What are your top pokemon games??

Official or fangame? I’ll just list both. I will say Pokemon Reborn is my top-rated overall if we combine both lists (with HGSS and Collesseum/XD following as 2 and 3 respectively.)

On Official, it’s

1. Heartgold/Soulsilver (My favorite region is Johto, and Ethan is my favorite Pokemon protagonist so…unsurprising. The games are still genuinely good though imo because of the massive amount of content and post-game and QoL stuff like following Pokemon, auto-run, etc.) I also love the nostalgic feeling of the region. Lance is also here, and I like him and his design a lot, not as much as Volkner though. Also Proton is here, and I love the dude so. Pedometer is included here.

2. Pokemon Colosseum/Pokemon XD; I include this together since they’re a duo set in terms of story. XD is the better one gameplay-wise because of the new additions of Shadow moves, more Pokemon choices, QoL changes like saving, etc. but Colosseum is the harder of the two games imo b/c of the sparsity of Pokemon–if you can play it on laptop, mod XD with Pokemon XG for massive QoL changes (Fairy Type, more shadow Pokemon, upped difficulty, etc.)

I like how this set tries new stuff and it honestly showcases how if you the Pokemon IP to a third-party, you end up with something that tries to be different and actually plays pretty well.

3. Pokemon BWBW2; included as a set because of joint story line. Honestly, I feel like BWBW2 are objectively the last great mainline series additions. Even if you didn’t care for the story, they at least tried with it and the rivals. You had the nice rival in Bianca and the “focused/ruder” rival in Cheren, and both encompassed the themes of the game (Truth with Bianca as she realizes her ineptness as a trainer and Ideals with Cheren who strives to overcome his boundaries and the player even if he never can). N is pretty awesome, and I think Ghetsis is a better Lusamine (sorry, idc for how Lusamine’s actions are brushed over and blamed on the space jellyfish). There’s a lot to enjoy in Unova imo.

Also massive post-game stuff like Join Avenue (which encourages one of the main tenets of Pokemon, interacting with others and trading; ex. “Magnemite Coil”), half the region opening up for Post-game (White Treehollow, Kyurem’s abode, etc.). The Legendaries also have home locations for the most part, and their items aren’t just given to you by random people. A lot of stuff to do that isn’t just breeding mindlessly for shinies (I mean I love doing that, but options ya know?) or online battle.

4. Pokemon Conquest; Fire Emblem (or more accurately, Nobunaga’s ambition) meets Pokemon. I like turn-based grid tactic games, and this one’s actually pretty fun. You’re encouraged to roam around and give people different Pokemon to see which ones they’re compatible with. Also another example of what can be done if Pokemon is given to a another developer.

5. Pokemon Explores of Sky (and to a lesser extent since it’s the base, Time/Darkness); you can swap this with Colloseum/XD, BWBW2 or Pokemon Conquest depending on if you prefer Pokemon’s style of play, tactics games, or dungeon crawlers. I like this one since the story’s actually pretty good, the difficulty’s nice, and especially the post-game dungeons and content.

6. Pokemon Platinum and Diamond+Pearl to a lesser extent– the region that actually has a reasonably difficult Elite Four and champion. I love the additions they have like distortion world, the melancholic feel you get at times in the Chateau area and snowfields, and the post-game Battle Frontier. However, the games run so slow without Drayano’s mods. In terms of husbandos, Volkner’s pretty nice as well, and he’s pretty high-tier for me. Cynthia’s here as well, so I guess she counts since she’s a feature every time she shows up.

7. Pokemon FRLG-The definite version of Kanto for me. Sevii Islands, callbacks (callforwards?) to the Johto games with the Rocket Admins, decent difficulty and ability to sequence break somewhat, etc. It gives new experiences for those who’ve played the OG versions, but doesn’t change them drastically. The “you can’t evolve anything outside of the OG 151 before post-game” is stupid though. Lance is here as well, but his half Dragonite/Dragonair team annoys me b/c of how repetitive it is, but product of the time as well and the HGSS first battle had that as well but at least they’re all evolved.

