Making the game is Masuda's fault. If you hate the game, you can blame him for making several shit games in a row like GS, RS, DP and BW

ignore all the other bullshit in this thread. here’s the real complete comprehensive guide:

start with playing Red or Blue. doesn’t matter which. don’t play yellow, it changes things to be more like the anime.

if you’re satisfied, you can stop there. but if you want more, then play Crystal next. it’s a direct sequel to RB. you can even transfer your gen 1 team up and keep using them, but I wouldn’t do this until after the credits roll.

skip gen 3, for reasons I’ll explain later. for gen 4, play Platinum.

gen 5 has two pairs of games. play Black or White, then stick with the same version for Black 2 or White 2. and use Memory Link for the full experience. and personally, I like to wait a month or two between the games.

gen 3 was skipped earlier because it’s very similar to gen 4, but with less refinement. so you don’t miss much by skipping it. there’s Emerald’s battle frontier, but I’m assuming you’re a casual player who won’t be doing that anyway. and you’ll still get the chance to go to Hoenn, because the gen 3 remakes are the best way to experience gen 6.

don’t play any of the later games, they’re all terrible.

with all that said, here’s the order you should play the games in:
RB>Crystal>Platinum>BW>ORAS>BW2

and if you can play through all of that without getting burnt out, call your shrink and see about getting an autism diagnosis.

>what would be the best game to play first?
Any of these listed below, choose based on preferred handheld:
>and then what games in sequence after that?
The others (the ones with arrows are sequels):
>FireRed & LeafGreen (GBA) -> HeartGold & SoulSilver (NDS)
FR/LG are remakes of the original Red & Blue, and HG/SS are Crystal remakes
>Emerald (GBA)
Enhanced version of Ruby & Sapphire
>Platinum (NDS)
Enhanced version of Diamond & Pearl
>Black & White (NDS) -> Black 2 & White 2 (NDS)
Note: Only Pokémon that were brand new at the time, #495~#646, can be found in BW 1 before you beat the main story

Or maybe these:
>Red & Blue (GB) -> Crystal (GBC)
>Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl (NSW)
Diamond & Pearl remakes if you prefer something modern, although they lack the additions from Platinum and don't look really pretty for a Switch game
>Scarlet & Violet (NSW)
Decent games, especially when running on a Switch 2, but they're a different experience from the classic games listed above

I personally consider the Pokémon Legends good, but their gameplay are really different from the mainline games (and from each other, for that matter)
If you can pirate, I'd recommend hackroms that make all Pokémon catchable without changing the games too much, but I'm not familiar with them to recommend one.

Nta but Sun and Moon are good for battles and have a decent story but are pretty suffocating in terms of handholding. If you ask me you should start with Gen 2 if you’ve only ever played Gen 1, then work your way up from there. I’m of the opinion most Pokémon games from the first 5 generations are great and worth playing. BW and their sequels are quite good as well though, and you’ll be fine enough playing those games out of order since they’re a bit of a soft reset, but otherwise I’d recommend playing each generation in order

Emerald, Platinum, BW and BW2, HGSS, theyre all good. Pokemon is a lot like Dragon Quest where it sticks to its guns and follows an if it aint broke dont fix it type of mindset and the gba ds era is a good example whereas after that they started to get lazy with it, just hop into them and expect a fun romp with mons and youll be happy

>As for the Kami, I don't know if they're originally from Sinnoh and for some reason moved to Unova while Enamorus stayed behind, or if they're constantly migrating across the planet.
Unova has a lot of unexplained connections to sinnoh so probably the former. Other strongly japan inspired designs like Zoroark, Bisharp, Samurott, and hell even the box legends leads me to believe BW were originally meant to serve as sequels to DPP similar to what GSC was for RBY

Masuda games generally seem to be really bad at actually showing character depth. They tell you everything and have to tell you the story directly but they never actually apply it. HGSS feels like the first time they ever tried to make the Gym Leaders feel like people and not boss fights, which was something FRLG wanted to do but failed miserably due to dumping it into a useless, unfun Wiki item called the Fame Checker while HGSS outright shows you the Gym Leaders doing daily things out of their Gym. It definitely went to influence how BW were written, but then they reverted back on that in XY

