    Zac’s opinions are understandable but Hybrid & Infamous do have a point though. Sinnoh is one of the most popular regions so putting it in the lowest is too much even if the flaws are noticeable, B tier should be the right place for both DP & BDSP ✌🏻

    But Platinum literally is THAT much better than DP. Diamond and Pearl seem like they struggle to even run on the DS. And in DP there are small pauses in between animations that make the game play slower that are not in Platinum. Platinum is the definition of ENHANCED version.

    Something nobody pointed out about Crystal was it introduced the odd egg and expanded the Pokémon availability, Johto is notorious for having a very bland selection of Pokémon and a lot of the cool and strong Johto Pokémon are literally stuck in the postgame in Kanto but Crystal did a good bit to remedy this. Let’s Go Pikachu did something similar and greatly expanded the variety of Pokémon in Kanto. Also Emerald in A was a big miss, Emerald is one of the few truly S tier games. This is my personal tier list: S: LA, Emerald, Platinum, ORAS, HGSS, BW2 A: BW, FRLG, Crystal, LGPE B: RS, BDSP, XY, USUM, SwSh C: Yellow, GS, SM D: RBG, DP I personally don’t get the LGPE hate. It’s the most diverse version of Kanto, it’s very charming and graphically appealing, they are at least before SV, the best looking Pokémon games easily.

    You’ll have to elaborate more on the “expanded variety in Kanto” because how I see it, not really. Unless your adding Megas & Alolan forms then that’s not really diverse because on the end it’s just a different variation of Kanto Pokémon. When you say variety I’m thinking like other Gen mons in game that was not accessible from previous games. In LGPE your still stuck with the original 151.

    The overall tier list (the one made on stream) was pretty spot on with how I feel. Except I really do believe nothing belongs on D tier. Which is why I think the let's go games should be next to pokémon yellow. I also like Sun & Moon just as much as USUM so I'd put them both in A. My personal opinion. A minor change and to me it be perfect. Very nice debating back and forth

    I would personally put USUM in S tier and SM in A. SM really focuses on the story and you can tell gamefreak really tried to deliver. I would argue they have the best in the main series. USUM: The hardest games in the main line series. The only games you can get other box art legendaries legally before the league (also mewtwo). Mantine surfing for BP or to get between islands side quests increased shiny odds Bottle caps for IV training First definitive editions to include new pokemon for the first time Arguably the best dex in the series not only being able to get all 18 types on the first island but also a fully evolved psuedo Battle tree as well as battle agencies The only games to have 2 major gimmicks (Z-moves & megas)

    Unova games deserve their place in S tier. All four are amazing and far better than the anime based on them. Basically the inverse with X and Y where the anime succeeded while the games left a bit to be desired BDSP, I actually enjoyed for the most part. It had its flaws but at least grinding and HMs weren't a hindrance and the Grand Underground let you get certain Pokemon sooner and easier

    While Let's Go having the best aesthetic in Modern Pokemon may be a statement I agree with, the reason its true is because all the other games just look incredibly underwhelming. Swsh's graphics appears like a half baked early 2010s ps3 indie title and BDSP somehow looks worse than its decade old original version its trying to emulate and it's so sad.

How you can think they are that vastly different is absurd to me personally and I can't help but think it's not even a subjectively absurd statement but an objectively absurd one! Personally I hate the region and Dex but the physical special split is so important that it warrants significant acknowledgement and respect. Many Pokémon were unusable until it came around and made them viable options.

I had to throw away all my games, plushes and cards. I was so hyped for Gen 5 but because of one change in my parents I didn't play pokemon for the next 6 yrs until I was 18. Finally going back and playing those games, I can't imagine why they're the lowest selling pokemon games, because they're amazing. Was there some general poké fatigue?

Also People didn’t like the new Pokémon and those games only having the new Pokémon available didn’t help either.

    For some reason, I just despised USUM. I think part of it had to do with SM burnout because I had played SM around 4 times before USUM but for real nothing was hitting. The game just felt so neutered. Granted I haven't played the game since I first ran though so maybe I'm missing something special. I'm planning on doing a Nuzlocke in the near future so maybe my thoughts could change. I just know I'm not giving the story another try. That straight Tauros dukey right there.

    I agree with JPR about Gen 3. In my opinion Hoenn is a much better region than Sinnoh, at least isn't slow. Also Ruby and Sapphire are a much better base game than Diamond and Pearl. One more thing: BDSP is a much worse game than LPLE and although Let's go has controversial decisions, at least it was more consistent with its own ideas, whereas BDSP don't know if want to be a faithful remake or not, to be difficult or easy, to have the fairy type but not to include any Pokémon past Gen 4, if wanted to add Platinum content but made the absolute minimum, add some modern pokemon changes and quality of life but exclude others (+ worse graphics and following pokémon).

    I agree that if you put platinum as s then dp then is b minimal. Platinum has lots of improvements but at the end its still just 70% dp. The upgraded living Dex and post game is really the only huge improvement. dp does have lots of flaws like it running slow, bad living Dex,hms and hardly any post game but some of these flaws are still present in other non enhanced Pokemon games. I noticed lots of first version have pretty bad post games and gen 3 also had a bad living Dex, infact you couldn't get all the Pokemon in gen 3 until fire red and leaf green came out. I think what makes dp fun is sinnioh is just a good map to explore, good Pokemon designs and I actually like the pacing of the story, the story didn't feel like it was trying to rush you to the finish, it actually felt like a long story from star lt to finish. Dp are overall better games then ruby. I think people really just need to ingore platinum and enhanced versions in general when comparing to the base games because of course the enhanced versions usally make the original look bad.

When gen 3 started the Pokedex only had 200 Pokemon and no way to transfer from gen 2. Gen three was only able to get all Pokemon once emerald and the gen 1 remakes finally came out. Emerald also added a battle frountier and more post game so by that logic ruby shappire should be C teir as well since emerald is a very similar upgrade to platinum.

    It''s just an open world with nothing to do honestly. There's a reason why the games went downhill after violet and scarlet it's because they aren't sticking to its roots, like completing gyms. I will say that violet and scarlet did 1 thing really good for me and that's to have almost every pokemon available at the start prior facing any gens. For example if u wanted to have a garchomp, gible was only obtainable after gym nr X
