Welp guess I'll be skipping S&M and going back to better ones
BW2 being good is a /vp/ meme, HGSS were the last good pokemon games and were a blatant swansong, GF hasn't given a shit since then.
You forgot to post ORAS, the first game that actually made competitive viable for normal people

Good choice anon. Don't listen to /v/ and reddit flooding the boards, these are the better pokémon games.
Gen 4 and 5 are the good old days.
>>29804840
as a big HGSSfag, BW2 still edges it out.
I prefer the HGSS main game but the BW2 postgame
>>29804858
This, I dislike ORAS but for a competitive/breeder person, this game is definitely the pinnacle

>still playing Black 2
Yeah, me too. Still having a blast with it, but leveling up Join Avenue is suffering.
Yeah i love Gen 4 and Gen 5 one of the BEST GEN SO FAR, and HG and SS i really miss that Pokeathlon, Battle Frontier, and the Best Part is Pokemon that walk with US, gamefreak should make that feature back again and to add up the four seasons and contest, Musical, and PokeStar
>>29803691
Same. I'll probably watch a playthrough and skip over the boring parts.
Hopefully there's a third version on its way that's actually fun.

I'll admit that BW2 is a very polished game simply by nature of being an improvement on BW instead of a new region, all third versions have been great and BW2 is kind of a third version that is also two games. It might even be better than HGSS in terms of core game mechanics, it had a great dex and PWT is a god-tier postgame, but in terms of world design, artstyle, soundtrack, and all the other little things that make the games great to play beyond grinding a team for hardcore battles, they were as lackluster as all other post gen IV games.
>>29804840
I'd suggest against Heart Gold/Soul Silver. Game engine is an absolute slot, the battle frontier is a joke/pasted from the better game, they cut a metric fuckton of content from the original G/S/C games and removed an entire player character.
Shit is little better than OR/AS, especially with how easy it is due to shit level curve.

HGSS is better than Platinum. Platinum is still great though.
And they didnt remove much from Crystal besides room customization and sleeping pokemon in the headbutt trees.
>>29804840
Wrong. The best games are HGSS, BW2 and Platinum, everyone knows.
>>29807516
Wrong Gen 1 is always the best. Can't go back on classics my man
>>29805935
As someone who finds Johto as a region in terms of overworld and soundtrack near the top, I still have to say BW2 has a better soundtrack and a region that is on par with Johto. HGSS has the better art style though
>>29807546
Gen 1 is shit nigga, gotta remove those nostalgia googles
>>29803691
guys look what I found
I wish I could go back and play HGSS or FireRed or something but holy fuck I can't deal with not having certain features.
>>29807823
2 shit games and the worst GBA version? Impressive.
>>29808067
but I found them in boxes of old stuff for free and my brother and I had fun playing them
>>29807478
never say those words in this house again
