Here's my list.
DP are probably the best first entries of a generation if you overlook the slow game speed. The map is great and it is actually challenging. Gen5 has the best story simply because there IS a narrative and an actual storyline which most games don't have. Sinnoh deserves a proper remake and not the garbage we got. HGSS are the best remakes and content wise the best games in the franchise. Sun/Moon are so overrated imo, they're full of pointless cutscenes that ruin the pacing so much, also I struggle to make a top 5 list of Alola pokemon designs. Apart from Salazzle and Bewear there aren't any other ones that I truly like.
