17 years ago, today in Japan the first Pokemon games Red and Green were released.
I didn't play them when they were first released outside of Japan because I wasn't old enough, my first was Sapphire.
Anyway let's take this moment to look back on the series as a whole? How do you think the series has evolved since Generation 1? What are your favorite games in the series?

huh it's only 17 ? i thought it was much much older like the 25 year old Metal Gear series

The new generation was good. The story was phenomenal, the pokemon were decent, and the amount of content was good. Ignoring nostalgia, I'd say that Gen V was the best in the entire series. Nintendo really proved that they can tell an interesting story with Gen V. On top of that, I really thought the interactions Black/White to Black 2/White 2 with people actually knowing your past character, and even being able to sync things up for other moments was a nice touch. My only disappointment was not being able to find your previous character in the sequel. (like Gold/Silver vs Red) I'm interested in seeing what direction they go with gen 6.

1 ReplyOne of my favorite games of all time. That moment when you first visit the tree city in Emerald.

I like the new generations, they look good, sometimes the franchise tries to innovate, but it usually stays on safe grounds.

I'd say the series has improved over time. My favourite games in the series were Black and White, due to the advancements to the battle system and other mechanics (less HM use, TMs infinite use, etc) and the much better story. I also think the pokemon in every generation are good, with exceptions in each.

Oh wow, I wasn't sure if I was older than Pokemon haha. My first game was Sapphire too, love it. Anyone else stoked about Pokemon X and Y? I don't want to look into it any more, because I seriously spoiled Black and White for me.