8. Pokemon Red/Blue Rescue Team-I like this one since the story’s still good and incorporates the idea of a human being transported to a Pokemon world, but I just feel like Sky’s gameplay improvements and portraits for everyone trumps this one. I like Gengar a lot and his team. I also think the difficulty on this one (depending on starter and partner) is fairly good at times (The Moltres fight is actually pretty difficult if you don’t have Pikachu or a water type partner).

9. Pokemon Emerald and to a lesser extent Ruby/Sapphire–Battle Frontier, Scott and Smeargle cave (ie. post-game content), beautiful promotional artwork (including ORAS’s), fairly difficult battles at time if you aren’t prepared/going in blind with no excessive grinding (2nd May battle, Flannery, etc.), hidden secrets like Regis and Secret Bases. However, the latter half is so boring with the excessive surfing and lackluster variety. Steven’s here, and he’s a dreamboat even with the sprite graphics.

10. Pokemon Channel and Hey you, Pikachu!-Weird I know. This would be higher if I didn’t think this was a niche pick. It’s just really relaxing, and I want another one, especially if you can get more Pokemon to raise. It’s a lot more fun once you play it. I like exploring with Pikachu and it offers a look into the world of Pokemon as a non-trainer. I really want another one tbh.

11. Pokemon Rangers series (Ranked from favorite to lowest; Shadows of Almia–>OG–>Guardian Signs; all are good but that’s my preference) The gameplay is actually pretty fun, and I wish we got another one. They could use Joycons as a styler. Spencer, Sven, and Lunick are also pretty cute

12. Pokken Tournament- What battles should feel like in mainline if they injected millions of dollars into the mainline, so unrealistic expectation. I think Pokken is a decent fighting game. The moves are nice, and the music is good. This can go lower if you don’t care for fighting games.

13. Pokemon Battle Revolution and Stadium games-They’re mostly battle simulators with some mini-games. The animations are actually pretty lively and fun compared to SWSH’s. I would like to rank this higher, but there is no story mode sadly. It’s great if you want to see what Pokemon would look like in-scale.

14. Pokemon X/Y-I think these are actually pretty nice if only for the fact there isn’t excessive handholding; it’s there but it doesn’t force me to put down the game out of boredom. The outfits are genuinely pretty cute. However, the rivals are ridiculously terrible, difficulty is either too low or unbalanced if you use/turn off exp. share. Let’s put ORAS here as well b/c I think the lack of Battle Frontier and mediocre post-game, getting Lati@s early, etc. drops it down from Emerald. The PSS system is amazing though.

15. Pokemon Trozei and Pokemon Pinball series-Yeah, I’ve played these. Trozei’s actually pretty cool as a match-3 game, and pinball is pinball. You also get slightly more lore into the Pokemon world with Lucy Fleetfoot. I like match-3 and pinball so very much a YMMV. Pop Gates to Infinity and Super Mystery Dungeon here as well. Idk, they just lack the magic of the first two entries.

16. Pokemon Snap, Pokemon Dash, all the other spin-offs I didn’t talk about-they all offer something fun, but I just wish it was either updated for modern times and not released again (like with Snap) or a bit more (in the case of Detective Pikachu and Pokepark series). Pop Puzzle League games here as well. I like them, but they aren’t much besides Tetris games. Same goes for the Pokemon Trading Card games; they’re nice, but not super great imo.

???. Pokemon Box/Ranch/all the other storage games and stuff like Dream Radar-Idk what you’d want me to say since they’re storage space or gimmick games to catch HA Pokemon. You do get Extremespeed Zigzagoon which I love since the little buggers are very adorable.

Bottom Tier. Pokemon SM and USUM. I hate these games. They’re cash grabs (more so than usual) with being $40 a piece and the updated versions being barely changed (and actually feeling like what should have been released first). Incredibly handholding, areas feel half-baked, lacks areas to explore for the most part, Lillie is kinda annoying for me tbh (which hurts because you’re supposed to feel for her and the game’s story hinges on that), and the player is an actual detriment to what they’re trying to achieve story-wise. A big shame b/c Alola is a pretty region and Team Skull is great in concept, but execution is awful. Stated as someone who has bought all 4 versions to keep, and 2 extras for gifting.

