Best Pokemon Games

It's a great game! I've had mine for 8 years of my life. The first two regions are all I ever cared about because they were my childhood. I have right about 800 hours on mine. If I included the time spent before restarting, it might be about 820. The amount of time this game can accumulate annihilates any Wii, GameCube, or N64 game I've played!

This game has pokemon from both the Kanto and Johto regions. So why vote for Pokemon Red or Blue? I understand that the newer games have more pokemon and some of the same ones. Some people just like the first and second generation pokemon more than the newer ones. This game should be rated #1.

MAN I love that game! The time thing is the best. Too bad the battery in my game pak died... I can't save anymore!

This game brings back such memories. Even only being a 12 year old! Pokemon Blue was the first video game that I've EVER played! Sadly, modernization has brought the big square game paks out, and furthermore, just game paks completely out of the picture. I'd like to see a modernized version of a Gameboy released! A bit of graphic enhancing (not too much though. I still want to see that charming squarey art that brings nostalgia to the eyes... Oh, not to mention keeping the music! )could probably make this a hit among adults who KNOW what the good games are, and possibly even bring a light of classic respect to the eyes of the modern generation... Sorry about my blabbering. :)

This is the Alpha and Omega of not just the Pokémon game franchise, but the entire Pokémon Empire as a whole! Think about it. Both Red and Blue version are still one of the top selling games of all time, without them Nintendo wouldn't be the power house they are today.
The other Pokémon games add more land, more items, and more Pokémon (but after #251, Celebi, they all sucked), which definitely improved the games in some respects. But nothing can compare to the eldest of them all.
*Also in Blue and Red version you do actually have a chance to catch them all!

Although it can be said that the content and graphics upgrades of FR/LG make the originals B/R better its the fact that these two games are what started the whole Pokemon gameboy game dynasty. The original 151 Pokemon were not only the best in their design and compatibility with each other, but not a total hassle to catch all of them, just a few trades with the other game and it was done. Not only that but this game was the perfect balance of simplicity and fun. No EV training, no breeding, and no National Pokedex, just a boy and his starter taking on the world.
I started playing this when I was 7 and I still have the game that I started 13 years ago. Pokemon will be a part of most of my generations childhood and this was the thing that started this all. Blue or Red should be #1 without question

Why black is 15th? It's so much better! I can't believe that!

Pokemon black is the best Pokemon game ever! It has awesome, amazing graphics, as well as a super cool storyline! Don't even get me started on the super cool Pokemon in this game.

The best Pokemon ever with the best music, toughest gym leaders, coolest pokemons and awesome graphics!

WHATS UP GUYS!
DIAMOND IS ON 3rd position and you are ignoring platinum

Pokemon Platinum must be on the first position. Pokemon Firered is not so much cool. Please put pokemon platinum infirst rank

POKEMON PLATINUM: BEST POKEMON GAME BEYOND ANY CREATIONS! TO BE THE TOP! BOP TO THE TOP!

Unbelievable... Stunning graphics... And nothing to meddle with old memories... Definitely top notch on the behalf of Nintendo! New mixes with old, with not only a connection to Kanto, but the ability to look at Sinnoh and Hoenn through the pokemon make this best yet!

actually I like white best... but be4 white this thing was B0$$. pokemon champ! P. S worst=pearl.

This game is by far my favorite of all the pokemon games. This is because in most of the games after the elite four your done. This one there a whole different region to play through. Graphix are great and the amount of quality pokemon you can get is unmatched. Pokemon SoulSilver all the way!

I just love this too bad its no longer available. I wonder what happened to my account XD. I was very powerful at that time

this was an great game sadly that is doesn't exist anymore
I hope it will come back once

It was great before they took it away.

+11Pokemon White gives us a new world to explore, full with new pokemon for us to catch, and in my opinion its the ultimate pokémon Experience.
If you are a true Pokemon fan you gotta love this!

+11It is a awesome game with lots of new pokemon, a new region with better pokemon, should be number 1 no doubt zekrom is beast anyway

+6With 3D effects a whole new world lots of fun and even good after game this should definitely be the best game on the list. Oh and it should be ahead of pokemon black diamond platinum and soul silver at least!

