What are your favourite Pokemon games besides BW/BW2?

oh man that is a TOUGH call. i love a lot of them for different reasons. im thinking diamond and sun, probably.. ik everyone says platinum is the definitive version of sinnoh but ive never played it myself and diamond was my first pokemon game. meanwhile sun i think just has a great story, characters, and my favorite pokedex overall. i also have to give an honorable mention to pla, because i really loved the gameplay and story and it's what actually changed pkm from "this is a thing i like passively" to "THIS IS A SPECIAL INTEREST" in my brain

aaaand another honorable mention to scvi, because arven's story had me honestly stunned to my core and the main cast is so much fun. but i can't put it as a favorite because of the bland overworld/technical issues, even if it also has a great pokedex imo

if i could have it my way id probably break it down like this (again not including bw here but you can probably imagine how this list would look otherwise anyways):

fave story: sumo

fave dex: sumo

fave characters: dppt and sumo but scvi is also fighting tooth and nail for the spot

fave region: dppt

sorry to swsh i love you piers with all my heart and some of the pkm are great but thats about all it has going for it imo. and don't even get me started on xy
