Pokemon Gold/Silver
Because it was the first game that made everything slightly easier without messing up the whole experience eg. You can press SELECT to get onto a bike quicker, you had much more room in youyr bag/pack thingy.
It doesn't HAVE to be the Pokemon games on the GBA.
My fave GB game has to be crystal! It had all the best elements of gold and silver but with added pokemon animations and the great new quest for suicune! loved every minute of that game...
I was 148 pokemon into it, and...
Oh. have i told this story before?
Sorry.
But I think Gold/Silver just clinches it, far better graphics, more moves, better interface, less annoying and I like the real time element. It also introduced 100 new Pokemon and still let me use my Charizard :)
Ruby on the other hand = no Charizard :( Hence haven't beaten the Elite 4 yet.
Fire Red will obviously be the best once it's released.
