Which Pokemon Versions Should You Pick?

My guide to deciding between Pokemon versions (Gens 1-4) based on which has the better Pokemon!

I make Pokemon videos, such as Pokemon Sword and Shield content, Top 10 or Top 5 Pokemon videos, Pokemon Talk, Pokemon Meme Review, and lots more! If you're any level of Pokemon fan, subscribe for videos you're sure to love!

When I was a child: Which box cover legendary looks the coolest.

When I was a now: Whichever has the cooler looking exclusives.

[Brownie]

Pokémon gold and silver7:01
Pokémon ruby and sapphire13:10
Pokémon fire red and leaf green17:50
Pokémon diamond and Pearl 23:40
Pokémon heart gold and soul silver 28:05

The best part of Scyther was he learned the move where you couldn’t drop a Pokémon below 1HP which made him clutch for catching Pokémon IMO.

[yuumiyuki]

Mawile is useless.

Mega Evolution: I'm gonna build this man's whole career.

[rubychan]

According to this, I literally played the "worse" version EVERY TIME. lol

[ricerocketrider]

Also a very minimal difference, but worth mentioning: Ho-oh can have a held sacred ash when caught.

For Kyogre vs Groudon, Groudon is at least a great ground type to add to your team. You don't need more water types, and you might be attached to your current water type, like Swampert, Gyarados, Tentacool, Lanturn, Pelipper, Wailord, etc

Back when Red & Blue came out, most of what is considered common knowledge now, we didn't know at all. I didn't know you got to pick from the same 3 starters in both games - I just knew I wanted to use Charizard, so I picked Red version, because I assumed that was the one with Charizard.

Shiftry vs Ludicolo:
"Ludicolo is easily superior here"

*Happy Ludicolo dancing on the background music with Miror B.*

[thesnowyowl]

This would be a cool guide to have back in the early 2000's. I always pick the version that has colder hues to it's coloring

[GrrumpyPants]

Kyogre also gets to combine its weather boost with STAB, making its waterspouts truly devastating.

"Persian was a top tier pokemon"

Me:So that's why Giovanni had a Persian.

[lfztomwes]

What I Chose-
-Fire Red (Didn't play RBY)
-Crystal (and Heart Gold)
-Emerald (and Omega Ruby)
-Platinum (Didn't play BDSP)
-White
-Black 2
-Y
-Sun (and Ultra Moon)
-Sword
-Scarlet

Ho-oh holds a very useful item, if all your Pokemon faint, it revives all team members and restores there stats. Basically a mobile Pokemon center.

[notvex]

gen 1:Screw yellow get red or blue (or FRLF like a sane person)
Gen 2-4:Just buy the enhanced version

5-8:idk just buy the color you like more

[EvyDevy]

"Virtually everyone's who played a Pokemon game has had to choose between one version of another."

*Laughs in Gamecube side games*

[LegionIscariot]

I hate the business practices of the Pokemon games.

[owenaspinall]

For Sableye vs Mawile, an extra perk of Sableye is that I think Brawly literally can't hit it, so you can cheese his fight.

[skylarlee]

I'm still wondering why Golduck isn't psychic type, _it deserves it._