As for Silver, they probably intended him to be Giovanni's son in GSC, but because of the issue I said how Masuda games are bad at showing, they never tell you the truth. At the very least they SHOW you his character development, which is better than even some later games, but it took FRLG having the Rocket Admin say Giovanni's kid has red hair where it became obvious what the intent was

Quoted By:

Shudo's Ash was wildly popular, that's undeniable. It's after Shudo left and Yuyama's autism took over that the ashnime took a nosedive.

Ever since the Paul fiasco and the even bigger BW fiasco Ash became a meme. Some people briefly recovered the faith during XY, but then Alain happened and Ash was doubled down as a meme. At that point it had been almost 20 years and almost everyone who remembered early Ash fondly has already moved on in life, leaving only retards and spergs, some of which are still sperging around even today, almost a decade later. You know who.

So yea Ash is both very popular (Shudo era) and a complete joke (post DP). Even former fans pointed and laughed ("lmfao he's still around?") when Ash made a headline in normie media once in a blue moon.

He had such a long ride because of a couple of senior directors' autism and because of Japan's retarded corporate culture nobody dared to contradict them. Even Ishihara wanted Ash gone since at least DP (as per Teraleak documents) but still didn't do a move, maybe because he didn't have strong feelings or because nips consoom and the Pokémon money print machine was unaffected by the now recurring anime fiascos and the constant viewership decline.

Now audiences have changed and few people watch HZ, but also few people (maybe even fewer, I'm not sure) watched Journeys. Kids now have the attention span of a kitten and only watch 30 second tiktoks. Maybe Pokémon should drop anime altogether and focus in projects like Paldean Winds etc. Or grow a pair and make a proper anime targeted at teens/young adults. HZ gives me the feeling the creatives really wanted to make that step and the suits didn't allow it.

>yajima was a self-inserter
Yajima or Yuyama? I know Yuyama was the reason Ash was forbidden from winning a League, but I'm not sure what was Yajima's role in the whole debacle.

This is like when the BW ashnime was flopping so hard they had to bring back Cynthia, but Pokemon has fallen so low since then that now Ash works as engagement bait.

They’re going to make an Unova Legends and you all are going to be like “Wow GF finally made a good game! Thanks for the sacrifice PLA Z-A cucks KEK” and it’s literally just going to be a Pokemon legends game like the rest.
You don’t like Pokemon, you just like BW.

>You sound like those losers who couldn't enjoy BW because it used sprites
You think I'd hunt pokemon in gen 4 and 3 if I didn't like sprites? It's my favourite gens.
There was artistry behind it. Now the games look like dogshit and they still don't have voices. It's embarrassing.
I'm not a graphics nerd, I don't need realistic graphics and something extreme, I just want the same level of artistry the old games had.
>>58760521
Maybe you're right, this is a more convincing argument. As I said, I too would prefer if all pokemon were in the games, it just isn't a big issue for me.
>>58760525
But you see, I hated the fucking minigames and I hated how you were forced to partake in them if you wanted certain pokemon or items and such.
I just care about the basic gameplay loop. Catching, battling and narrative. I don't give a shit about your stupid poke athletes, contests, battle tower, game corner or whatever.

Dexit is a gameplay issue if you play Pokemon like a pet sim. It's no different than Nintendogs omitting your favourite breed. If you just want to raise and play with a Chihuahua, and it's not in the game, then it drastically impacts gameplay.

>That gives you a reason to care about the ones you don't normally use
Already do that. Turns out you can chew gum and walk at the same time. I don't need to be forced to use new mons, and having new favourites doesn't make the old ones obsolete. You know this already, we all know that this. It worked for 20+ years and it was a good thing. Even when we got 150 new mons in BW, they still included the other 493 for the post game.
