like how BW handles the main characters, how cool the intro looks and I absolutely wuv Unova soundtrack. I think it's very charming and "modern". That being said, I'm more in the "Unova designs are kinda eeh" side, only a few Pokémon really clicked to me. Also it kinda ends up having less Pokémon in pratice than Gen 1 because there's a lot of more legendary Pokémon which means the mons you get to see in the road repeat very often.
>B2/W2 I like for what it's. But, it's just too similar to BW.... I know it's just a spin in a third version but once I got to Castelia for the first time it felt very weird and I couldn't help but think the original did these events better. I think it's a game full of cool stuff and definitely an upgrade from the original but I think it might had been better if it was a third version instead.
>XY I'm a fanboy from Megas and fairies so you can where I'm going. I live the game, all new stuff that was added and bringing back a usable bottom screen after BW scrapped HGSS bottom for C-Gear. I can see why people got disappointed by the lack of a third version and I think I agree. It's not at full potential.