Absolute Bottom Tier- Pokemon Masters, incredibly terrible mobage game coming from someone who plays FGO, FEH, etc. lack of meaningful content, grinding but meaningless b/c of said lack of content (ex. FGO gates you with mats but it makes you feel like you’re growing with your servants and offers a story and events to compensate; basically, a sense of achievement). CO-OP is pretty bad when you can just hop over to GBF or something if you want guilds and group content. I’m still gonna wait for Ethan and Volkner to appear though.

Unrated-OG RBGY and OG GSC (the remakes are superior outside of nostalgia factor imo so I think it’d be unfair for them to take a spot), LGPE (didn’t buy them b/c pricing but the colors are vibrant and I love that), SWSH (didn’t buy them because I have opinions on the cuts and stuff and price point doesn’t look appealing for what’s offered), Pokemon Mini (these were included with Pokemon Channel), Magikarp Jump+Duel (Duel was a cash grab and Magikarp Jump is cute but no real opinion on it), Pokemon Go (weird spot where I like it, but I don’t live in an area with safe walking areas so very much area-dependent), Arcade games (I don’t live in Japan for that), Perdue Farm games (they’re flash games made to promote so…), Pokemon Rumble (enjoyable but not memorable for me imo) etc.

Fangames-

1. Pokemon Reborn-150+ hours of content, visible themes that permeate the story and characters, beautiful spritework for some of the areas, intuitive usage of TMs/HMs and some logic (ex. Field Effects that emulate anime battling in turn-based rpg such as Corrosive Field; using Rock Smash to break the glass in some areas to solve puzzles, etc.), actual difficulty that hinges on how much you understand Pokemon (ex. IVs, stats, EVs, etc.) that’s fair but still difficult, puzzles and rewards for exploring and coming back to areas, etc. Fantastic game that I wish Gamefreak had attempted to emulate (perhaps not the darker themes but the ambition basically). Has some kinks with the revolving door of characters and such but still fantastic. Also offers custom shiny sprites, custom egg sprites, and online play like Wonder Trade and battling.

2. Pokemon Rocket Edition-Not done but I think this is a fantastic hack so far story-wise and how it implements its mechanics. You’re a Rocket Grunt, but you aren’t OP. It deals with the politics behind Kanto and Team Rocket. Still being worked on.

3. Pokemon Viridian Version-Another “play as a Rocket” game. Funny yet still can be serious; it takes the tone of the anime and understands when to be serious and when to not be. It feels like it would fit into the canon tone-wise, and deconstructs the “it’s cool to be a Rocket!” thing.

4. Pokemon Gaia-Excellent and a huge callback to classic Pokemon in story. It’s an OG region and offers a lot to do.

5. Drayano hacks- QoL updates but his work actually adds a lot to the games+new events.

Anyways, that’s my list. There’s a lot of Pokemon content, but this is how I feel for the most part.

#long post #i will say Piers is high tier husbando though

Blessing in Disguise

A Garcy Student/Teacher AU. Multi-chapter. This is my first ever fic. Ever. Go easy on me, but I absolutely welcome any/all feedback. This has only been proofread by me, so if you find typos, please let me know to fix them.

Notes: No warnings for now, slight language. The University and city name are not included. You can imagine them anywhere really. I also know, it is extremely unlikely for PhD requirements to change like that, but I needed a reason for her to be older/wiser than a typical undergrad but still find herself in that class. Go with it. ;)

Link to Ch. 2 Link to AO3

Ch. 1

Lucy Preston is angry. Actually, that is an understatement. She has never felt more jerked around than she has by the University’s current administration. She is so, so close to completing her PhD in history and now they tell her she needs one more elective. The administration feels PhD students should be the most “well rounded” with enrichment in other subjects here and there. They feel she needs to take one last science course. “Lovely,” she thinks to herself. They did mention that it could be an undergraduate class and that should be easy, at least.

