>>53578476I started with Sapphire so obviously I'm bias towards hoenn but I've always really really loved this route.
Its pretty long for an early route, has a dungeon in the middle, has some landmarks like the Flower shop and Mr Briney's cottage, has the games first TM in bullet seed, has memorable trainers like the rich kid and lady who use full restores, that one bitch ass youngster with the level 8 tailow, and the games first double battle. They even have the unique water tiles that cascade in the wind and the plank tiles that let you see your reflection in the water through the cracks.
It's simply OOZING with soul and gives the early game a really nice feel to it, I always enjoy starting a Hoenn play through because of just how quickly it gets to the good stuff.
