I think Lets Go is considered mainline by Nintendo

I didn't remember it and zero people would have voted for it anyways so whatever

Phijkchu_Pikachu Feb 21, 2026 12:05 PM nintendo

HG/SS was my bad though, those games are actually good

Pyrrhic Feb 21, 2026 12:05 PM nintendo

The Lets Go games have to be mainline since there is no colon in their names. It's the Legends games which are spinoffs. edit: because of colon.

Phijkchu_Pikachu Feb 21, 2026 12:05 PM nintendo

Pokemon Snap is mainline for the same reason

Phijkchu_Pikachu Feb 21, 2026 12:06 PM nintendo

and channel and colleseum, but XD gales of darkness is a spinoff

TinyBomby Feb 21, 2026 12:06 PM nintendo

Let's Go, while having different catching mechanics, still follows the exact same formula of a mainline Pokemon game. The Legends games have entirely different formulas, combat mechanics, and catching mechanics.

Spooky Phijkchu Feb 21, 2026 12:07 PM nintendo

I'm ignoring your instructions, and voting which ones I think are fun

legorhin Feb 21, 2026 12:07 PM nintendo

lets go would be great games if they hadn't put the stupid catching system in

TinyBomby Feb 21, 2026 12:07 PM nintendo

Well, the story was also completely ruined in Let's Go.

Phijkchu_Pikachu Feb 21, 2026 12:07 PM nintendo

I associate good with fun

Phijkchu_Pikachu Feb 21, 2026 12:07 PM nintendo

so that is a fair interpretation

TinyBomby Feb 21, 2026 12:07 PM nintendo

I actually think the catching mechanic wasn't as bad as I was expecting. It's much faster than other games, so you can catch lots of pokemon quickly.

legorhin Feb 21, 2026 12:08 PM nintendo

i am glad sword and shield is the only thing with no votes

TinyBomby Feb 21, 2026 12:08 PM nintendo

Why does USUM have more votes than SM... It's literally just the same game but worse

legorhin Feb 21, 2026 12:08 PM nintendo

more content

TinyBomby Feb 21, 2026 12:09 PM nintendo

I guess rainbow rocket is okay? The game is practically just story with how much dialogue it has and then it also ruins the most important parts of the story from SM.

polu Feb 21, 2026 12:24 PM nintendo

Can you subtract one vote from each game i've played for Pokemon? I don't think any are good.

Phijkchu_Cynnydaquil Feb 21, 2026 1:56 PM nintendo

I feel like there’s not a lot of good games after the jump to 3D, even if I did personally enjoy them

Phijkchu_Cynnydaquil Feb 21, 2026 1:57 PM nintendo

The only one I can’t comment on tho is ZA because I haven’t played it yet

Polar_ Feb 21, 2026 2:23 PM nintendo

X/Y defenders explain yourself

Polar_ Feb 21, 2026 2:23 PM nintendo

That was the pokemon game that made me quit again, the story was ok and the post game battle tower was neat

Polar_ Feb 21, 2026 2:23 PM nintendo

Other than that I cannot think of many redeeming qualities

Raccoons Feb 21, 2026 2:24 PM nintendo

ORAS was forgotten

Dialga Feb 21, 2026 2:25 PM nintendo

yeah he forgot them alongside HGSS

Raccoons Feb 21, 2026 2:26 PM nintendo

I think everyone agrees those are the best ones tho

Polar_ Feb 21, 2026 2:27 PM nintendo

I just assumed the Gen2 ones covered the remakes, because theyre just better. ORAS I didnt play but I know people have a lot of gripes with it

TinyBomby Feb 21, 2026 2:28 PM nintendo

I do not like ORAS

TinyBomby Feb 21, 2026 2:28 PM nintendo

I mean, it's fine, it still has the base structure of the gen 3 games, but it's just inferior in every way

Raccoons Feb 21, 2026 2:28 PM nintendo

Its better than XY because Gen 3 is better than gen 6. But pokemon had become bad already by this point so yea

TinyBomby Feb 21, 2026 2:29 PM nintendo

It's insane to me that they added new dialogue and new events with people coming to talk to you like a modern pokemon game would do...

