>>203143531st gen: I've noted that I can play the first two in three main different colors: greyscale, blue or red almost monochrome, or somewhat colored (this one is the only one with sprites colored). Pic related in order of mentioned.
As I said I'm interested in living the original experience, the problem is that I don't know which one of the three options is closer to how you played it in its original handheld and I would like to know which is more accurate to the real experience or which is better.
Also, Yellow seems to be just a version with some traits matching the anime; should I play it too after red/blue?
I've noted the character is not centered in the screen, is that normal?
2nd gen: I've seen various times how people talk here about Crystal, so almost no doubts here.
Just, it has some difference in the color scheme/graphics or am I missing something if I skip gold/silver?
3rd gen: for all I've read, Emerald seems a huge improvement of the other two, but the changes in graphics and plot seem bigger and I've seen people talking well of Sapphire/Ruby.
Should I play one of the two first and then Emerald or just go for Emerald? What do I miss if so?
Also, the remakes of the 1st gen came out between RS and Emerald, right? Do you recommend to play it before or after Emerald?
4th gen: in this case I've seen lots of people to hate DP and say Platinum was a great game and "fixed" the problems.
I guess I'll go for Platinum but I would like to know what are those "problems". Just curious.
And about the remakes of the second gen, they came out after Platinum, right? Just to be sure.
