Agree, gold/silver was a wonderful game. It really added much more depth to the game of pokemon if you compare it to red/blue, I feel like the expansions that came after that just built on top of gold/silver, but gold was the version that took pokemon to the next level.In post 1, SleepyKrew wrote:nothing has topped the surprise and excitement I experienced when I thought I was done with Gold/Silver and then was told I could go to Kanto
The addition of the kanto region, day/night phases along with days of the week impacting certain events occurring in the game, a wide new rage of pokemon but still not so much that it made your brain explode because you couldn't pronounce their names anymore, itemization, skills, colors, side quests, and graphic improvements.
It was like a totally different game, but still similar enough to the original in that you could revisit the old areas to see how they've changed such that it still invoked some nostalgia. Definitely a game I was able to enjoy playing though multiple times.
I haven't tried emerald/ruby/sapphire yet, but I'm certainly curious. I could download the rom and play it on my PC without issues. How does emerald compare to gold/silver?
And is the latest pokemon on the 3ds worth grabbing ?- inte

Yeah Sun/Moon is great
I hadn't played any Gen VI in a while before playing it so I didn't notice until going back but the characters look so much better in VII, like the big head and tiny body (as much as it worked in 2D) of Gen VI looks awful in comparison to the actually proportioned characters in this game
And the cutscenes and any talking seems a lot more cinematic and tbh as much as I found Gen VI to be great fun and my nearly favourite at the time (barely behind IV), I feel that the joy of VII will slowly push it down the list because it has rendered it obsolete it in every way by making nothing worse but many things better (with the single exception that I prefer Mega Evolution to Z-Moves, but that definitely isn't a vast majority opinion and it's very minor).- Davsto

Any game pre-gen 4 can't be most iconic due to the broken ass move system.Current Avatar: Dr. Contessa(OC, art by @pastelpuffin)- Drench

The coliseum/Gale of darkness can. It has a darker storyline, an unrepeated mechanic and you can steal other people's pokemon.In post 32, Natirasha wrote:Any game pre-gen 4 can't be most iconic due to the broken ass move system.This is my life now

Gold/silver were like dammmnnn and going to Kanto at endgame blew my mind, and I don't think any other game has had more than one region
Ruby/sapphire might have been the game I played the most though, seeing as it was the gba version and was shiny and new and had muh secret bases.
I was one of the unfortunate souls who got a PSP instead of a DS, and 14-15 year old me was so happy to get the teen-male-demographic-targeted device. What a fool, a foolish fool. So I never played any of the DS pokemons, completely missing Gen 4, gen 5, and whatever the fuck an arceus is.
But then I got a 3ds and Pokemon Y and everything was okay. I have like 250 hours in that thanks to pointlessly walking back and forth tryna hatch eggs. It's bad but it's still my like base of operations for all new Pokémon playing, all my shinies and good pokes and legendaries are in that one.
I'm really disappointed in myself that I never played heartgold/soulsilver, and I got alphasapphire but didn't even finish the main story, I just never had time and couldn't bring myself to care. For whatever reason it did not activate my nostalgia gland and was not very fun.
Thanks for reading my cool story- gerryoat

I'mma say it again.
I think Pokemon Sun/Moon is the best of the entire series, by far.
"Iconic" has to be R/B, though. There's a reason PokeGO's teams are R/B/Y, and that X/Y and Sun/Moon have reddish/blueish color schemes. The Red/Blue dynamic is essential to the series.- SleepyKrew

Well yeah, but I was giving recent examples to emphasize the longevity of the red/blue theme. Pokemon IS red/blue.In post 44, SleepyKrew wrote:
