I have always immensely liked Johto, not only for the fact you could also go back to Kanto in the game, but for the pokemon I liked immensely and the starters I loved etc.
Second to that would be either Kalos or Hoenm, Hoenn being for the diving part mainly... I loved the diving sooooo much XD. I think Hoenn wins :V.
For me it would probably be... Johto>Hoenn>Kalos>Kanto>Sinnoh>Unova

Can't comment on Kalos yet cause didn't play the game yet. Can't comment much on Unova because I got bored 30 minutes into the game and stopped playing.

For me it's probably:

Johto > Kanto > Sinnoh > Hoenn

Played in Sinnoh and Hoenn only once, but while Sinnoh never bothered me, I stopped playing Emerald in the middle for some reason and only 2 a year later I finished the game, so something probably annoyed me.

I will give both Sinnoh and Hoenn (first half at least) this. Playing in them felt like an adventure thanks to their more exotic locations.

I do have to agree with manga about Kanto. I tried my first Nuzlocke there. So so frustrating. Maybe it was due to inexperience, but my Nuzlocke in Crystal felt much more easy and fun in comparison.

The difficulty slope in GSC and the remakes is significantly gentler than almost any other game, because it was fitting in two regions and two separate League runs. As such, it generally comes off easier to play and nuzlocke, at least at first. I think the originals have a harsher difficulty spike after you unlock Kanto than the remakes do, although Red is more powerful in the remakes than the originals.

Skipping Black now and playing Black 2 because that Black City feature was so frustrating. :| Also, Zorua and Pokemon World Tournament! \o/ So excited to fight the old gymleaders again. Although I did just play SoulSilver. XD

And yeah, the WFC isn't working anymore. Learned it the hard way. Psssh.

Johto > Kanto > Hoenn > Sinnoh

I'm more attached to Hoenn than Sinnoh because I played Emerald for like three years repeating over and over with different starters because it used to be my only GBA game. :x

I didn't realize that the pokeball-pattern Vivillion was being distributed in Europe O_O I'm glad I found that out today, since it ends tomorrow...

That's one of those things you need the 3DS to connect to the internet for, right? Because mine still can't do that other than the shop so :-\.

yeah, sorry stoppy...
I can ask my friend if she can clone one for you, if you want?

Did you check your wifi settings btw? My wifi blocked access to most functions as well but works fine when I disable certain things

Thanks for the offer, but it just somehow worked :o. Going to see if I can get the other internet things up now.

And the settings check out, but from I've looked into on it in the past it seems likely to be a firewall thing (which my dad isn't exactly going to edit, especially if I can't give him exact port numbers). Not sure what it says about that that I can somehow access things atm, but I'm going to take advantage of it while I can ^^ :x.

EDIT: Though, out of interest, what sorts of things do you disable?

EDITEDIT: Alas, my luck doesn't stretch as far as the PSS stuff.

I disable a setting in the firewall under the intrusion detection part called SPI and Anti-DoS firewall protection. It checks how high the level of activity is. Apparently trading is too complicated and needs too much space for it to go through without the router deciding it's an intrusion.

Apparently America has a Diancie event that starts on the 27th of October. I like the gesture, but I live in Europe, not America, silly Pokemon company :P.
That's one birthday present I probably won't receive XD.

Hoping they'll give us the event later, like they did with the pokeball vivillon. :x

Wait really?

I am much more excited about this than the Diancie event! XD (Though I do need Diancie for pokedex completion purposes. Only missing that one and Shaymin.)
