If I had a level 100 Pika'chu I wouldn't feel gimped. Give that Poke a Light Ball and you're looking at a rather formidable sweeper.
Red/Blue/Yellow - The originals that set it all up. I have many child hood memories playing these games.
Gold/Silver/Crystal- The ability to breed was pretty awesome aswell as Poke'mon holding items.
Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald- These brought Poke'mon back into my life. I have many fond memories playing this one. The new Poke'mon abilities brought much more customization into a Trainer's party line up. Not to mention berries. The Poke'mon Contests were actually pretty fun. This is the first one I actually attempted to complete the Poke'dex. Got 199, but couldn't find someone willing to trade me a Latios.
Diamond/Pearl/Platinum- These are my favorite easily. Now instead of a particular type always being a physical or special attack (like Normal always being physical and Water always being special) each individual attack has its own typing. This was a gift from Fate Above for me. I've always used all Water type Poke'mon since the very beginning and this allowed my teams to be much more varied in strengths. Sure Gyrados lost his powerful Hydro Beam, but it was more then worth the trade off. With new wifi battling I took Poke'mon to the competitive field and have to say I'm a pretty good battler. It is in this franchise that I've clocked in over 400 hours. A lot of that being Breeding, planting berries everywhere, EV training, plowing through the Elite 4 over and over again, and battling people online.
I'm wondering what Heart Gold and Soul Silver will add to what I'm already so much in love with. I really hope we don't lose berries to the apricorn things. I can't imagine life without my Lum and Leppa berries.
