Japanese students rank the most interesting Pokemon games

During the 90′s, Nintendo started a revolution with a certain video game series known as Pokemon and it has touched the hearts of many boys and girls ever since.

For some people, Pokemon will always be part of their childhood and have continued playing the game even into the sixth generation. What started out with just 150 way back in Blue and Red version now goes up to 718 in the new X and Y games.

My Navi Student has recently asked Japanese students and prospective employees aged 19-29 years old which Pokemon game from the first gen to the sixth did they find the most interesting or played the most. Here are their results:

Top 10 Most Interesting:

10/9- Pokemon Soul Silver: 4.5%

10/9- Pokemon Blue: 4.5%

8- Pokemon Ruby: 5.6%

7- Pokemon Sapphire: 8.6%

6- Pokemon Yellow: 8.9%

5- Pokemon Crystal: 12.0 %

4- Pokemon Leaf Green: 14.5%

3- Pokemon Red- 17.0%

2/1- Pokemon Gold: 22.8%

2/1 Pokemon Silver: 22.8%

Top 10 Most played:

10- Fire Red: 14.2 %

9- Pokemon Black: 16.4%

8- Pokemon Ruby: 26.2%

7- Pokemon Blue: 26.5%

6- Pokemon Sapphire: 28.4%

5- Pokemon Crystal: 33.4%

3- Pokemon Leaf Green: 51.5%

3- Pokemon Yellow: 51.5%

2- Pokemon Gold: 52.1%

1- Pokemon Silver; 53.5%

From Gold and Silver’s game which extends after becoming champion to Red’s genre-defining moments, it seems like Japanese fans have found the older versions more interesting to play. A lot of respondents have also listed played the older games more than the newer ones.

Pokefans who responded to My Navi Student’s online questionnaire revealed that they have been playing Pokemon since they were at the age of seven and that their dreams at that time? Becoming a Pokemon Master of course!

So, which version of the classic game do you find most interesting?
