For me, it was Gold/Silver

Pokémon
The Pokémon franchise has spawned numerous titles and spin-offs, spanning several generations of games and has an animated series that spans many seasons.
Favorite Pokemon game?
I feel that the best Pokemon games were either Red/Blue or Gold/Silver. The games after that were still very enjoyable but, in my opinion, felt a bit overbloated with features and newer Pokemon I found hard to care so much about.
I have yet to try out Fire Red/Leaf Green but maybe these games are superior as they might mix the simplicity of the first 150 Pokemon of Red/Blue with the larger feature lists of the later games. The test will be if it still includes Missingno.
I played Yellow and Crystal. Crystal is the better one technologically and content-wise, but Yellow was awesome for its time.
Red/Blue purely for the nostalgia.
Gold and silver may have been on a bigger and better scale but you just shouldn't forget your roots.
Having played Diamond and LeafGreen, Blue remains my favourite in the series. That being said, I have Emerald and Gold tucked away waiting to be played, so the decision isn't as informed as it could be.
Gold and Silver for sure. I was psyched for a new Pokemon experience, but who expects day and night cycles with breeding grounds and all the awesome other stuff to hit a handheld when they are in 3rd grade? It blew my mind. And was the most innovative release in the series adjusting for time/tech progress.
