R/S/E brought the most into the game, and also had some of the best pokemon including my favorite Skitty. The idea of secret bases was good and the area looked nice, was a little lacking in lance but it had more replay value, it also had a much better opening than pokemon games. As well it was the first game to contain a character from the show, as far as I know, keep in mind I recognize Red and Ash as seperate people as ash is a little kid who can't become the pokemon master despite having such amazing pokemon, always playing silly games with team rocket and Red is a ccool guy with no life who after becoming the pokemon champion went on top of a mountain to await for someone to come battle with him, Ruby gave us the option the play as May, Platnium kept this which was pretty cool but R/S/E is what brought all this good stuff.
