Which is better, gold & silver, diamond & pearl or black & white?
CptMugwash:
I'm in a dilemma,
After looking at the pokemon from black and white I've come to the conclusion that they're pretty naff :( Diamond and pearl don't look much better either and gold and silver, well after yellow/red/blue/green I never continued really, but I plan on getting a DS and a pokemon game, what I'm after is not just some decent pokemon but also play features, like what can you do on the games, can you play other people over the internet, not just wifi/infared? etc.
Thanks
Jack
Jerry:
You can play through the internet as from Gen IV.
But it's really up to you, seeing that you judge pokemon on their appearance mainly...
For me, I prefer Platinum and closely followed up by SoulSilver.
John Flame:
Believe,4th gen/5th gen balance some of their fugly pokés with some epic moves and fun stuff to do.
If you really can't be changed,try 3rd gen.
It's like a book...
"Introduction to weird pokémon:part 1"...
Wire:
I think gold and silver was the best.
