Heart Gold and Soul Silver.

I have a lot of nostalgia for Silver/Gold but Crystal is an upgrade in every way. I still remember how crazy it was to discover the entire Kanto region was in the game. The kind of weird pacing and leveling of the area made it feel even more kind an extra zone than shouldn’t exist.

I think you linked the wrong JPEG as this doesn’t look like Gale of Darkness.

I love the GB and GBC Pokemons, but GBA Pokemon is where it’s at

WARNING! PERSONAL OPINION: I know it has crappy graphics but thats why i love it. And the 3rd gen games are also amazing. They have such a refined look but its still pixelated. The rest of the games are either too old(gen 1) or too profit oriented(gen VI and up) gen 4 and 5 are good but i dont like the 2.5D style

A hundred percent. Awesome lore, great final legendary, I loved chasing all the dogs that I hear are cats. Rad.

yes

but also try Crystal Clear 👀

edit: oh, and Prism!

I still want Pokemon z version…

Pokemon Vietnamese Crystal even better

Pokemon Platinum wonders how you forgot about it.

Imo black and white are peak pokemon, every game since then has progressively gotten worse.
