Hello /vp/

I've been lurking this board for the first time today, been on here a few hours so I'm not all too familiar with your personal set of rules here.

I remembered loving Pokémon when I was about 7 years old.
Collected the cards, played the games, watched the first movie and had alot fun overall.

I'm 23 now and I'd like to enter this world again so I have a few questions.

Is the Anime still worth it considering I've missed everything since the classic Pokémon ended?

What games do you recommend?
I only played Red and Blue on my Gameboy, gave it all to my little brother at some point.

Thats about it, please don't lynch me.
