Is it true?

replace emerald with HGSS and I will accept it

>>30124026
>Anything before the physical/special split
>Worthy of being in the holy trinity
Gen 4 and above only.

>Holy Trinity
>Five games

>>30124026
Replace Emerald with Platinum and HGSS with FRLG and it works.

>>30124026
if emerald weren't on this list, I would call it the holy trinity of worst games...
firered/leafgreen was fun, back in the day...
but i tried to replay them last year and they aged fucking horribly.
take off your nostalgia goggles, and see the shit.
Also gen V is worst gen. nothing can or will ever change that.
Sorry OP.

>>30124064
>replace emerald with HGSS
no! replace FRLG with HGSS instead

kek

I hate these "muh holy trinity of X" maymays
Fuck off back to your shithole, /v/ermin.

>>30124064
More like replace FRLG with SM.

>>30124117
>FRLG aged horribly
You're an idiot, FRLG aged the best of literally any legacy pokemon game
D/P aged the worst because of the pacing and overworld art style, followed closely by anything from gen 1 and 2 because they're so abominably clunky

>>30124026
BW2, HG/SS, S/M.

>>30124119
This actually.
Kanto games are not good, and HGSS and GSC made Kanto actually fun

>>30124143
BW2 are the first games in the series to go "hey, maybe we should give the player some variety in early route Pokemon, instead of having to wade through three routes of normal and bug-types". That alone makes them okay by me.

>>30124124
Replace BW2 with notthing, call it a trinity and call it a day. The b8 image was right all along. If the quad is necessary, keep it if you will.
>>30124240
>SM
>Better than platinum and emerald
Not with that focus on the "story" and "postgame". Don't even get me started on HGSS.

I honestly don't understand how anyone could like that abomination of a generation...

But gen 5 wasn't Kalos.

>>30124026
It should be:

>B2W2
>HGSS
>S/M

HGSS, Platinum and B2W2

Generation 3 is trash

>>30124523
in the trash where it belongs.
>b-but muh battle frontier

Not only was it way worse than Emerald's BF, but it's not nearly good enough to save the terrible main-game.

The only people who look back at emerald fondly are too young to have played anything before rs. HGSS/Plat/BW2

>>30124124
This is the correct answer.

>>30124079
this
>>30124124
sorry, but Emerald can't be there. It is a trinity

These are the cream of the crop;

Honorable mentions: Yellow and Crystal.

>>30124026
SM replace RFLG

>>30125343
Emerald was included to appease people arguing about which three should be in the top 3. As a quad, that image is pretty much indisputable

>implying gen 3 didn't save the series from mediocrity with its mechanical additions/changes

>>30124215
FR and LG are literally Gen 1 + shitty tiny islands that you can't do anything on.

>>30127056
such as the removal of day/night, right?
Because the ONLY thing gen 3 added to the series from a mechanical standpoint was double battles which are admittedly the best battle style

>>30127552
>such as the removal of day/night

oh no, a cosmetic change. The series is ruined

>Because the ONLY thing gen 3 added to the series from a mechanical standpoint was double battles which are admittedly the best battle style

is this bait?

abilities, natures, fixed EV/IV, tutors, and yes double battles

>>30124026
> B2W2
try again

>>30124119
This.

>>30124442
Genwunners who hated how BW didn't let them use their """""bros""""". They're why all new gens since then only had 70 new mons and pandered HARD to RBY.
Let them wallow in their own shit as they don't deserve anything better.

>>30124593
>Platinum's main game
>terrible
Looks like someone is too much of a pussy to enjoy those long routes, good thing that SM heals you every 3 seconds right?

>>30124124
Not mad at this. I think BW2, Emerald, Platinum and Sun/Moon are all fine picks for top games of the series.

>HG/SS
>Emerald
>FR/LG

Probably my top 3, Sun/Moon is very quickly gaining ground to replace one of them though.

Diamond/Pearl were shit, fun for first 3D Pokemon but all the Pokemon were shit, the characters sucked, nothing except maybe the legendarys and Luxray were cool.

>>30127980
not him but while I don' consider platinum's main game to be shit, it's riddled with problems like abhorrent HM usage, mount coronett, and lack of environmental variety until late game/post game

>>30124124
This is the one.

>>30126983
>best spinoff games (Pokemon Mystery Dungeon)
>best console games (Colosseum, Gale of Darkness)
>BATTLE FRONTIER
>Secret Bases and Record Mixing

Yeah, no. 3rd gen was great.

>>30124026
>FR/LG
what. They were the shining example of shit remakes until ORAS took that place

BW2 -- Platinum -- HG/SS
this is the true trinity. Emerald can get an honorable mention on the side

HGSS was wack. FRLG was boring.

I say BW, B2W2, and SM are the best.

I dont like frlg

>>30128655
FR/LG were ok remakes, HG/SS were great

ORAS is the only shit remake

t. emeraldfag

>>30124124
This. If it had to be narrowed down to a trinity I'd ditch Emerald. But it's still definitely plenty great

Battle Frontier got to be one of the most overrated features ever.

>>30127938
Being put into a new region with no access to old Pokemon and making a full team out of nothing but new ones is the best. Makes the games feel a lot more fresh despite them following the same formula every time.

>>30124026
Good times when we had a decent framerate

>>30124026
>FR/LG

No way in hell.

Still forcing your shitty edit, I see

>>30124026
At least we can all agree that Sun/Moon are worst games ever made, wtf were they thinking with that abomination of a game?

>>30128896
Pt is overrated, you're lucky HGSS saved gen4.

Why do people constantly give DP shit for how slow they feel but then ignore the fact HGSS suffer from the same problem nearly as badly?

>>30124580
This is the correct taste unless you were born after 1996
Only millennials like gen3

>>30128896
Platinum is great but BW2 blows it out of water in every single possible way (except that all starters look like shit).

>>30124079
This is significant. FRLG were great games but I have a hard time going back to anything before the split.

>>30128954
>the fact HGSS suffer from the same problem nearly as badly?

Because it doesn't? What are you smoking anon?
