To be fair, that era has nostalgia backing it. Back when they came out, there was a lot of controversy and hate for a few years..... And starting in Gen 3, EVERY GENERATION got hated for a few years.... and then, after a few generations, nostalgia pours in and the kids who grew up with those games become adults and bam, the games got love....

I played so many Wi-Fi battles, trading, completing the Pokedex and post game in this era. Sure this era wasn't perfect like every other era, (mainly because of diamond and pearl) but, i'll never forget the amazing experience i had with the DS Pokemon games.

I think the ds era was the best for pokemon and games in general because playing 3ds games and generations of consoles after will eventually loose game features over time when companies shut their servers down. So you won't be able to play the game at its full potential. Its pretty bad when you can play a gamecube game in the year 2024 but you can't play a wii u game because of servers.

People need to stop spreading the false narrative that Black and White was controversial because people wanted to play their old favorites. That is absolutely not what happened. I was there when the games were released. Everyone hated the new designs and thought that the new Pokémon sucked and that it was hard to create a party of Pokémon you actually liked. There were definitely a handful of overpowered Pokémon that people latched onto, but that didn’t help the fact that the starters and early route Pokémon were so bad.

Absolutely it was the best on the DS, and it peaked in the 5th gen. The care and attention to detail peaked, as did the artistic direction. Beautiful. Gen 2 and 3 have the most nostalgic connection to me and were with me throughout the largest part of my childhood, so I don't consider B&W reaching the zenith as being a result of the rose-coloured-nostalgia-go-goggles.

Yeah, DS era was the best hands down. I also really like 7th gen Sun/Moon/UltraSun/UltraMoon but was never super crazy on gen 6 as a whole.

I'd argue the DS era was the last era of good region design for Pokemon as well, with it starting its decline in Gen 5. Unova still had some of the metroidvania-esque exploration that HMs offered when it came to reaching optional areas or dungeons later, to find unique pokemon, items or trainers you couldn't elsewhere. However, it didn't have nearly as much in the puzzle realm, like the Strength or Ice sliding puzzles in Gen 4. Black and White 2 are still good games anyway and still offer a lot to do, it was just the start of things getting really linear with the route design, and some of the depth being stripped out mechanically. Once Pokemon went fully 3D and stripped out the HMs, it was a permanent hit to the level design, and it hasn't ever recovered. Every area being a bland and simple hallway that you have no reason to return to after the first time is what the level design looks like now, with no optional dungeons and puzzles.

In my opinion, Black 2 & White 2 is an near perfect Pokemon game. Everything from it's QOL improvements from the previous games, to the well crafted worlds, characters and other gameplay, an great roster dex, the postgame at it's best, the music, etc. The story isn't on the same level as the first Black & White game. But it's not an big deal for me since I prefer gameplay over story anyway and I think the plot is fine enough. Even to this day, no games comes close of being as perfect as B2&W2 were.

The way I saw the DS era was this: gen 4 was the COMPLETION of the Classic era of Pokemon games. For 4 generations, you had a strong roster of Pokemon, regions, lore, and moments that ended with a bang thanks to the remakes of HGSS. Gen 5 is more of the soft reboot where it transitioned into the Modern era of Pokemon: more emphasis on characters and story. The battling ,music, and atmosphere was at a higher quality, and it was the start of what Pokemon was becoming...or at least we thought that was until we saw the 3D era of Pokemon.

No. Sorry, not sorry. I’ll take the “n64 trees” of Pokemon on switch, over the cramped form factor and the HMs of the DS titles. Oh and despite the people’s complaints, Pokemon Let’s Go was a legitimately good title, with interesting catch mechanics that broke up the extremely monotonous gameplay of the Kanto region. I will agree that some newer evolutions of Kanto pokemon should have been in the game, as well abilities and breeding. But I’m fine with it, given that it’s meant to be “babies’ first pokemon”. It was the first game where I actually completed the dex. Pokémon Sw/Sh was also very good, if lacking in the story area, especially with the addition of the Crown Tundra. Scarlet/Violet had very good story, but was severely lacking in the technical department, including graphics. Ironically I think Pokemon Legends Arceus is really boring and bad and I hate that the next appearance of Mega Evolution is going to be in a freaking Legends game.

Bruh??? DS has gen 5 and HGSS. DPPT honestly sucks. I grew up in the awkward transition between DS and 3DS but still I don’t like DPPT even though playing it as a kid. It should be nostalgic but it’s not. It’s very bad in terms of story Pokédex and sluggishness. Gen 5 was so incredibly perfect. HGSS was a game I never played until recently when I bought the original games to complete my gen 5 Pokédex on my DS. If I were to ever play another game as a kid it would gen RSE are so amazing and the story was generation that cements the traditional pokemon storylines. So much exploration in that gen. Sucks how after the peak of pokemon HGSS / BW BW2 we got gen 6 and 7😂 gen 7 did try but the story doesnt really make sense and it’s incredibly awful to replay. Tutorial after tutorial but hey they didn’t give us some dumb excuse of not including the national dex

Gen 6 and 7 are masterpieces just like smash 4

So it still is the ds era as you can play your gba games on your ds and after ruby and Sapphire every pokemon game that launched was by that point also playable on the ds

People still buy the actual games instead of just emulating them?

I have physical cartridges. I am playing pearl right now collecting ribbons on my doubles team. I just got the 50 win doubles ribbon from the battle tower!! I'm going to start breeding a little cup team on this pearl cart soon too. I plan on using them in sunny park on my physical battle revolution disc that I also own. I've emulated a loooooot of games and I've come to value save files. GoodLuck with your saves!!

The DS era is my least favorite. I loved Gen 1, 2, and 3 on the Game Boy, the games were fun and engaging, not too complex, great music. The DS era was when they started getting more ambitious, with questionable results. The weird mix of 2D/3D, the fact everything was super slow, they were really pushing up against the limits of the hardware. The 3DS is where they were able to finally realize some of those ambitious with proper 3D models, real 3D worlds, etc, as well as remove the weird stuff that didn't end up working in the DS era.

When do you think it was best? I think either GBA or DS

I don’t know, I just wanted to make a funny comment. But I guess I would say 3DS because I’ve only played Omega Ruby.

Ds pokemon is overrated, because DP were garbage, games are too expensive to obtain, and the DS's library itself is extremely overrated, the 3ds was a better console with a better library

@@edwardsaldana2534 bruh if you still have a 3ds you can just mod it and play all those games that your complaining are too expensive to get second hand. And news flash the 3ds can play ds games, so I dont understand the need to point that out

@edwardsaldana2534 Ur in 2024 tho, just homebrew ur ds or 3ds, it's worth 200 because of the rarity and demand for it not how good the game is.
