most iconic moment in a pokemon game? for me, my first step on route 26

top 20 in order would be: Route 26 Battle Frontier Brain battles Red battle Volo battle Wally's victory road battle Ultra Necrozma Cynthia battle Pokémon World Tourrnament final battle Deoxys battle in ORAS Ho-oh/Lugia intro in HGSS Kieran's final battle Steven battle Lillie's rainy cutscene BW Elite 4 B2W2 Champion battle Undella town's Cynthia battle Zinnia battle Distorsion world Sada/Turo battle RBY Champion battle

@Shinobufag@miniwa.moe i beat brock with all not very affective

@Shinobufag@miniwa.moe hoenn route 120, tapu koko mid credits fight, fireworks at parfum palace catching rayquaza at the top of that tower too

@tlapka@ak.kawen.space what made route 120 special for you?

@Shinobufag@miniwa.moe it's a long and wide route you get to explore and the weather changes as you go and there's the hidden kecleon encounters and several cool secret base hideouts just loved that exploration aspect, feels really cool as you're at a point of the game where you really can manage to get through the different tall grass spots and trainer fights and feel good about it pokemon should be like that more often

@aetios@sns.minovsky.space @tlapka@ak.kawen.space There aren't any routes left in the first place, unless you're talking about Sword and Shield, where the game is less than 10h long including cutscenes because of how small and empty the region is.

@Shinobufag@miniwa.moe @aetios@sns.minovsky.space I thought the hike to Medali was cool as I went up a mountain and through some caves and then floated down and THEN I found out I could've just followed a path from Cascarrafa

@tlapka@ak.kawen.space @aetios@sns.minovsky.space That's the fun exploration part in SV, everyone having a different experience going through paldea, issue being that it's mostly empty in the base game. Kinda wish it felt more populated and had more side content.

@aetios@sns.minovsky.space @tlapka@ak.kawen.space hey i liked it
