What is your favourite Pokémon game, including hacks.  And why do you think it is such a good game?

For me it's Fire Red, I find it good to have a remake of the original would be good to see a remake of Pokémon yellow.
Would like to play Pokémon Black and White 2.
My favourite hack would be Ash's Quest would like to see the continuation of it through the Orange Islands.

Hhhmmmmm........ that's a toughy. I think it would be pikachu yellow just because you can interact with pikachu and plus pikachu is really cute. The other one I might say would be emerald because you have new character added in to it, plus it being nice combo of ruby and sapphire. Though crystal is bit challenging which is good cause I love games that pose a challenge so that it's not so blahish. Yes I know I suddenly went to three possibilities, but like I said I'm torn.

my favorite was pokemon soul silver because it has 2 regoins and you can get pokemon from the first 4 generations and the battle music is really good and you first pokemon in your party comes out of its poke ball. so this is probably the best pokemon game ever

Hmm let me think I say Pokemon emerald it was very fun a close second is Pokemon yellow

my favorite pokemon game is pokemon light platinum , it's the best game ever .

Thanks team for all your responses.

I am playing emerald 368 at the moment and might start playing heart gold or soul silver too.

my favorite would be pokemon gold and silver or pokemon yellow

speedy gonzalez : wish they had heart gold/ soul silver on here

Well, I'm a bit iffy on this situation here...

On one hand, I have Pokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Version and on the other hand I have a CreepyPasta version of Pokémon known as "Pokémon Creepy Black".

I think, all and all... Pokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Version, but then again... all of the Pokémon games are just absolutely amazing.

My favorite pokemon is Tyranitar followed closely by magmortar. Both of which are in Pokemon Light Platinum, which is the best pokemon game ever. 

My favorite Pokémon game hack on the board would have to be Pokémon light platinum because it has a long and well thought out story/plot with 2 in game regions, 16 gyms and a world championship with Pokémon and rivals from all generations as well as new ones made just for that hack. I also like Light platinum a lot because the games layout(area wise) was done really well and shows how much effort was put into the game and the graphics are by far the best out of any Pokémon game.

For the official Pokémon games my favorite would be between emerald and heart gold and yellow. I like emerald because of its vast depth and storyline/plot. Emeralds difficulty by far is the hardest out of any Pokémon game especially when you get to the battle frontier and win silver symbols. Heart gold is also a huge favorite of mine because i liked the fact that i could replay Pokémon gold's amazing story and catch by far the most unique generation of Pokémon ever.I also love Pokémon yellow version(i still own the cartilage version) because it has pikachu out side of the ball and he follows you around and all three starters are available in yellow from previous games such as green,red, and blue.

The Hack Pokemon Physics.
Hands down THE BEST game I EVER played.

My favorite regular game is undecided. I love the originals (Red, Blue, and Yellow[plus the remakes]) along with Gold and Silver (plus the remakes). Pokémon Black/White and Black/White 2 were surprisingly very great games. I had real low expectations for them both.

As for a hack... I love Pokémon Fulligin and Team Rocket Edition. I just love games were you can play as one of the members of Team Rocket I find it a very interesting dynamic.

The original red game. Mainly because it follows the greatest pokemon master of all Red, instead of that loser Ash. I say that because, he says he wants to be the master, but he knows nothing about pokemon.

Geoff-roe :
My favorite 3 real games are
3. Yellow
2. Black
1. Soul Silver

My favorite 3 hack games are
3. Victory Fire
2. Snakewood tied with Flora Sky
1. Light Platinum

That's it.

For real Pokémon games, my favorite is definitely Pokémon emerald. i like its starters best, plus thats when the double battle system, which i like, really started and the gym leaders are kinda hard. for hacks, i would say Pokémon snakewood. depite its eerie story, its quite fun and a must play for everyone who plays hacks. on a side note , this and flora sky are the only Pokémon hacks that i have ever completed at least until the elite four because they are so good. another good hack is Pokémon amnesia, but unfortunately its not finished yet.

I have to say Pokémon HeartGold. It is a remake but I think how they remade it is making a awesome game more awesome! 

I can't say anything about hacks because I play more Sonic and Mario hacks, not Pokémon.
