^ Yes cdude1034. You know what you're talking about, I agree with everything you posted, you're totally right.
Except, I don't agree with you're rankings. R/S/E was better than R/B/Y. Placing the originals over R/S is just nostalgia clouding your vision, imo. Yes, R/S may not have been the best, but when they released, they overhauled the graphics, added some of the best pokemon of the series (quite in keeping with the original 151 style, imo, but with more of an edge), and expanded the competitive battling massively - the addition of EVs, IVs, and a huge expansion of the movepools of all pokemon. D/P perfected what R/S began - and I think it's unfair to rank it so far down.
If you want to pick on one game though, it should be Pokemon Battle Revolution. It's great so see your pokemon in 3D, but that is undeniably a weak game. It just wasnt as good as it should have been. I wanted Pokemon Stadium 2008, I got Pokemon Colloseum with the RPG mode stripped out.

I concur. Despite their several faults, I enjoyed Colloseum and XD: Gale of Darkness but Battle Revolution was terrible, especially with the battle pacing.
I think G/S/C was the first attempt to fix the metagame, notably broken Psychic types (Dark and Steel Types, Megahorn and Shadow Ball) and Diamond and Pearl have created a nice balance.
Pixel Art can be fun.
