1: Pretty bad but who can complain? 2. Loved it! Such a big improvement! 3: Great! 4: Good. Only played Pearl, though. 5: My favorite! Great story, and the sequels are my favorite main series game. 6: Like them! X and Y had so much charm and I thought ORAS were great remakes! 7: This is where things start to peter out with me. I thought Sun and Moon were just okay at best, and then I absolutely hated Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon for being the exact same game. I forgot to mention this in the OP, but USUM were part of the reason I had a bad taste for Pokemon, and the abandonment of the the third version makes that better. Edit: Also Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness are the unquestionably best games in the series. |
You have great taste. That we haven't had another Orre game is a travesty. Colo/XD are easily the best turn-based RPGs in the whole series.
My own rankings look very similar (Gens 3 and 5 are very close - I'd put 3 marginally higher). I'd say go for Sword/Shield, they're still fun and the DLC should hopefully fix the issues I have with them.
