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.

^I can't say I didn't see a response where objective was implied to be wrong, but this is stance that I believe to be a fact and therefore I stick by it. I feel there is more than enough evidence to support RBY being majorly inferior to later generations. I'd be willing to debate my position in the pokemon thread if desired as not to clutter this thread. Also I don't think RBY are bad- just inferior, just in case that wasn't clear.


anyway, votings:

Match 49:
Portal


Match 50:
Bastion

Match 51:
Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald


Match 52:
Pokémon Red/Green/Blue/Yellow/FireRed/LeafGreen

Match 53:
Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal/HeartGold/SoulSilver


Match 54:
Mario Kart 64


Match 55:
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past


Match 56:
Portal 2

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.

I get you. When the games first came out, they definitely did have the originality value.
And well, maybe it was wrong of me to try and counter your sentiment.
This is a
favorite
video game topic after all. Nostalgia certainly holds up for that basis- but I just mean I can see why other pokemon games could be in a higher spot- for those that enjoyed and played the series past gen 1.

Most people I know of whose favorite pokemon games are the original R/B/Y did not play the later generations, but not because they wouldn't try them- more so because their interests had moved on to other genre's of games or fell out of gaming entirely.

If it's any consolation I would give anything else I've voted for to put Earthbound in a higher spot. That game has more meaning to me than the pokemon or Mario franchies could possibly ever live up to.

No Pokemon games after Gen2 should have gotten that far. Gen2 was obviously better than Gen1, too. Also, I kinda want to see Roller Coaster Tycoon make a surprise run to the finals. =P
