counterpoint: Majora is an underrated masterpiece. It made a lot of innovations on old Zelda/Adventure Game formulas and has a phenomenal story that had nothing to do with previous Zelda games. KOTOR II is an incomplete game and another well-executed Bioware RPG based on borrowed IP.

eh. KOTOR II was mechanically a great game, but it being incomplete was really disappointing

r/b/y were objectively the worst pokemon games in terms of quality and entertainment value. The only reason to value them higher is purely due to nostalgia.
I hate generation V with a passion but I do realize it is a better and more enjoyable game.
Anyway Gen 2 was the most fun and it deserves a spot above the rest.
eh. in terms of pokemon games I value the originality of RBY over anything else the other gens had to offer. but I'm not a huge fan of pokemon in the first place, so I probably miss the point entirely.

it's certainly not a bad game, and it's probably the most widely played of the games in this list. widely known will beat out great in a democracy.
