I'm wondering what, in your opinion, is the best Pokémon game. Specifically not your favourite, but the one you would show to a complete newcomer to show what the mainline series is at its best.

My personal thought would be either Emerald or HG/SS, but I admittedly haven't kept up with the series so much after Black and White 1, which I disliked the designs for and found too slow and hand-holdy.

I implore you to try Black 2/White 2. In terms of pacing, flexibility with team-building, difficulty, variety of Pokemon, post game content (especially if you still have your copy of BW1), visual style, and storytelling, I personally believe this is where the Pokémon games truly peaked.

So yeah, BW2 is my favorite, and what I consider to be the best in the series.
