Bump ORAS two and then it's accurate

>>27041170
True, but ask anyone other than the Unovabortion hivemind on this board what they think of B2W2. It's unlikely that whoever you'll run into is a Unovababby hipster who willingly buys an overpriced, old DS game due to perceived "superiority" over the current entries.

HGSS to S
XY to D
DP and ORAS to C
>>
>>27041188
After B2W2, yes

>>27041178

calling someone a contrarian doesn't detract from the validity of their opinion. if the chart bothers you, why not try making actual points instead of using effortless, meaningless insults

I'm talking more about B2W2 than BW1, and out of those, the people who think that XY and ORAS are Other M-level abominations and that RBY has no redeeming value.

>>27041777
The best explanation I can think of is something akin to the "Zelda Cycle", where the current games are considered the worst ever while the previous games are considered infallible sacred cows due to their fans growing up and becoming nostalgic for them.

But it's especially prevalent here because Unova fans are the same ones whose opinions and favorite games were bullied hard by genwunners back when they first came out, so now they took a page out of Lenora's book and learned the TM for Retaliate.

Such as >>27041841, where someone is mocked JUST FOR LIKING XY.

This is 90% objectively right

I'd just put ORAS in the same tier as XY though.

People liked it because it "shook up the formula" which it barely did, if anything SM will shake it up far more with how abundantly obvious that they're dropping gyms.

ORAS isn't shit. That's a meme opinion. It's better than RS and MAYBE worse than Emerald because of missing features from that game.
Seriously, turn off exp share and it's almost exactly the same as the originals with all of the improvements of the series up till now.

I should really learn from you. It's just that I get some sort of rush out of seeing contrarian hipsters worship B2W2 and bash things that I enjoy more.

>>27041944
I actually agree with that. ORAS are basically what XY should have been in the first place.

See, the problem is with the people who claim that B2W2 are absolute masterpieces while XY are objectively shit games on the level of Superman 64.

Only ranking I agree with tbhfam, I have a softspot for HGSS tho so I'd rank that s tier IMO.
>>
>>27041967
I feel saying X and Y get underserved hate is very false.

I personally thought ORAS was much better than X and Y by a lot.

Unovabortions aren't that bad really it's that their "triggered easily" and there's a lot of unfair hate towards them from Genwunners/Hoennfags and Kalosperms/Neo Hoennfags. I just kinda like all the DS games....

Obviously except DP, Jesus Christ what garbage

They had the best gameplay, but the worst overall desing (yeah, there are some that are actually really good, but there are a lot more uglier than good) and a really good music. Also the region design is not really good (where the routes are placed, not the design of them) and finally a bad 3D try, but the sprites left a really good taste for being the last ones before we jumped to real 3D models.

>>27041891
I skipped gen 4 and 5 because I really disliked them when DP came out, but bought a 3DS after watching XY leaks and got very hyped. For me is the most beatufil region. After that I gave a try on gen 4/5, but I realised XY were my favorites.

Thanks for the (You)! Have another in exchange!

>>27041967
Anon, no one here has ever said BW2 are flawles

They've just got a shit ton to do, whereas X and Y have jack shit to do

Also BW2 still had handholding, but it eventually grew out of it. I'm X and Y, I don't feel like anyone or anything has changed since the day I've started

I didn't say "flawless", I said "absolute masterpieces". If someone claims B2W2 is the pinnacle of the series, that's essentially what they're implying.

I'd put HGSS in S tier with BW2, and maybe FRLG in B tier, but this is overall a very good list.

The people that hate on BW2 are the ones that never played the game and just follow the meme hate.

HGSS/Pt/BW2/E are praised highly mostly because of how much content you can do in the games.

A lot of the criticism (designs, region) are subjective and are not really good arguments to use

B/W was pretty disappointing when I first played them, playing the region in reverse doesn't seem like it would fix much.

Quite the opposite for me. I remember hating XY after rushing through it but now that I'm playing again it's not as bad as I remember it.

XY is easy and lacking in content.
BW2 are easy but not lacking in content, and have a hard mode that is similar to Platinum's difficulty.

I think X & Y should be S tier just because they are the first game to finally take the step and become 3D.

D tier should be the first original two gens.

C tier is Diamond, pearl, the updated kanto games, and the updated Hoenn games (fuck that shitty forced storyline so much).

B tier is Ruby, Sapphire, and if you don't think X and Y should be bumped up to S tier instantly, then they get put here instead.

A tier is Emerald and Platinum.

S tier is Black & White 2 and Heartgold and soulsilver.

It seems like you only chose some of these spots so you could make a pyramid chart.

