My first was actually Pokémon Red. Probably the first game I ever played. I got Diamond almost as soon as it came out, though and it was my life for 4 years or so  

Oh, how old were you?

I was eleven (I think) when I played my first Pokémon game BTW.

I plan to get every Pokémon game I haven't played as soon as I can after I get a 2DS and a Switch when I get the money. 

Well, I hope you get them soon. They're fantastic games.

They sure are, especially Sun and Moon. 

I really want/need to get around to playing the Ultra versions.

I would've bought Sun/Moon when they released, but I was too busy with other games. Didn't have much of my own money either.

I never actually got around to playing Yoshi’s Woolly World.

Was it good? I hear that “professional” reviews undermarked it.

I've watched play-throughs of Sun and Moon as well as Black and White and they definitely seemed great to me. I can't wait until I can! Though Smash Ultimate and Super Mario Odyssey may be a little higher on my priority list

I can't agree with your low placement of Gen V, but I do very much agree with Gen VII being last. And not just because of LGP/E, but those most certainly did not help. At all.

I want to play Smash Ultimate, so bad. I want to play my new main, King K. Rool and my Smash 4 main, Yoshi

I do like Gen 5 as games, and I adore BW2's postgame content a lot and stuff like Hidden Grottos and Challenge Mode. But I didn't care much for the rest of it, and think that other gens did what Gen 5 has done better. That being said though, I did get 999:59 on Black, and I have a Gold Trainer Card on Black 2 (i'm on the path to getting the Black Trainer Card even).

But yeah, Gen 7 suuuuucks. SM was shaky as is, but LGPE didn't do it any favours either. It's the first Pokemon game I refuse to get

Odyssey is a fantastic game. Easy, but very fun. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, is well, Super Smash Brothers. I don't think I need to add anything else.

I saw rabbidluigi's playthrough of it and I have to agree with that assessment. As for Smash, yeah. I just want to play K. Rool that bad.

It has been quite a while since I have paid any mind to Pokemon... but I suppose I could toss my opinion in, since the opportunity has presented itself.

I tend to to enjoy all of the Generations, but i most certainly have my preferences.

1. Generation 5. Great story, a very good Pokedex (especially in B2W2), excellent music, and the multitude of Post-game features in B2W2 place 5 as my favorite Generation of Pokemon.
2. Generation 2. As dated as they may be, I still enjoy these games quite a lot, due to their good selection of new Pokemon, the Kanto Post-game, great-as-ever soundtrack, and the multitude of new features..
3. Generation 3. I tend to dislike the Generation 3 Pokemon designs... but everything else about this generation is superb. The soundtrack, the new mechanics, the pacing, and the Battle Frontier make Generation 3 an excellent era in Pokemon history. it is only a shame I dislike most of the Generation 3 Pokemon 9with the exception o my favorite Pokemon of all time, Milotic).
4. Generation 4. This Generation is good, but not amazing. I actually like the new Pokemon this generation introduced (including the previous generation evolutions), and the soundtrack is quite good... but the multitude of HMs alone drag this generation down much farther than it had to, even if you excuse the pacing.
5. Generation 6. This is the most thoroughly unremarkable generation, to be quite honest. It is not outright offensive in any way, but it doesn't elevate in the concept of Pokemon at all either. If you ask me, this generation is the most "obligatory." The Pokemon designs are absolutely phenomenal, however, which helps this generation quite a lot.
6. Generation 1. I firmly believe Red an Blue are fun games to this day, but they are not aging like wine at all. The Pokemon designs are quiet good, but the dated mechanics, multitude of glitches, incredibly easy difficulty, small inventory space, and overall design simply do not hold up.
7. Generation 7. It pains me to place this generation at the bottom, but there is simply no better place for it, in my opinion. I truly appreciate what they tried to do with Lillie's family and the Alola region as a whole... but the atrocious pacing completely diminishes any replay value. I also dislike this generation's Pokedex quite a bit; it has far too many Pokemon which rely on gimmicks... most of which are impractical at best, or an outright hindrance at worst. I also appreciate the idea of regional variants, but the fact that they are all Kanto Pokemon is a serious limit which simply does not need to exist.

I cannot in good conscious say I have ever hated a Pokemon game, but some are worth revisiting much more than others.

Ok? Since when did this topic became all about Pokemon? Not that I’m complaining mind you, just asking out of curiousity. Ah whatever I might as well.

 

To tell you the truth. I’ve only played the Pokemon games from the GBA, FireRed/LeafGreen and Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald. I have played through Pokemon Yellow which updates the first three Pokemon Games on the Gameboy (Red/Blue/Green) [2 actually since Green wasn’t released outside Japan]. I have yet to play through the Gen 2 games Gold/Silver/Crystal.

 

So if I were to describe myself here when it comes to Pokemon, I mostly played through Gen 1 and Gen 3. The other Gens... not so much.

[Treeglow Flicker 13,744]

I for some reason have this inexplicable urge to play Pokemon again.

Bonus truth: No matter what generation, I have to have a Ninetales in my main squad.

TIL @Rarity the Supreme is a latecomer (when it comes to Pokemon games, at least).

What is LGP?

I "only" played to BW. No 3DS, and the NDS doesn't work without power supply anymore either because I use it as sleeper for years now.

I actually never got the hate for BW, I really like the game. The gen IV remake HG SS was also very, very good. I kind-of hate Platin, I could never get into it despite 2 tries and also beating the game, but I didn't enjoy.

Similar is FR LG, albeit more disappointing regarding their remake status. I never liked that they striped it off already existing features like cell phone, berry collecting and day/night. Also, I feel it is mostly "just" a graphical update + some pokemon changes, but I really feel they missed the opportunity to update the game with new features. Esp. also how it was marketed, WHOA, 7 new island. Sounds great? The truth? 1 hour gameplay for these. Riiiiight.

I’ve never actually gotten around to playing the first Gen 5 games, but they do look pretty good.

I like G5 for it’s story, and the fact that the second games where more than a mere “final version”, but it’s definitely not my favourite generation. It just did very little to innovate compared to many of the other games, and a lot of the Pokémon designs were very hit or miss for me.

[Here No Longer 5,276]

I'll try again to change the subject this thread... 

 

I am a Weird Al fan... I recognize his parodies more than I do the original songs... XD There's a commercial where there's some dude singing "I want it that Way" and I couldn't help but start singing Weird Al's parody ("Ebay")...

Gen 4 was the generation that I grew up with (I watched the show endlessly) and is probably my second favourite overall.

If I had to rank them each, they would probably go:

1) Gen 7

2) Gen 4

3) Gen 3

4) Gen 5

5) Gen 6

6) Gen 2

7) Gen 1

You talking about Pokemon, right?

Personally I didn't like the earlier Gens for forcing my character to walk, not run at all times. Thank Arceus the running shoes and running mechanic was introduced in G3.
