Worst Pokemon game?

[snail]

What in your opinion is the worst pokemon game made?

I really never liked Gold and Silver for some reason, I don't quite know why.
And I really hated Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon, it felt like nintendo was milking in the success of Sun/Moon, and was a complete ripoff in my opinion. There wasn't enough new content to keep me entertained and I still haven't finished it to this day.

Next to some hippie wellness center and a forest, nearest stop is 5 miles at a portillos. Got no clue where the nearest gym even is lol

Also, HG/SS were the first Pokemon games to let your pokemon follow you around, I think. I was disappointed when Gen 5 removed that feature.

Pokémon Yellow for the GameBoy had that feature, but only for Pikachu.

The lack of Pokenav and the change to the battle house are very strange, but I guess none of those other things ever bothered me much. I spent hours having fun with Voltorb Flip, lol, and I never bothered re-challenging the gym leaders, so I can't empathize with that frustration. I also don't remember having to do much grinding, but maybe I should replay it to see if that's the case.

I think one of the things that keeps me coming back to Gen 2 is the music...it's my favorite in the series. <3 Also, it's special to me because it's the only gen (to the best of my knowledge) that let's you visit more than one region. I wish the other games did that. It really felt like a proper sequel to the Kanto games since it let you see how things there had changed and how the trainers there had grown once you did the Johto quest. Also, HG/SS were the first Pokemon games to let your pokemon follow you around, I think. I was disappointed when Gen 5 removed that feature.

Generation 2 and 5 were the best.
Generation 7 was the worst.

Gold and Silver were alright for me. The inclusion of Kanto felt a bit tacked on to me but it was pretty nifty for the time. As far as my least favorites go, it's been a while since I played them, but I wasn't a fan of Diamond and Pearl. Nothing really clicked with me from that generation. Other than that I would agree that the ultra versions of sun and moon weren't very inspired. If they had been the only versions of those games it might have been fine but I don't think there was any real reason for having them save to make Nintendo and Gamefreak a little more money.

I know that Let's Go has been kind of divisive to the fan base but so far I'm cautiously okay with it. I do like a lot of the changes they made and I can't see how they will ever go back to random battles after having them pop up on screen for you but I do wish the game was harder. Obviously they were trying to attract a different audience with these titles and I'm okay with it as long as it stays it's own separate series (sometimes a nice chill experience is a good thing) but I do think they need to get back to a lot of the core gameplay for the next set of games.

Well, Pokemon Yellow (NES) is quite bad, but that's more due to the technical limitations of the console. But really, there isn't any bad Pokémon game I am aware of.

Gold and Silver are actually my favs. Really thought the remakes on ds did em justice too. Always liked the idea of traveling the various regions between games.


least would be pokemon go if that counts as the mobile game. Haven't played lets go.

Do you live by the Fukashima Reactor, Hiroshima Memorial or The Pentagon?

One of the biggest annoyance I've had with modern Pokemon is that your rival is super friendly to you. Blue wasn't particularly douchy, he acted like a regular kid, but he straddled the line just enough to give you motivation to beat him. If the rival is acting super nice and friendly, where's the motivation to win? To become the best? To overcome your RIVAL? If the rival starts out as a complete asshole but sees the light and becomes nice later on, like Silver, that's just fine.

If I was a parent, I would personally be offended that Nintendo thinks my kid is so stupid they have to water the game down that much. I played the original Pokémon Red/Blue when I was 8 and didn't need that many handouts, it was fun to be challenged. Kids are scary smart and figure things out really quickly (ask any parent dumb enough to leave a kid alone with an unlocked smartphone). Yeah, they may cry when they don't win the first time, but they'll get over it and be better for it.

An excellent point. This is how it used to be, anyway.

I have not played Lets Go myself, but for me if you remove wild battles then it's no longer Pokemon. It is one of the most integral parts of the whole game...and I don't think it will come back in the next gen. I don't see how it can...because they will be going after this Go / Lets Go audience whose whole deal with Pokemon is just about catching and none of the strategy involved with battles etc... I won't be surprised if they removed trainer battles too and the entire game is just walk from city to city throwing Pokeballs. But with awesome graphics, obviously!

[MetroidJunkie]

Of the ones I've played, I have to say Pokemon Go. I don't see the point in playing such a stripped down version of Pokemon when the real Pokemon games have always been on a handheld, with online functionality if you're just in Go for the community aspect.

Pokemon Trozei for DS. There's no reason for this to exist.

I'm interested, as I'm actually a little shocked to hear that perspective. Gold and Silver were my favorite Pokemon games (I used to replay them every Christmas, lol), and I thought the remakes were perfectly fine. Could just be the nostalgia goggles, though.

I did not like Diamond and Pearl. The battles felt obnoxiously slow, and it just didn't feel like a step up at all from Ruby and Sapphire to me (aside from the awesome physical/special split for Pokemon moves). Canalave City's music is great, though.
