    Pokémon Crystal is just shy of your 25 year threshold depending on what month it was released (it came out in 2000 in Japan), so I’ll say Pokémon Yellow or Pokémon Gold and Silver. We can sit here and nitpick about which is the best, but Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, and Crystal were all amazing.

      I’d lean in favor of Gen 2 being better, but it’s definitely a tough call whether the original or the first refinement is better.

        Its really about whether GS are better than Yellow, GS are definitely better than RB. Anyone saying RB is better than any of the other GB ones is saying it for nostalgia.

          Yellow is pretty bad honestly, it’s just the novelty of being a bit more like the anime. The pokemon you can catch and what’s available for early gyms are both poor.

            That’s fair. To be honest, I never played it as a kid, so I don’t really know what’s there. I guess I always thought you could catch everything in it. I know you can get all the starters. I know in later “third games” you can’t catch everything (or in some like Platinum they added some).

            Edit: One day I’ll learn to not type “okay” instead of “play” lmao
