To be fair, it's based off the user rankings of the site like most of their ranking articles. Can't complain about it since the order isn't dictated by the one who put the video together.

It's a decent list, would swap out positions #3 and #1 personally but that's just down to taste.

Actually a very solid list, if I could move one game, it'd be Scarlet/Violet above Ultra Sun/Moon, I still think SV would be far higher up the rankings if it wasn't so laggy at times and looked ever so slightly nicer, playing through them again has made me realise that they're too big (map size) for Pokemon though, no idea how they actually compare, but Legends Arceus felt a much better size, but that might have been due to it being split into 5 areas?. The top 5 are very solid though, nostalgia alone would make the number 5 game be number 1 though.

Seeing all those GB/GBC/GBA games though The memories just come rushing right back, if we get a Pokemon Presents in August again and these aren't announced, they just won't be coming till the Switch 2 is out, which is just annoying

The range of soda pop Pokémon plushies are being made available in the West, with the original Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle up first.

Here are a few snaps of the wee Pokémon. WARNING These are cute. Too cute. I'm wondering if they may be illegal?

They're around £17 each. I'm not a huge fan of Pokémon but, dang, these look good.

pokemon black and white remake could come to switch 2 and could have 2 stories in it once you beat first story.

then your on the second story and there was pokemon black and white ds sequel.

A complete generation 5 remake - as in a proper remake - would be such a great thing. Given enough care, an open world Unova would be brilliant. Not entirely confident Game Freak could make it happen, though.

[Robbo-92]

I do wonder if they'd find it harder to transition a game from routes to open world, which is why we got Legends Arceus as well as BDSP, with how good Gen 5 is, I'd take a remaster rather than a remake, especially if they keep the pixel art If they want to do an open world Unova game, wait till a Legends game set in that region.

Anyone hopeful of another Pokemon Presents in August anyway? If we don't get anything about older games coming to the Switch then, its not happening on the Switch, probably not the Switch 2 either