Good game. I found the title more attractive, since I'm a girl lol

I've spent so much time on this game! It's fantastic and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a pokemon game. It takes a while to complete owing to the 16 badges rather than 8 and you can get a Johto starter, a Kanto starter and a Hoenn starter, unlike the other games. You can also get over 10 legendaries completely legitimately which is one of the highest numbers that you get in the game. Plus, you get the pokewalker, which is great if your out and about a lot, and an even easier way of portably playing and leveling up your pokemon!

Great game! Good to entertain you till black and white is out

My first pokemon game. Got it when I was three. It is so BO$$ go Sapphire version it was so addicting! It rocks

It's really fun, you get an awesome legendary, and you get rain at the end of the game when the world gets destroyed. Besides, Team Magma is more awesome to be on sides with!

When you remember back to the few years between silver and gold and sapphire and ruby, the popularity began to dip and people were saying that the pokemon craze was over. But when sapphire came out, their stock rose like crazy, bringing back the awesomeness pokemon is known for. That is why I believe it should top the list.

Best map and nice original sound tracks

I used to love playing this game. I still do and I'm 16. I play sports and I'm not a nerd. great game!

so good it has all the original pokemon that we know and love I could play 6 hours a day.

this game is good so is crystal

I have no clue why Silver is so high up on this list and Gold is so low. These two games were almost identical. This game is one of my favorites of all time. I grew up playing this game and also Red version. I am completely flabbergasted.

I don't know why, but this game is defiantly better than silver. Only pokemon game I've cared about enought to finish.

When I was little I always wanted a game boy color to play pokemon yellow, blue or red, but my first pokemon game was pokemon ruby and I felt like a real trainer cuase I didn't know any of the pokemon from hoen, the original 150 pokemon rock but I have to admit that the ones from hoen became my favorites too!

What started the pokemon era of gaming for me!

theTwister

As well as Twister it started the game era of Pokemon for me. I feel like this is the same as the Sapphire Pokemon, though with better gameplay, and the special Pokémon is better.

“pokemon pearl and diamond in one

The original pokemon games were definitely the best of all of them. You can't beat the original 150. We didn't even now mew existed until we saw it in the intro of the anime that came out later on in the pokemon era. There was more mystery to the game because the internet wasn't very popular yet. Take not children that the originals are th

I remember when there were only 150 of you, well technically 151 if you are counting mew. But I digress I guess I spent the best years of my life surfing Cinibar Island to get 126 revives. And I miss the pokemon center. I miss the music too. And the way that snorlax looked like lapras on water. Pokemon what happened to you. Now legendary means nothing to me. And one of a kind creatures add up to thirty. And I only want three choices for my evee. I won't accept your leaf green. They'll always be red and blue to me.

The original is, has been, and always will be the best. I especially love glitching up the game. I have such respect for this game.

Ultimate game you could buy masterballs and rare candies at the pokemart

It is so awesome or beast on the wii I wish I had it you can see amazing graphics and the pokemons moves come to life I put a big smiley face I am so happy to tell you guys

I think pokemon lake is a really cool website

really underrated game revolutionized the entire gaming industry. without this game, fun may not exist anymore

I love Grovyle! I was so sad when he died! When I had to leave my partner behind I started to cry, even though I knew I'd come back. There had to be a happy ending.

The story was so beautiful and I never had so much fun playing a pokemon game. It made me feel so much more emotion than red and blue rescue team. The end was so sad, my friend and I both cried. I loved the plot and how it involved Grovyle and Dusknoir and their rivalry and hate for each other. Best pokemon game by far.

This was so much fun and didn't have the dungeons with 100 floors like red and blue which were annoying!

This is even better than explorers of darkness and time because you can climb up that mountain with shaymen which was fun!

Why isn't this up top? It's in 3d, and its the newest game yet. The graphics are awesome. I think Nintendo did a fantastic job here. And plus you get all the great features of the 3ds.

It is a nice game and it has most of legendary pokemon.
This was so much fun and it have more area sinnoh and another. It is one of good game
