What Pokémon games are good?

Honestly if you are an adult none
Except maybe the Pinball ones

R/S/E/FR/LG
Platinum/HG/SS
B/W and B2/W2
Everything else is either heavily flawed (Crystal, Sw/Sh) or outright shit (everything else).

As for spinoffs
Both Stadiums
Snap
Colosseum/Gale of Darkness
Conquest
Every PMD besides Gates to Infinity
Both Pokeparks
Probably some more I'm forgetting, but most of the spinoffs are good. Only a few are outright trash (Hey You Pikachu).

Forgot to mention S/M. They're okay too, if only because they tried something new.

play palworld, pokemon is ass and needs innovate badly

>>715020016 (OP)
Pokémon games are not engaging to adults without developmental disabilities.

Having said that, i've enjoyed Moemon and some nuzlocke romhacks.

there are more degenerate romhacks i will not name here

>SM
>ther game that takes 21 fucking minutes until the first fight
USUM is shit and yet fixed all the flaws of SM

>>715020016 (OP)
Basically every game from the first until HG/SS. B&W is the first bad one, until that you had ocassional slow/boring titles like R/S or D/P. After it went 3D with 3DS bad pokemon games become prominent.

>>715020323
the only gen 3 games worth giving a damn are Emerald and FR/LG

I didn't say it was perfect. It was bogged down with endless tutorials and nobody could shut the fuck up.
>yet fixed all the flaws of SM
While simultaneously adding more with more useless story NPCs who won't shut the fuck up.
What I liked about S/M was the departure from the tried and true formula of the 8 gym format. It's still somewhat formulaic but it was a nice breath of fresh air. Team Skull is also the best team in the franchise.
The game could definitely be salvaged. It's not a lost cause like S/V or fucking especially X/Y.

>>715021246
Fair enough. Ruby/Sapphire aren't bad, but Emerald definitely makes them obsolete.

>Team Skull is also the best team in the franchise.
are you fucking retarded?

Until Team Star Skull were the shit of the shit, and even Star is salvageable because it has the best music in mainline.

>>715022003
So which Youtuber are you parroting this time?

>>715020742
>Forgot to mention S/M. They're okay too
No, they're fucking terrible and the low point until the later new lows from further releases on Switch.

>>715020016 (OP)
The primo of mainline
>Red/blue or fire red/leaf green
>Heart gold/soul silver
>Emerald
>Platinum
Good spinoffs
>PMD Rescue Team and Explorers of Sky
>Pokemon Snap
>Pokemon Conquest
>Gale of Darkness
Or really the only spinoffs I'd avoid are the mobile games and Dash or something
