1. Emerald (Nostalgia bias, this is the first real videogame I ever played. But it's also just a rock solid game with a lot of content.)
2. X/Y (Easily the most charming games in the franchise, Kalos is by far the best designed and most interesting of all regions.)
3. HG/SS (Never played the original Gold and Silver so I don't know how these compare to them, but either way, they're great games. Most notably, their side content is the best in the franchise (Pokéathlon, 2nd region...).)
4. Platinum (Don't have much to say about this, it's just a very fun game that does most things right.)
5. B2/W2 (Due to this being a real sequel instead of just a third version, it's the only 'third game' I ever bought. The new parts of Unova often felt more creative than what we got in B&W).
6. B/W (Don't have much to say about these either, just sliiightly less fun than Platinum and B&W2, but still great games.)
7. OR/AS (Maybe it's because I played Emerald too much, but these just didn't feel as exciting. Still solid games. No Battle Frontier was a disappointment though.)
8. S/M (These were definitely a big disappointment. I still enjoyed them since, well, they're still Pokémon games. But they were definitely a huge step down from X&Y. The main things they did wrong were the boring cutscenes and the general focus on (a not so interesting) story, and the bland and uninteresting region.)
9. Yellow (Unplayable outdated garbage. I guess I should try LGFR someday.)
