This seems like the appropriate thread.
I haven't played pokemon past Gen 3 and I didn't even beat that, but I still love pokemon. I'm replaying leaf green right now and loving it.
So here's the thing. Is it worth it to get Platinum, HG/SS, B/W, B2/W2, X/Y, and OR/AS? Like how much am I missing out on here? What I mean is that as I'm replaying leaf green the whole first 2 gyms are basically tutorials and the game doesn't really stop holding your hand until after Erika. Did they get smarter about the trainers being better? Do the pokemon not just use random moves but instead try to kill you like they ought to?
Your answers decide if I blow about a hundred bucks on some pokemon games, probably more.
I want to have fun with all the new typings and moves.
Also what's is there a difference between black and white and black and white 2? Or is B/W2 their sort of "3rd" game for that generation like Emerald was to Ruby and Saphire?
