Isn't that just a remake of the one I played? That's the best the series has to offer besides the great original games?

You said that you wanted to play a Pokémon Game since Red. I must have misinterpreted you. Excuse me.
Either way, I still say FireRed and LeafGreen are great because they add a lot of quality of life updates and balance, while the Sevii Islands make a fun postgame.
If I were to recommend o newer game, I would suggest HeartGold or SoulSilver. Not only are tho sequels to the RGBY generation but also have a rich overworld that only benefits from the new quality of life updates these remakes have.

I meant like... since I only played Red and since there is the whole library of games now, what is the best Pokemon game since Red that is an exemplar of what the series has to offer.
Gold and Silver are the ones that are like two games in one, right?

Yes. Honestly the remakes are where I go. Platinum has a fun game but if you haven't played HGSS then do that or if you have a 3DS you can enjoy a well done 3D pokemon game with Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Both of those really take it to the next level with you eventually being able to physically fly on a pokemon in the overworld.

I have a spicy opinion that I don't have too much of a problem with shiny locking. They usually give out the shiny variants as events some time during that generation and you can get previous generation shinies when they flood each game with legendaries. Reshiram and Zekrom were able to be shiny in ORAS, Xerneas and Yveltal in Ultra Sun & Moon, and Zygarde, Solgaleo, and Lunala in the Crown Tundra.
I have a bigger problem with not having in-game repeatable methods to get old mythical Pokemon. Off the top of my head only Deoxys, Celebi (Pokemon Crystal on 3DS VC), and now Keldeo are available in a game. Really hoping they incorporate the Darkrai event into a post game chapter in Shining Pearl and Brilliant Diamond.
Platinum, HGSS, and ORAS are also the games I suggest to a returning player. They pick up where someone who quit after Gen 1 left off and are the better games for in game content. Ultra Sun and Moon are also solid and the post game is a good send off to the Gameboy and DS era Pokemon games, but said post game is kind of meaningless if you aren't invested in the old era of Pokemon.

...pretty much. Saying anything more would technically be a spoiler, but HeartGold and SoulSilver would be the best follow-up.
If you want only the best, try Black & White, then their sequels Black 2 and White 2.

More looking forward to the hall of origin arc since the darkrai chapter was in D/P via the cresselia arc.
The member's card and oaks letter were actually distributed once and was a pretty okay story for what it was.
Though they will likely pull an ORAS for the Postgame if they are worth anything as a dev.

Play HeartGold/SoulSilver, Black 2/White 2, Emerald, or Platinum. If for some reason you want to play a game from the 3D era, play Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon.
I personally disagree with everyone suggesting Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, Emerald is far more fun IMO.

HG/SS is a great remake for the gen 2 games but OR/AS lacked the amazing end game content Emerald had.

Explain how ORAS is better than Emerald. Hoenn is my favorite region and ORAS was still just boring to me. They didn’t need to make it so easy and remove the postgame. Also, I may be a Pokéboomer, but Dark Edea is a genwunner.

This Tweet has been making rounds on Twitter and caused a lot of upset and butthurt amongst SwSh fans. Even Joe jumped in to shit his pants. The op barely had any followers prior to the tweet and yet they were still discovered and dogpiled.

Idk man, that looks like a perfectly normal successful twitter post to me.
While we're talking B2W2, the difficulty system has the single worst designed unlock method ever. Who the fuck thought version locking, and completion-gating, difficulty settings for a game with no New Game Plus, or even more than one save file, was a remotely good idea?

No you’re right, the difficulty system unlock was retarded as shit. I brought up the dogpiling thing only because prior to the tweet the OP only had 20 followers and 21 following. I was trying to figure out who discovered the tweet of some random with such a low follower count and alerted the fanbase.

if joe found it early, that could be it, but it could also just be someone who agrees with him promoted it first. even then, i wouldn't be surprised if joe started it, because nothing says 'long-term twitter user' like a complete lack of knowledge about the Streisand Effect

Mawile was my first shiny in that game, absolute beast. It's a tragedy that this isn't a normal evolution, I wouldn't even care if they nerfed it, it needs to stick around.

You are all first gen fans because it doesn't seem like these games have evolved at all, other than adding a garbage truck full of new, dumb Pokemon. One of them is an actual garbage bag.
Okay here is the result!! I'll look into Pokemon Crystal (my friend said that was the best) and Pokemon Omega Ruby (because that Pokemon reminds me of my adult animes).

Its a shame that Mega evolutions just disappeared overnight when Gen VII released.
