  Have you played HeartGold/SoulSilver? I also think Gen 2 was peak, and the remakes were incredibly faithful while still adding a ton of content. Plus if you can get a physical copy the Pokewalker was really fun!

    Many times. I bought SoulSilver when it was new and got the pokewalker with it. No idea where it is anymore though. I think HGSS are the best ever Pokemon games but unfortunately there’s a lot of bugs with it on emulator for some reason that didn’t exist on cartridge. Every ROM I’ve tried for those games have black spots everywhere and occasional full black screen where you have to save and then restart the “DS” in order to fix it. If you know of a rom for HGSS without bugs that would be awesome.

      Oh weird! I have never played it on emulator as I still have my 3DS and my physical cartridge. That’s a damn shame.

        I still have my original playthrough from 2009 on my cartridge, I don’t want to erase that to make a new save file, which is why I like emulating. The original gen 2 games are clean so I tend to just play those instead, even though I prefer HGSS. GSC are probably my #2.

        I’d probably rank them HGSS, GSC, RBY, FRLG, RSE, DPPt, XY, ORAS, B2W2, BW, USUM, SM. I haven’t played anything after that. After Gen 4 is a noticeable drop in quality for me. They’re still good but not nearly as good I’d say. Gen 1-4 was peak. DPPt are still some of my all-time favourite games despite being lower on that list. I’m curious how you’d rank the Pokemon games.
