Thread: Kanto VS Johto VS Hoenn VS Sinnoh VS Unova

I voted for Isshu, as it is just one of the best games so far, plus great Pokemon. I would have voted for Hoenn, but I thought it would either be a lost vote (I know other places where Hoenn is really unpopular) and it's just a smidgeon below Isshu in favour of which I like more.

My surprise when I saw Hoenn is winning <3

i vote sinnoh it has snow for the first time and stark mountain was fun to train in.

Johto for now. Isshu looks really cool, but I can't really judge it without playing it.

Hoenn. I liked it
s Pokémon the best, adn by far has the best storyline. It has a special place in my heart <3

Weird 700th post is weird

I voted Isshu. I liked Hoenn and Isshu equally, but Isshu's newer look won out. Now, if we ever see Hoenn like Isshu that'll change.

Hoenn. Big Gen III fanboy right here. Great, varied environments, imaginative Pokémon, fantastic music (though that's not really part of the region), a good E4, and general awesomeness FTW.

It's the word "nostalgia" that has turned me off to Tohjo forever. ._. I am so SICK of that word. fffff

Anyways, Hoenn, Shinnoh, and Isshu are my votes. I consider Kanto-Johto (Tohjo) to be one region. They're both too small by themselves otherwise.

And this:

QTF, man. Anyway...

Hoenn. Best Pokemon, best music, best environments, best villains.
Shinnoh, more best Pokemon, best music, best characters, best story, best villains, and best environments.

And Isshu. I have yet to get past Karakusa Town (since real life and job get in the way of my play time ;A; ), I can't make a full opinion yet. But I do love the music and plot so far. Yay, spoilers online!

And whoa, Hoenn as the most votes? Fuck yeah, I really can have hope about this fandom now! That, or those who grew up playing RSE are finally old enough to join the internet...

Hoenn.


Nothing can hold a candle to its general awesomeness. Not even the "new" favorite of the masses, Isshu, and the Pokeddict favorite, Kanto and Johto.

Sinnoh just sucked.

I voted Isshu, because Isshu has awesome Pokemon in my opinion. Sinnoh is a close second.

I haven't tried Isshu yet. So it's out.

Which region has the best design?
Hoenn/Sinnoh. Hoenn has a variety of environments, Sinnoh seems so balanced.

Sinnoh +5

Kanto/Hoenn. Kanto... well, it's Kanto. Hoenn... it feels so outlandish.
Kanto +5
Hoenn +5

Excuse me, but how did you calculate those points. Just wondering.

Let's make a list of what Hoenn had:
The three best starters (Blaziken's rules)
Two psuedo's (Salamence and Metagross)
Great Music
Great Scenery and pokemon
well designed characters
Hoenn actually had originality (aside from kanto, but kanto bores me)
I never really liked any other region, especially sinnoh

Hey ya'll, I voted for Unova because I'm an American and I think Unova is the American pokemon region, it's like a mixture of different locations/places in America.....for example, the white forest, it's like the sequoia national park, & Castelia city is absolutely the Big Apple and the Pokestar studios, it is hollywood. I am grateful for nintendo, because they finally made a region based on my country, USA & whenever i play pokemon black and white 1 & 2, I always feel american culture...the pokemon musical, pokestar, castelia city, nimbasa city even the pokemons and the characters themselves are american (different skin color, clothing) Go Unova!


E pluribus unum!

Which region has the best design?

Unova, I love the cities, towns and everything else.

Which region has the best Pokemon?

Well, most of my favorites are from Unova, so... Unova. Kanto comes in a close second.

Which region has the best Gym Leaders and Elite 4?

Unova definitely. The Gym Leaders in this region were more than just 'bosses', they were somewhat important to the plot.
Sinnoh comes in a close second.

Which region would win in a battle? (lol)

No idea. xD
So yeah, my vote goes to Unova. The best region <3

Hoenn for me. It was just simply the best of the best. The region itself was beautiful and had great variety in terms of terrain and settlements. The Pokemon there were instant favorites, with Blaziken, Gardevoir, Absol, Sceptile, and Glalie topping that list. The Legendary Pokemon had more of a role in the story, making it more intriguing and fun. And one major factor... IT WASN'T CONNECTED TO GOD-DAMN KANTO!!! Honestly, Kanto was so overrated. I was very sick of it by the time Crystal rolled around. I could so do without Kanto in EVERY generation. Did they have to keep rubbing it in our faces all the time? Kanto could burn off the map and I wouldn't notice.

Unova is second place, for one of the best storylines, new, creative (well, in most cases) Pokemon, and the fact it wasn't directly connected to a Japan-inspired area. Nothing against Japan, I love the place, but I was glad to have a change like this. The region was based off of NY, so that was an even bigger perk, and the story was so driven and compelling you just couldn't put it down. Still, it was a bit small, but that is probably my only real gripe about it. Johto was far smaller, so it's not that big of a deal.

Sinnoh comes in third for many of the same reasons Hoenn and Unova did, but not to the same degree. But it was nice to see snow for the first time. And a more gripping story. Plus... the GIBLE FAMILY WAS BORN!!!

Johto and Kanto... next time a Deoxys meteor comes crashing from space, please wipe out Kanto and Johto for me. Well, Kanto more than Johto, but both regions I despise a lot.

EDIT: I forgot to mention this. I found the Hoenn Gym Leaders and E4 MUCH tougher than the other regions. I even lost to the E4 in Hoenn once or twice (saving before challenging them at the start saved my hide, especially because of the Champion, Wallace). To this day, I found the Hoenn Gym Leaders to be more difficult. When I participated in the PWT Hoenn Leaders Tournament, both Tate and Liza almost cleaned my clock in the same tournament, just like the nearly did back in RSE. Somehow, I won, but it was a close call. So I feel that Hoenn was far more challenging in terms of Gym Leaders and E4, but they felt that much more rewarding when I won. So, yeah, Hoenn was the best.
