The 10 Best Pokémon Video Games of All Time

Since it debuted three whole decades ago, we’ve seen dozens of Pokémon games arrive on Nintendo consoles. While the main series has led the charge, those generations have inspired numerous spin-offs, sub-series, and one-shots, meaning there’s multiple fresh takes on everyone’s favourite Pocket Monsters to enjoy.

But which Pokémon games are the very best, like no game ever was? Do the original Game Boy classics still reign supreme? Have the modern, Switch-based Legends games superseded the likes of Gold and Silver? Or could a strange strategy crossover game like Pokemon Conquest steal the crown?

To answer that question, IGN’s team of resident Pokémaniacs have battled it out (with words, not monsters) to determine the very best Pokémon games. We’ve judged them all based on how well they use the Pokémon setting, their innovations to the monster-battling formula, and their overall enduring quality. Only the games that excel in all these areas can make the list, so let’s take a look at the group we’ve decided are the top 10 Pokemon games of all time.