Phijkchu_Pikachu Feb 21, 2026 2:33 PM nintendo

ORAS was forgotten

FUCK

Polar_ Feb 21, 2026 2:33 PM nintendo

All votes invalidated

Phijkchu_Pikachu Feb 21, 2026 2:33 PM nintendo

Before anyone shits on me even more

Phijkchu_Pikachu Feb 21, 2026 2:33 PM nintendo

BD/SP were forgotten

TinyBomby Feb 21, 2026 2:34 PM nintendo

there's literally no reason to include BD/SP

TinyBomby Feb 21, 2026 2:34 PM nintendo

they have nothing new on the originals

Phijkchu_Pikachu Feb 21, 2026 2:34 PM nintendo

I remembered fire red because max was complaining about it, then forgot all the other remakes

Polar_ Feb 21, 2026 2:45 PM nintendo

I feel like id rather a remaster than a remake of games preX/Y, but i have low hope they would ever be good

TinyBomby Feb 21, 2026 2:46 PM nintendo

I dunno, I'd rather they do something new with a new game. Even if I don't like ORAS, I infinitely prefer ORAS to BD/SP. At least ORAS has a reason to exist.

Polar_ Feb 21, 2026 2:46 PM nintendo

Wait i switched those. Id rather have a revised version of the game with newer stuff than just X gen with newer graphics

TinyBomby Feb 21, 2026 2:47 PM nintendo

yeah

Polar_ Feb 21, 2026 2:47 PM nintendo

Did BD/SP at least speed up the dmg meme from gen4

Phijkchu_Pikachu Feb 21, 2026 2:59 PM nintendo

For what its worth, I actually completed and did a lot of BD/SP

Phijkchu_Pikachu Feb 21, 2026 2:59 PM nintendo

cannot say the same of sun, shield (or X before I went back to complete it for my ORAS pokedex)

legorhin Feb 21, 2026 3:04 PM nintendo

I did most of BDSP and forgot it existed

Phijkchu_Cynnydaquil Feb 21, 2026 4:13 PM nintendo

I enjoyed BDSP but not enough to say it’s good on its own ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

X/Y defenders explain yourself

X/Y is actually up there for some of the most soulful pokemon games

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:36 PM nintendo

it has the best online pokemon ever had

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:36 PM nintendo

it was a "you had to be there"

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:36 PM nintendo

stuff like wonder trading, megas were actually hype at the time etc.

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:36 PM nintendo

if you go back now it's not really that great

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:37 PM nintendo

but as a game and something that released when it did, it did a lot

Okay what about FRLG

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:38 PM nintendo

do you feel the same about FRLG?

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:38 PM nintendo

And you can't use the "it was to bring pokemon to a new era" defense because bdsp argubly does the same thing

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:39 PM nintendo

And yes

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:39 PM nintendo

Let's Go games are mainline

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:39 PM nintendo

gamefreak confirmed it

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:39 PM nintendo

they are a remake of Pokemon yellow

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:40 PM nintendo

its like if they did another gen2 remake and it was a remake of crystal

I would literally never use that argument, I hate it

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:40 PM nintendo

then frlg equally does not need to exist

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:41 PM nintendo

I actually consider that BDSP has more merit in its existence than frlg, just from how much it changes/adds comparatively

TinyBomby Feb 21, 2026 4:41 PM nintendo

FRLG technically does add a bit in the sevii islands, but yeah I'd be fine with cutting it tbh. I don't think it adds very much, especially with only a 2 gen difference.

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:41 PM nintendo

sevii islands 😂

TinyBomby Feb 21, 2026 4:42 PM nintendo

At least they gave Moltres a real home instead of it being weirdly placed in victory road

TinyBomby Feb 21, 2026 4:42 PM nintendo

and the rape quest, that was funny

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:44 PM nintendo

Anyways scarlet and violet are probably the most fun games

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:44 PM nintendo

in the entire serie

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:44 PM nintendo

s

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:44 PM nintendo

but they're not good games

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:44 PM nintendo

its like getting a really juicy hamburger

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:45 PM nintendo

or a piece of pizza that when you touch it you instantly need to wash your hands after you eat

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:45 PM nintendo

because it so greasy

You are smoking crack, but I will grant that it was the best online they did

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:46 PM nintendo

rollar skating, megas, best online, wonder trading, character customization (had the sovl to make sure you always wore a hat like a real pokemon trainer)

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:46 PM nintendo

did you know gen6 had the most available catchable pokemon

Phijkchu_Pikachu Feb 21, 2026 4:46 PM nintendo

counter point, I hated playing the game and didn't even finish it until years later so its bad

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:46 PM nintendo

if you wanted to catch them all without transferring

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:46 PM nintendo

to this DAY

taxes Feb 21, 2026 4:46 PM nintendo

it has the most possible
