    My god... this is so full of ridiculous errors... whoever wrote this obviously has never touched a pokemon game, just read about them. I'm gonna go play my crystal version now...

    I love pokemon I'm sticking that Silver was the best out of everyone of them and that Johto was the best region. and they should remake the old ones to fit the better graphics ^.^

    Oh, and besides....in every region, there's always a different belief of how the world was created...and that just ruined the tv show..i guess..

    Team rocket is sooo much better than team galactic....over the years, they've torn the game from the original storyline...i mean, ok...the new pokemon are fine, but i guess they're overdoing it...i mean, i was completely fine having just 120 pokemon...and then the new johto was fine with me...what got me started ticking was the Hoenn...and what got me to explode was Sinnoh...too many legendary pokemon! I doubt you could even call them unique and powerful anymore because there are other legendary pokemon that can beat them...

    ...Kanto isn't a city, it's a region. >_>

    Oh my god, this is giving me a sense of nostalgia. Red and Blue are still my favorites. Although I think the new ones are still fun to play. I think they should remake the old pokemon games, but keep them the same, just better graphics. That would be fun to see.

    I loved Squirtle, Blue red and yellow were the best, silver wasn't bad, but after that they just became a dumb waste of money, i wish i still had my GBC sometimes...they need to put the classic pokemon back in the games and not make so many different side missions, its stupid...
