    These lists are always so silly, especially once you reach the top. Like why are we comparing Elden Ring, to Tetris, to Super Mario 64, and saying “one of these is definitively better than the other”.

    It’s also a weird mix of how good the actual game is, vs how big its historical legacy is. Like, as the resident pokemon fan, I will freely say this: RBY sucks. It’s not fun to play. And yet it seems to be included simply for being popular…?

      Historical Legacy is a good way to put it. For Pokemon in particular, RBY was the franchise for a lot of people, myself included. I’ve played a few of the others, but RBY is what came out when I was a kid and will always be the one I remember.
