Main Series:
Either White or Emerald
White has a great story with great characters and Emerald's story just flows extremely well with me.
Spin-offs:
PMD2: Explorers of Time
Great and impacting story + really good dungeon crawler.
I'd have to say crystal, since it was the first game I played when I could finally understand the majority of the game. Like with previous games, my reading capabilities weren't the best since I was a little kid and all. Also Crystal started the choice as playing a female, and it also has one of my favorite designs for a female trainer.
I had a blast playing Black 2 and SoulSilver. In SS I loved having your pokemon walk behind you. Plus I really loved the music in that game. A lot of it just made me grin from how amazing it was. Black 2 was fun because of the story, and because it was the first gam where I actually planned my team out and am happy with every pokemon I picked.
Diamond deserves a mention because it was my first Pokemon game and I did have tons of fun playing it. :)
Look Forward, Team Rocket!
Also I claim Piplup in the Claim a Pokemon thread =)
my top 3 are pokemon yellow,soulsilver/heartgold, and pokemon white/black
i loved my yellow game because i had pickachu..and it reminded me of the anime so much..and i liked the anime back then.
and then soulsilver and heartgold, basicly the same to me, may just be remakes of the crastal, but i love having my pokemon follow me around which was a huge deal to me., and i've always loved the story in that game, old or new, so i enjoyed it quite a bit,
then pokemon white/black was very nice, loved the new battle graphics and graphics in general, plus the design for the girl was better then the last game..and N was awesome, however i think graphics aren't everything..the plot felt rushed to me..like not enough of team plasma..which is why i'm looking forward to w/b 2 , but they also didn't have the pokemon following you anymore which made me feel lonely compared to soulsilver.

Probably a bit odd to hear, but Platimun and Pokemon Battle Revolution. My first Pokemon game was Leafgreen, but Platinum was the first one that truely made an impact on me. It was when I first learned about the competitive meta-game and how to EV train and breed IVs.
Pokemon Battle Revolution is also one of my favorites because it was the only way I could play online at the time because my parents didn't like the ideal of lowering our secruity setting just so I could play a handheld online. I liked the random Wi-Fi and beatting standard OU teams and Uber n00bs with my unconventional teams, (Hail team FTW) and I had some very epic battles on it.
Spin-off wise my favorite game would be PMD:Explorers of Sky. I like the story, and it's sound track is by far my favorite sound track of any video game ever. The fact that I can select two of my favorite Pokemon (Riolu and Vulpix) to be the main protagonist was also a really great bonus too.

A three-way tie between Emerald, Platinum, and White 2. Emerald combines what was great about Ruby/Saphire and blends it to together to form a great masterpiece of a game. I LOVED the contests. In Platinum, exploring the Distortion World was breathtaking, the corruption flowing about, time having no meaning, limitless space...and being able to walk on walls was fun, too. White 2 (and Black 2) brought Join Avenue, almost unlimited training opportunities, 300 Pokemon for the taking, and music that feels so awesome to battle along to.
What you see isn't always what you get.
The game I had the most fun playing was Black 2, with Gold right behind it. I've just beaten Black 2, and now I am doing all the post game stuff, like working my way through the Battle Tower to face Benga, fighting Colress for his Master Ball, and trying to get that Kyurem!
