Which Pokemon game should I get for my DS?

[Revin]

So I've been thinking of getting a Pokemon game for my DS, but I'm not sure which one. Chances are that the game shops here will only have Black/White 2, but in the off-chance that there is something else, I just thought I'd ask you guys so I know which I should get.

Get Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky


It's awesome

Well, I was more thinking of getting one of the normal ones, but I guess I'll think about that, too.

I'd personally say Pokémon HeartGold or Pokémon Platinum.

Pokemon HeartGold or Pokemon SoulSilver.

Yes the G2 remakes were amazing, probably my favoroute games of all.

 

[Mario4Ever]

Pokemon HeartGold or Pokemon SoulSilver.

I really enjoyed Platinum, so, that's my recommendation!

Get Pokemon Black or Pokemon White.

I just can't really seem to go backwards and lose all the wonderful features that were in Gen V, like UNLIMITED USE TMs.

Also, there's none of the HM garbage - you only have to use an HM once in the game, and it's pretty early on - meaning you can actually train six Pokemon and not have to sacrifice a space in your party for an HM user.

The EXP formula has also been reworked - now you get more experience if you beat a higher level with a lower level Pokemon, which makes it easier to train six Pokemon because you'll gain more EXP than if you trained only one or two.

On the flip side, the Fire and Grass starters are pretty worthless in BW... but there are plenty of great Pokemon that I believe more than make up for it.

The fourth generation is my favorite in the series, and Black and White are pretty awesome too, so I'd say one of those.

For some reason I didn't really like the Gold/Silver remakes that much though, even though the second generation is my second favorite.
