So now that the dust has settled. Which of these more story heavy Pokemon main series games had the best story?
>>30214149
Sun and Moon or BW.
Maybe I'm a faggot, but I don't see how BW2 was story heavy.
>>30214149
SM easily, Zinnia ruined ORAS, XY was shit outside the wasted potential of AZ, B2W2 are way inferior to BW, and BW's overall plot was obnoxiously retarded, even if the ending was emotional.

BW closely followed by SM
Power gap to ORAS (still enjoyable but dumb) and then jump down the Grand Canyon and there is X and Y
>>30214199
How is B/W's plot retarded?
>>30214149
BW and SM stories are the best
XY is shit
>>30214149
My favourite story in Pokemon is still Platinum.
Out of those, BW2, as it showed two extremes of a fractured Team butting heads, and I liked it.
>>30214149
is Lillie the N of SM??
>>30214251
I liked N, someone so different from the rest of the series was cool. He was deigned like another protagonist and believed he was
Him and Bianca probably have the most growth in Pokemon
Even if he was an autistic spaz at first, he had characterizationhaving a faster speech text was a GOAT addition
>>30214149
It's a contest between SM and BW. XY doesn't even register. It's even worse than RBY in the story department.
>>30214149
Gen 5
>>30214149
SM = BW > BW2 > ORAS > Shit > XY
Uh x/y and oras were not story heavy
PLATINUM
>>30215496
yes
>>30214364
>It's even worse than RBY in the story department
You know it's literally impossible to have a story worse than no story right?
>>30214149
It just struck me I didn't remember anything of X/Y's story, so not that.
>>30214149
BW1 = SM > BW2 > shit > ORAS >>>>> XY
Emerald managed to make gen 3's plot more likable. Too bad that ORAS had to fuck it up by reusing the same shit that RS did.

Platinum
>>30215549
With no story, you craft your own shit autistic story.
With shit story, you're forced to watch someone's else shit autistic story and deal with cutscenes on top of that.
>>30214211
the only correct answer.
>>30215574
>Emerald managed to make gen 3's plot more likable.
Eh, not really. The teams were still retarded as fuck with motives no one could comprehend.
ORAS at least managed to salvage Maxie.
XY is not as story driven as Platinum, there's a huge gap between the two. XY is closer to original RS in storytelling.
>>30215621
You do realise that we're judging it based on story quality right?
RBY can't be in the running at all due to its lack of it.
>>30215618
Plat was shit and nothing more than a half-assed rehash of Emerald.
>>30215724
RBY built the world though, fossils, books and journals about MewTwo, etc.
>>30215452
No need to keep going. You can't dispute this fact.
>>30215669
More likeable doesn't mean it had to be liked. Stupy hoomin.
Sorry Archie and Maxie
You had cool designs
But your motive was shit
>>30214149
BW at the top with SM following very VERY closely behind.
Then we've got this gap.
Now comes BW2, with another not quite as big but still pretty big gap followed by ORAS.
And at the bottom we've got XY.
>>30215574
>>30215724
RBY had a story, kiddo.
Oras because of delta episode
>>30215767
Lore isn't the same thing as story anon. And if you're taking that route it still comes out as the lowest.
Sun/moon plot was perfect. Characters were well-designed, a lot of hidden stories about pokemon or characters, everyone is cool n fun n colorful personality and shit.
Also I fell in love with lillie.
>>30215906
No it didn't.
If you think that the same thing each and every game has qualifies as a story you might just be the dumbest person on this board.
And even by RPG standards at the time it was practically nonexistent.
>>30215549
a very slight story with background lore>>>attempting and failing to make a substantial story. It's like Eusine vs Zinnia
>>30216010
Next time, start out with the last part so I dont have to read the rest of your comment
>>30215490
They weren't, but the tried to pass themselves off as story heavy. XY had that whole war exposition dump, and ORAS had Primal exposition dumps as well as Zinnia.
>>30214149
X and Y had hardly any story.
