>>12329588you're in for a great time, OP! Forget about Platinum, here's the priority list, in other words, play/get these games from top to bottom:
>HG/SSbc that nostalgia and it will reel you back in for good, I was in the same position as you like a year ago and have been hooked ever since
>B/W>B/W2>Platinumweakest game in the series, imo, but I enjoyed my first play-through for the most part and really liked the soundtrack. It picks up a lot as you progress through the later parts of the game
all great games, there is no such thing as a bad choice, really.
