Replace platinum with HG/SS and you are correct. Sinnoh as a region sucked ass, period. Platinum couldn't salvage it.

Also Platinum was when the meta started getting really shitty. D/P was the peak of multiplayer singles in pokemon.

Replace Emerald with ORAS

Johto as a region sucked even more ass, and HG/SS couldn't salvage it. The difference is that Sinnoh was still superior, even if it wasn't the greatest.

platinum would easily take that place, but sinnoh is a little underwhelming and gen 4 was annoyingly slow

i'd say it's between platinum and B2/W2

But no though. Johto is one of the best regions. It is very cohesive and doesn't have a lot of redundant locations.

>>27947909
What about the region itself and post-game?

>>27947972
Johto was shit. Small and boring because they figured the inclusion of a wasteland Kanto would make up for it for some reason.

>>27947909
Based on that I'd give BW a perfect score, but the postgame was terrible.

>>27947954
thera emerald has 650 pokemon, the physical/special split, fairy types, and i believe even reusable TMs. game is mostly the same storywise, i think there are difficulty adjustments

emerald omega is in a similar vein but i think it's older and has less stuff

phys/spec split means nothing without online multiplayers which is pretty much non existant in those games now

>>27947994
But no.

Goldenrod and Ecruteak and Pokeathelon and National Park and Route 47 and all its other locations are anything but boring.

I don't care if its a little smaller than the others, Alola also looks small but is looking to be just as great.

I legitimately find Sinnoh more boring. Though its also fine

no, you are

Jhoto was intentionally made small as shit as to fit two regions in there. Hoenn itself is larger than gen 2 jhoto/kanto and so is sinnoh

>high lvl trainers

you mean the ones that are 10 levels below your pokemon even without grinding?

I agree with the first 2 but how the fuck are starters content

There's so much to love about HGSS but legendaries aren't one of them

>>27948815
No I'm not, I also played Hoenn as a kid and its not my favorite, and Unova ties with Johto for best region. But you're that anon who thinks everyone who likes Johto has to be a nostalgiafag so I've already won this "debate"

>>27947544

>>27950463
>linearity
Which resulted in BW being the only games with decent story. Not a problem. Just a different format. Linearity by itself isn't bad and in BW it is certainly used well.

>a poor selection of pokemon until late into the game
Moron. BW has one of the best Pokemon selections out of all games when you consider their actual viability.

>and weaker gyms than average
Nope. You just sucked when you were a kid. Other games don't have stronger gyms. In BW however normal trainers (especially veterans) and wild mons (especially tall grass) are more of a challenge than in any other game which mean the game as a whole is much more fun because gyms aren't the only place where you can get hit. In other games it was just lv14 Pidgeys vs your lv 27 Nidoking.

>>27950956

Story is the least important part of a Pokemon game. Exploring and adventuring however is the most important aspect.

>>27951178

The gameplay makes the game the game. The story is just a pointless and unneeded addition. Especially in a Pokemon game.

Exploring, catching, battling. Those are the key aspects of Pokemons' gameplay. That's what makes the game the game.

Full scale stories are not necessary for video games at all.

>>27951005
No, that was the case before. BW showed that story can be one of good points of the game.
Exploring and adventuring was present in BW, what do you mean? No other game pulled such a good route 1. There were a lot of places to revisit after getting Surf. Exploring caves in BW was way more fun in BW than in previous games because you met something else than Zubats. You had normal grass, tall grass and shaking grass adding variety to the routes.

>>27951178
>It has the shittiest story.
Nice shitpost.

Unova designs are good. They're a bit different so they need some getting used to but once you actually use those mons, the problem disappears.

>and therefore they aren't good
This is fucking retarded.

>That means nothing.
No, retard. That means a lot. Because the mons you meet in Gen V aren't just Dex fillers like Wurmple or Noctowl or Goldeen. They can (almost) all be useful in your playthrough. Don't blame the game for your own mental incapability.

>>27947544
ORAS should be in place of Emerald because it's objectively superior

>>27951178
>It has the shittiest story.

>>27951465

I've played one shitty Assasin Creed game and it was loaded with trash story.

A game like Metroid Prime where the story is all in the immersion will always be better than a garbage game that stops you every step to try and flesh its "story" out. Especially one as empty and crappy as BW

Platinum had the most difficulty

HGSS had the most charm

BW2 had the most content

Emerald's frontier is great though

>>27947544
Platinum is overrated

>>27947544
The only obvious flaw is Emerald still using special/physical attacks on a type basis rather than logic basis (e.g. Crunch is a special move)

>>27947544
There is no flaw in that perfect logic.

>>27947584

X/Y

The only games I haven't owned were BW2 and ORAS.

>Handing out gifts and megas every single step of the way

Makes shit easy, but not a flaw.

>Pacing is shit, the first two gyms take up almost as long as the other six

It's the third actually. And that's just like most other games in the franchise. Shit speeds up after the third gym. The skates really break the pacing though. You can blow through everything pretty fast thanks to them, even early on.

>Forced "friends" that slow you down all the time

This I agree with. Fuck them.

>Poorly written and rushed characters (Professor's assistants, all of Team Flare, AZ, etc)

I agree with this too.

>Exp Share keeping your team higher leveled than everyone else

Not a flaw. Just turn the damn thing off.

>Ugly and linear map with forgettable towns

I agree that they're linear paths but, ugly is debatable. The game looks just fine for a 3DS title.

>Roller blades instead of 380 degree movement

You can do the 360 degree movement without the skates. The skates are just like an updated running shoes.

>Poorly implemented 3d on the overworld, forcing the handheld's gimmick to be unusable

3d is worthless shit. Not really a flaw.

It's like a 6.5 out of 10. It's barely the unplayable piece of shit you babies make it out to be.
