What was the last Pokemon game you genuinely enjoyed playing?

I’m curious to know what the last Pokemon game you guys played and enjoyed and why! For instance, I know scarlet and violet seems to have left a bad taste in people’s mouths.

The last Pokemon game I played and actually had fun with was platinum with legends arceus being very close!

I played violet when it released and I tried playing it again recently but…I don’t know, it’s just not clicking. The towns feel very dead which I hate, I loved going into all the houses when I was kid 😂

Edit: after reading all these comments it seems i really need to go back and give violet another try 😅
