QOTD: For me it has to be Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. It could be because its the very first Pokemon game that I played but I also think its the best because it has every single Pokemon up to gen 7, the unique Z moves and also MEGAS! And I like the "having a good time" vibes.

Qotd: idk if this counts but Mystery Dungeon Explores of Sky! Its story definitely had the most impact on me and the sound track is amazing! I’m also fond of the regular gen 4/5 games, but the DS spin off games like the Dungeon series and the Ranger series are definitely what comes to mind when I think of all the cool possibilities of what it could be like to live in a world with Pokemon.

I really hope they either remake Explorer's of Sky, or make a sequel to the series. Even though they remade the original Mystery Dungeon, Explorers story and especially character personality was leagues ahead of it. I remember being very emotional about it as a kid along the way and especially climax of the story.

Do you all think there was one person on the art team whose job it was to position the Tera Crowns on every single Pokemon? Day in and day out? I don’t know why I like to imagine this one person getting to Regidrago and working for days trying to figure out where it should go and then one day having that Eureka moment!

QOTD: Legends Arceus personally though for main series games gen 9 did a lot of stuff right (graphics / lagging issues aside) That being said I still have far more nostalgia for anything set in Kanto, Johto (!) and Hoenn so whenever those get remakes with newer graphics and mechanics I'm usually quite happy with the outcome... as long as they don't include weird choices like the Let's Go games.

Tera ghost really helps it exert tremendous offensive pressure since no non fairy type in the game wants to tank a dragon energy, and Tera ghost shuts down one of the best answers against dragon energy with fake out and an attack to cripple its base power.

Black and White 2 really feel like the ultimate Pokémon game to me. The sprite work and overworld design on Gen 5 is my absolute favorite, and it feels more alive than some Pokémon games today. The story continuation from Black/White is great, and genuinely has a very gripping and interesting story. It has a wonderful endgame, and the returning 'mons post the first iterations was awesome.

I think the move to 3D definitely created far more animation work for them than they were ready to handle. Especially when moving to the Switch. I imagine that was a big part of them trying to cut down the Pokedex for Sword and Shield.

I wholeheartedly agree; tons of Pokémon available during the journey, the PTW was great because it allowed older champions/gym leaders with their respective (and remade) battle themes, Cynthia match in her home, great soundtrack overall, a continuation of one of the best storylines in Pokémon, a long journey with tons of things to do, Ghetsis feeling like a true and great villian (like bro tried killing the player), bringing back N with a great new theme, some actually decent trade/gift mons (Zorua and Gigalyth for example), really good post-game, Pokestar Studios (if you like it, some people don't), the option to play with both really strong Pokémon (such as Darmanitan, Excadrill, Conkeldurr, Ferrothorn, etc.) or using more balanced Pokémon that are a bit more balanced (Krookodile, Leavanny, Lucario, the monkeys, etc.), great move tutors locations and moves... such a perfect game (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF NO EARTHQUAKE TM TILL POST-GAME, but that's all.)

Aaron, game 5, second to last turn. Zacian and Regidrago vs. Raging Bolt and Groudon. You said you were worried your opponent would Thunderclap Regidrago as you would terastalized it into Ghost type and reducing Dragon Energy damage output. So why didn't you just terastalize Zacian into Ground that turn so that you would have removed your weaknesses to Fire and Ground move by Groundon AND being immune to Electric type attacks and just leave Regidrago as a Dragon type, that way Thunderclap would have been not very effective. And then at that point just click Behemoth Blade (as you did) but Dragon Energy instead of Draco Meteor. Why didn't you consider this? Is this play viable in that situation? What would have been the risks?

Best pokemon games IMO: Overall: HGSS (due to replayability, nostalgia, extra content, graphics, gameplay, story).