>>27043069
The rival(s) were the shittiest other than XY. The worst pokemon designs came out of this gen. The worst starters. The worst legendaries. All coupled with an ominous and boring storyline. Nice cities and scenery can't save you this time.
>>
>>27043232
You could literally say that exact thing for any game

What made X and Y better?
>>
>>27041084
Mostly right to me but I'd put ORAS where Emerald is, R/S where ORAS is, and Emerald where R/S are.
>>
>>27043095
I guess you could argue that since they forced their team to get their shit together they just rushed everything else, making the game kind of shitty. Would explain why the evil antagonist for this game were literally just psychopaths that want to watch the world burn for shits and giggles, instead of having some convoluted reason.

But it doesn't really explain much, considering ORAS was a steaming pile of shit as well, and they didn't even have to use different assets.

But no matter how shitty the game is, it isn't nearly as shitty as the original two gens. And because i am also grading it for climbing out of the 2D pit of despair and indie gaming, it gets bumped up one rank to B. The S tier was kind of stupid thing to bump it up to.

You mad that Gen 1 isn't higher on the list?
>>
>>27041777
They were fresh, actually had a non-shit tier story, and introduced some great new Pokemon and challenge mode in BW2.
>>
>>27043391
Thanks anon

I'll keep that in mind while I battle my rival for the last time when they have one Pokemon move

>I skipped gen 4 and 5 because I really disliked them when DP came out, but bought a 3DS after watching XY leaks and got very hyped. For me is the most beatufil region. After that I gave a try on gen 4/5, but I realised XY were my favorites.

I'm convinced everyone who likes XY just got out of Pokémon during Gen 4 and 5 and only got back into the series when XY was released, which made it seem a lot better to them since they haven't played a game from the series in a while. Not that it's the player's fault this happened, just circumstance gives them an skewed view on the series.

>>27041084
I feel like im the only one who didn't like BW2

I highly favored XY and was not out of pokemon for gen 4 and 5.
>>
>>27043465
This right here. Everyone I've met that likes XY the most were out of the loop for a while and it appealed to their Gen 1 Nostalgia. The people I know that played 4-5 prefer them.
>>
>>27043476
Not at all. I think there is just a single samefagging shitposter who is either trolling or actually does like it.
>>
>>27041084
Raise BW1 to A, HGSS to S, and potentially lower Emerald to B

I guarantee Gen VI is not going to become suddenly praised after Gen VII's release, and it especially won't be praised after 3DS online shuts down, since a lot of features Gen VI fans boast about are either online-only or used almost exclusively for online purposes, like the ease of breeding and ORAS' Secret Bases.

I'd swap XY with ORAS but otherwise... yeah.

And what? Will Unova worship continue for long enough to spread to normies too, who'll adopt Volcarona as their patron saint and decide that it respresents the new definitive Pokémon generation?

I highly doubt that anyone who has played all the games would ever rank Unova at the top of the list save for epic memers.

This. I'd swap em with BW on OP's list

All I've ever seen /vp/ moan about is 'waah my Golbat couldn't evolve into Crobat until National Dex'. One issue which 90% of people wouldn't encounter compared to taking all of good from the originals, improving on much of the bad & adding a load of new content. I just don't get the problem
>>
>>27041084
Would put BW to C, RBY to C and RS to B
>>
>>27043918
That would be ORAS, sorry. Just ask the Neo-Hoennbabbies who'll flood this board in 3 years.
>>
>>27042436
>Neckbeards
So anyone that didn't join back in at XY and actual likes getting new Pokemon is automatically a neckbeard? Maybe people like them because it was fresh.
>>
>>27041084
Move HGSS down a level and BW up a level and it's perfect.

What about the people who like B2W2 but are fed up with the bandwagon worship?
>>
>>27042905
No Pokémon games are difficult, but Platinum is relatively harder than all the other games in the series, only Emerald and Challenge Mode BW2 compare, and arguably GSC and its remakes but that's due to its wonky level curve rather than intentional design.
>>
>>27043995
It feels like there's very little worship imo

This.

>>27041084
Move all gen 4 games to D rank
Move ORAS to S rank
Switch X and Y with BW2
Switch RB with GS
Switch FRLG with HGSS
A decent list emerges
>>
>>27041113
No. They are mid tier games due to horrific level balancing and Pokémon distribution.
>>
>>27043064
>These games are being graded on what they did.

That's not what you should grade games on, you should base them on their quality. I don't hate 3D models (though some of those flying animations are pretty shit), but I'd much rather play a 2D game with good gameplay and lots of content than a 3D game with tons of handholding and nothing to do but bike simulator.

XY's 3D isn't even that good, there are framedrops out the ass when you're in a triple or horde battle, and sometimes I see frame drops in single battles.
>>
>>27044086
you're judging a pokemon game by fps? lol. its nothing unplayable. also get a new 3ds and you'll have no problems
Better than the terrible pseudo3d they attempted and horrible nausea inducing camera angles from unova.
>>
>>27044121
I've literally seen people on this board claim that XY is unplayable garbage.
>>
>>27044121
>you're judging a pokemon game by fps?