She clicks through the online course catalog looking at her options. Biology? No thank you. Chemistry? You’re kidding, right? Lucy hates math, never cared much for science but never really disliked it either. She always managed to get by well enough in her science classes. She scrolls across an option “Introduction to Earth Science, GSC 201” and pauses. “Earth Science… like rocks and plate tectonics…?” she says to herself. She considers how it could possibly be useful to know the geographic landscape in the places she has studied in history and decides this class may be the least waste of her time. She enrolls in the course and picks the first class with a Monday, Wednesday, Friday class time and lab once per week on Thursdays. She barely glances at the professor’s name. She doesn’t really care and doesn’t bother looking up “Dr. Garcia Flynn” on RateMyProfessor.

Day 1 of the semester is a Monday. She walks into her Earth Science class and groans internally. The room seats roughly 50 and she sees a sea of 18, 19, 20-year-old faces staring back at her. She still doesn’t consider herself old, but it’s been quite some time since she has sat in an undergraduate class. It is one minute until lecture is scheduled to begin and the professor still isn’t there. “Great,” she thinks. “An undergrad professor that doesn’t care and will be late every day.” She was proven wrong almost as quickly as the thought crossed her mind. Dr. Garcia Flynn walks through the door exactly on time and Lucy almost chokes on the water she brought with her to class. Dr. Flynn was …… something.

She guessed he was about 6’4” and looked like he fell out of a higher end men’s clothing catalog. The clothes weren’t flashy, but practical and stylish. He looked very well put together. The rest of him made Lucy pinch herself to make sure she was really on a college campus and not a movie set. He was tall, dark and most certainly handsome. She thought to herself “THIS is who should have been playing Langdon in Angels and Demons.” Sure, she liked Tom Hanks just as much as the next person, but as far as attractive, that is not who her mind’s eye pictured when she read the books. Dr. Flynn was more her cup of tea. His mysterious European accent was really the cherry on top.

Suddenly, Lucy became aware that the entire class including Flynn was staring directly at her, apparently waiting for her. Mortified, she snapped herself out of it and decided honesty was the best policy and looked directly back at Flynn.

“I’m so sorry, I think I was in my own little world. What was the question?” She smiled and so did Flynn.

“We were going around the room introducing ourselves. What’s something you would like to share or that we should know about you?” Flynn replied.

Lucy perked up, “Oh! I’m Lucy Preston, I am from this area, lived here all of my life and almost finished with my PhD in History.” She sat back down and tried not to make eye contact with anyone around her but snuck a glance at Flynn. He had an impressed or surprised (one of them?) grin on his face.

“Welcome to Intro to Earth Science, Lucy” Flynn said warmly then signaled to the next student to carry on with introductions.

The lecture time was 50 minutes, and after talk of the syllabus, expectations, office hours, and other basic start of class topics, the class was dismissed. Lucy took her time packing up. She hated the stampede that followed every class dismissal. She didn’t intend for that to leave her and Flynn alone in the room together. He was strolling over to her as she slung her jacket over her shoulders but awkwardly couldn’t get her arm in the sleeve on the left side. He simply said “Here” and held the side out for her to slide her arm in. She hoped to God above that she was wearing enough makeup to conceal the blush. He spoke again.

“Soon to be Dr. Preston, what brings you to GSC 201?”

Lucy sighed, she physically felt all of the anger she had for having to take this class melt away in an instant. Instead she told him about how the administration changed the requirements at the last minute before the semester started and she needed one last science elective.

“I was hoping this would be the least painful science elective for me. And you know, rocks are cool I guess.”

Flynn leaned his head back and let out a genuine laugh. “Rocks are cool indeed. The last thing I want to do is disappoint you, but Geology is actually the last rotation we do this semester.”

She said “hey, that’s okay. I’m along for the ride.”

His full smile had a devastating effect on her. He said “well good” as he rubbed his hands together.

She mustered all of the “cool girl, calm, collected grace” she possibly could and walked toward the exit leaving him standing there. She turned back over her shoulder to look at him and said “I’ll see you Wednesday, then” with a big smile and left the room. Looking around the empty room, he rubbed his hand over his face and thought this might be an interesting semester after all.

As Lucy trekked through the unfamiliar science building, she finally found an exit to the outside world. She walked down the mall through campus going over the details of the conversation she had just had in her mind.

Was he interested?

Was he just being really friendly?

Shit, did he have a ring on?

She was entirely too distracted to remember to look. Wednesday then. She kept walking.
