Top 10 Best Pokemon Video Games
Top 10 Best Pokemon Video Games
The Pokémon franchise has been around since it first debuted in Japan in 1996 and has released numerous main series games, remakes and spin-offs–but which of those Pokémon games is the very best, like no game ever was? IGN’s resident Pokémaniacs got together and ranked the Top 10 best Pokémon video games. Newer games such as Pokémon Legends: Arceus and New Pokémon Snap enter the discussion alongside classics like Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Pokémon Colosseum, Pokémon Emerald and more. With so many Pokémon games in the debate and various factors to consider, it was a tough whittling our list down to just the ten best Pokémon games. Check out our picks on the top Pokémon video games and let us know which ones you would choose in the comments.
The fact that platinum isn’t even on this list invalidates the whole thing
Shoutout to Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Series. Sky is still in my top 5 Pokemon games ever and Ill recommend it to any Pokemon fan
UHhH where tff is Platinum my dude. Arguably in my opinion Pokémon’s greatest game 👌
Then followed by B2/W2 , HG/SS, Emerald.
Any other Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Fans out there? Have so many great memories with them and DX was a wonderful experience
Rom hacks are the best fan made
silver/gold/crystal and heartgold/soulsilver are the best in my opinion.
Too many switch titles on this list for it to be credible
The original silver and gold were the perfect sequel, especially if you played gen 1 as it was new and experienced gen 2 right after. They added so much stuff that literally just made it that much better. It’s pokemons terminator 2.
Forgot about Platinum
Was sad to see Stadium didn’t make the list. Glad to see Conquest did!
12:14 Đôi khi muốn giả làm gà. Để xem anh thịt hay là anh nuôi.
Y’all put FireRed and LeafGreen at number 3 but not Platinum. LMAO
Where is Platinum wtf?
Don’t understand why sword and shield is here. Should be erased from existence
Imagine if Pokémon snap and Pokémon legends: Arceus had a baby🤯
Of love black 2 and white 2 so much. Had blast at the time:)
It’s Funny That Everyone Talk That SwSh In The List But Almost None Talk That A RECOLOR PUZZLE GAME IS IN THIS LIST
Red/Blue the greatest absolute OG. Then gold/silver.
Noooo. Shield > PLA? What a joke
Saying sword and shield is better than Legends Arceus is so wrong to me 😭
This list was made while high or under duress.
Pokemon Conquest will always be the number one for me!
Sword and shield should not be here
So Platinum didn’t happen
Platinum is best game for me
S tier – HGSS, B2W2
A tier – Emerald (A+), Platinum, FRLG, BW
B tier – SM, USUM (B+), RS, DP, ORAS, BDSP
C tier – XY, GSC (play HGSS)
D tier – SwSh, RBY (play FRLG)
– FRLG should be played before HGSS and BW should be played before BW2. The story continuity is part of what makes them S tier games in the series.
– RBY and GSC have been eclipsed by their remakes.
– XY and SwSh were still fun but they felt a bit rushed for the new console.
– BDSP could get better via content updates but they made some design choices that made story too easy.
Gold/Silver for life
So sword and shield but no omega ruby or alpha sapphire???
Damn, sun and moon imo should’ve been here
No Legends Arceus or Platinum. Clowns.
Seeing more work put into the graphics for the games not made by gamefreak makes me sad
The fact that Colosseum and Stadium games aren’t even in the Top Ten are grossly insulting to the Pokemon Fans. :/
Absolutely agree with the top two…….most definitely my favorites
Pokemon Heartgold and Soulsilver are one of the best games ever. Full stop.
they did NOT just put puzzle league above legends arceus
“Innovative” wild area in sword and shield. Hahahahaha
Black 2 and White 2 are still a blast.
Pokémon conquest was just amazing
For sure, Conquest has some of the better art designs when it comes to Pokemon games –
How tf can you but Sword and Shield before Legends: Arceus IGN
New pokemon snap and sword and shield over legends Arceus wtf
Where tf is Platinum ?! why tf is Fire red and emerald over Platinum, BW and XY !? List is based on nostalgia, terrible list
Those first five entries have me biting my tongue for the sake of kindness
The amount of people saying they that HGSS reminds them of childhood, and not G/S makes me very uncomfortable…
Platinum and Coliseum got SNUBBED
Magikarp Splash should be number 1
Are u kidding me obv u don’t play Pokémon legends arceus is the best game if not top 3 I don’t know anyone who agrees with ur list cuz ur obv a casual leave it to ign to do things without thinking and full of morons🤦🏽
Puzzle league was fun, but not in the top 10. I’d argue the Pokémon Stadium games belong on this list though.
Pokemon Gold and silver is my favourite 💞
SoulSilver, Platinum & Emerald my top 3