No, I'm saying that IF you were judging Pokémon by its graphics (which you seem to be doing partially since you'd bump XY to top-tier just for being 3D) XY's framerate issues and bad flying animations negate a lot of the benefits of that jump.
>>
>>27044134
no shit. its the current gen
and let me guess, they praise gen 5.
This happens in almost every game series.

>>27041084
That's accurate, actually.
>>
>>27044172
Elder Scrolls definitely
>>
>>27044172
But Twilight Princess is still the worst and Majora's Mask is still the GOAT.
>>
>>27044172
Except X and Y are actually unfinshed messes.

Final Rival's Pokemon don't have full movesets

Many characters just disappear from the story, gym badges at a time

Only like 2 gym leaders leave their gym, something that started in platinum

Where's the postgame?

A few characters don't even have official art

The battle Cheateu's writs of challenges turn Pokemon into level up sets.

They literally have you wake a Snorlax up off a bridge with the pokeflute

The first forest in the game, literally is Virdian Forrest
>>
>>27044241
Thats funny that Twilight Princess HD is the newest game and Majora's Mask 3d was before Triforce heroes..
So according to the chart, Twilight Princess is shit and Majoras Mask is now the best.
>>
>>27044241
Anon, I think you misspelled Skyword Sword
>>
>>27044281
Still a better game than that Neopet-laden 10fps mess known as DP.
>>
>>27044301
It's close to it.

DP<XY<RS<ORAS

X and Y can still be beat easily and quickly

Gen 1 doesn't deserve to be rated
>>
>>27044152
>>27044172
See >>27043632

Though if you disagree with the above post I'd like to hear why

>>27044326
>X and Y can still be beat easily and quickly

They're actually pretty long in comparison to the other games.
>>
>>27042921
>the shittiest games objectively.

But that's wrong
>>
>>27044326
I'd agree with that, except that I've never played R/S. And now I have no reason to since I've played OR.
>>
>>27044359
>And now I have no reason to since I've played OR.

I'd say RS still has some things over ORAS, like the Game Corner, Safari Zone, and non-truncated areas like Granite Cave. Then again those are also in Emerald so "I have no reason to play RS when I have Emerald and ORAS" would be acceptable.
>>
>>27044344
Well, compared to DP's General speed and level curve

Aaron to Cynthia is almost 10 levels, and the trainers in Victory Road are like 6 levels below Aaron, with only 1-2 Pokemon
>>
>>27044357
in your opinion?
thats not objective. the only thing objective is OPs opinion. or the opinions of those who prefer BW2
>>
I think it's confession time. I never could get into Black and White 2. I only made it to the second gym before i just couldn't bring myself to care about it anymore. It's literally the same region two years in the future, with everything the way it should've been originally. I can't bring myself to play it, because whenever i do i am just reminded of the insane bore fest that was Black and White. It's been years since i played it though, so the memories should be faded enough by now that it should be playable.

Is it worth trying to play again?
>>
>>27044401
if you never finished it, yeah. Unless you haven't played 6th gen. You should play XY and ORAS before Sun and Moon
>>
>>27043815
>if you like the game you're considered an epic memer

So if someone who has played all the Pokemon games and what they had to offer ranks Gen 5 at the top, they are an epic memer?
>>
>>27044401
>I only made it to the second gym
It's literally places you've never been before, that's not apart of the same region

Well what's the games that you like?
>>
>>27044440
Damn almost quints

>>27044444
>>
>>27043929
ORAS has no postgame
save for Delta Emerald (which is just a continuation of the story) and Battle Maison


Dont fucking tell me legendaries because that has been a thing since Gen 1.

>>27044401
I think maybe you never played this game like most BW2 haters.
The second gym is in a place that's not accessible in the first game so everything is new in the beginning at least
>>
>>27044401
This thread has open my eyes to Unova haters
>>
>>27042985
>>XY = Emerald
Emerald was my favorite, the most replayed, then XY are now my favorites.

>>Pokemon Yellow 2 tiers above gen RB
Were you born with 36 year old? When I had 5-10 years old, playing Yellow was incredible because you could get all starters, an hystory similar to the anime and fucking cool colors and surf. Maybe I should have put RB on C thought.

>>ORAS = HGSS
I enjoyed ORAS, but didn't enjoyed HGSS that much, but I know these are good games.

Also, learn to read the filename, "my opinion". I know some of these aren't that good speaking about game mechanics or whatever.

That's how we're ranking the games, not by childhood experiences

Silver will always be my favorite but if I was to make a list of top Pokemon games, it wouldn't make it to top 5
>>
>>27044959
You mean Sinnohfetus. Johtoddlers recognize HGSS as inferior to Crystal, adding nothing but gimmicks and subtracting gen 2's quality engine while noticably worsening the music. Only a Sinnohfetus could excuse gen 4's terrible gameplay.
>>
>>27045000
I'll take my special physical spilt and be on my way then
>>
>>27045000
But HGSS is superior to GSC
