I feel DPP has earned that title for the sheer amount of things that it did right including, but not limited to, Wi-fi trading and battling as well as finding a way to incorporate nearly 500 Pokemon into the game whereas RS were like "Well, screw it, nobody wants old Pokemon anyway *chucks nearly all of them out*." Sales-wise and in a sense of people actually talking about the franchise again, I would say that DP are the closest that Pokemon has come in recreating its popularity from during the RBY days, except that now the games are much more user-friendly and attractive to a casual gamer than they were back then.
The three GSC titles actually sold the worst out of the four generations; GS outsold RS but factoring in Emerald and Crystal means that RSE outsold GSC, which is painful to me because GSC is so much better than the crappy proceeding generation. And lately I've seen much more GSC hatred than I remember there ever being. Like people are so excited for GHSS so that Gamefreak can fix "ALL of the things that were WRONG" about GSC. I remember this thread on Bulbagarden after GHSS were announced that was basically "GSC were inherently bad games because of this, this, this and this" and I nearly had a meltdown reading through it because I disagreed so much. But, yeah, GSC has its equal share of haters just like Krisp and I dislike RSE or other people dislike RBY or DPP.

Plus i kind of think silver and gold was the best in the series because when you beat the first 8 gyms and elite four BOOM! it throws another 8 gym sat you and a chance to get the three birds, ho-oh if you got silver and another elite four. Then when you beat that you get to fight Ash which in my game was called red, and he is at the end of a mountain.( can't remember the name of mtn.)
