I assume that you mean only the main series and not any of the spin off game as many of those are terrible. My favourite is Gold/Silver and my least favourite are Diamond/Pearl.

Best: Silver/Gold/SoulSilver/HeartGold -they're all the same game-

Worst: Ruby/Saphire. I'm not sure why but I really did not like those two as much as I have with other Pokemon games.

Best: Yellow, I liked the idea of Pikachu followingyou around the game, reminds me of the show :P

Worst: Ruby, I also didn't feel the fun aspect in this game, the pokemon variety was a step backwards IMO :(

you guys dont even know whats the worst. ruby and sapphire are masterpieces compared to my pokemon ranch. people claim a 6.3 compared to sapphire of 8.6

theres several pokemon games that are below a 6 so if you say sapphire and ruby or diamond and pearl or any of the main series then you need to learn about the bad games

Best: Red (or Blue) and Gold (or Silver)

Worst: Well I haven't played most of the awful kiddie ones that aren't RPGish, but out of the main ones, probably Ruby/Sapphire.

Best: Gold/Silver

Worst: Sapphire/Ruby

Haven't played any of the DS generation yet. I'm going to pick up Platinum and HeartGold/SoulSilver eventually.

I'll have to tweak the proposed question a bit to the most fun and the least fun Pokemon game.

Most fun: Diamond/Pearl, Ruby/Sapphire

Least fun: Original Pokemon

Yeah... if we were talking about spin offs it wouldn't be a very interesting conversation. :P

Anyways... R/B, G/S, and D/P are all basically a tie to me. The only one I had any problems with was R/S... and I still loved them. :P

(obvious Pokemon fan)

1: Gold and Silver (Crystal)

2: Red and Blue (Yellow)

3: Ruby and Sapphire (Emerald)

4: Fire Red and Leaf Green

5: Diamond and Pearl (Platinum)

6: Heart Gold and Soulsilver

7: Black and White (TBA?)

Gold and Silver are the best because they expanded on Red and Blue and made it twice as good, while still being original, Red and Blue are the first games (Well, Red and Green) and the most innovative, and the most nostalgic, Ruby and Sapphire are amazing but suffer from no phones, day or night, and no going back to regions, which were all present in Gold and Silver, but still amazing music and endlessly fun gameplay. Fire Red and Leaf Green are just solid remakes and add a lot of cool things that aren't obtrusive, Diamond and Pearl show that the formula is getting stale and they aren't adding anything new, but it's still entertaining, although the Pokemon are pretty horrid looking. Heartgold and Soulsilver aren't very good remakes because they alter things that shouldn't have been altered and don't fix flaws. Black and White look terrible with the Pokemon looking ridiculous and triple battles. I mean, seriously? They have run out of ideas.

The spinoffs that I've played (Snap and the Pinball games) have been fairly enjoyable.

I'm also looking forward to that Pokepark game for the Wii. It's actually the first Pokemon game since the red/blue remakes to catch my interest.

I don't think there is a pokemon game I didn't like. The concept is fun. Silver was neat cause it took you from the new BACK to the old. It combinded both generations. I thought that was really neat. The only ones I don't care for are the remakes. When I buy a pokemon game I expect NEW. Then again when buying a remake you would think I would know its a REMAKE hahaha. (there is getting a few too many to catch these days though hahahaha)

You see things differently now that you're older. I'd be willing to bet that if the 4th genners were in R/B you'd love them, and the few you didn't like would be forgotten instead of criticized. And that goes for everyone with this opinion.

to be fair (despite being stupidly short) snap was a great game, I used to love it when I was younger, I kinda like busting out stadium too whenever i Have friends over, its cool to set up some tournies and have at it since the pokemon are all already pre leveled too 100 so other then some stats and moves everyones pretty much on even footing.

Okay, Best & Worst Huh? WORST 5. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky- They Removed IMPORTANT ELEMENTS from TIME & DARKNESS!!!!! 4. Those Pokedex Toys- Okay, Technically They're not "games." BUT All you have is EXTREMELY BASIC INFORMATION (and maybe crap quizzes for mini-games) WHAT COULD BE WORSE THAN A TOY? 3. Pokemon Ranch- Is this some sort of "PETZ" Game? 2. Hey! You! Pikachu!- The Worst Part: HE DOESN'T DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!!!! 1. Pokemon TCG- NO! NOT THE GB ONE! THAT'S WHAT I HOPED THIS WOULD BE! I'M TALKING ABOUT THE PC ONE! THE ONE THAT ONLY LETS YOU EXPLORE JUST A FEW MENUS AND MAYBE ONE DECK DIVIDED INTO TWO! INSTEAD OF SEVERAL GYMS AND CUSTOMIZABLE DECKS! WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT! (and the combat animation was LAZY too) BEST 5. PMD-Red Rescue Team- Fun to Explore Mazes and help other Pokemon! (oh, those were good times!) 4. Pokemon Trozei!- not really a "Pokemon Game" BUT FUN & ADDICTING 3. Pokemon Ranger- (JUST PLAY THE GAME!!!!!) 2. PMD- Explorers of Time & Darkness- Okay, if the storyline was "lame" it was still better than "FINAL FANTASY SEVEN" (lol just kidding Final Fantasy was better) BUT STILL PLAY THE GAME 1. Heart Gold/ Soul Silver- The DEFINITION OF "REMAKE" (UNLIKE EXPLORERS OF "SKY")

My favourite Pokemon game would be Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team, but as far as the trainer RPGs go, a lot of the magic has been lost due to the series' age for me. Personally, my favourite trainer RPG would be Emerald, but critically, I'd go with the second generation games.
