The Best Pokemon Games of the 21st Century
The Pokemon franchise is white hot right now thanks to Pokemon Go. More than 75 million people are playing the game on their smartphones. That’s especially impressive when you consider that Go isn’t even close to being the best Pokemon game you can play.
Wondering which Pokemon game truly is the very best? Well, wonder no more. Here’s our ranking, based on our unique Metascores, of the best Pokemon games released since the turn of the century.
The first classic Pokemon game to make our list is actually a remake. FireRed is a 2004 GameBoy Advance version of 1996's Pokemon Red. Critics responded well to its mix of classic play and upgraded graphics.
“Pokémon LeafGreen and FireRed are better games than Ruby and Sapphire. Their balance, style, and structure were the original benchmark and they remain that way.” —Jim Sterling, Destructoid
