Hi /vp/

I want to play a pokemon game but I know pretty much shit all about them.

So what is the best way to play on pc or an android phone and what is the best game to play?

Keep in mind it has to have some of the original pokemon in it as those are the only ones I know.

Also, I found out this board exists about 10 mins ago...

Start with the most recent non-remake, X/Y.

>So what is the best way to play on pc or an android phone
You can't play the most recent games on those. Get a 3DS.

If you're just coming back into the series, a good game to start with would be FireRed or LeafGreen. It's pretty much just a reskin of Red and Blue, but with more modern updates like natures and abilities.

They're a little outdated at this point, but it's a good way to restart your interest if you've been gone from the series for a while.

I guess this is the best way, like >>22488055 said there is no way of playing the new ones on the PC or android, so you might aswell play the first gen remake to see what's up since you can emulate those. You'll even get to know pokes till the 3rd gen.

You can't play XY or ORAS on anything but the 3DS, but you can emulate any other game. I could recommend platinum or fire red/leaf green.

I answered your question. Sorry that it wasn't the precise answer you were hoping for. Your sarcasm is uncalled-for.

Then don't get it just for Pokemon. The 3DS has a really great library of games outside of this franchise.

Did the OP post say 'pc or android' or do my eyes deceive me?

Of course it's going to be emulated but one would figure you lot know which ones are the good ones....

For a new player? Yes. The most modern gameplay and mechanics, with familiar Pokemon available as well. If it weren't for that last factor, which OP specifically asked about, I'd likely have recommended B/W instead.

Soul Silver if you can keep up with the asinine framerate.
Black / Black 2 are solid choices as well.

For a new player yes they are the best to play. Re-read OP's post. The recent ones are basically catered to people new to the series (which is why /vp/ hates them so much).

HeartGold is objectively the superior game. Ho-Oh fits very nicely into the storyline and lore of Johto whislt Lugia feels like it was shoehorned in at the last minute.

I see no appeal whatsoever in Heart Gold over Soul Silver.

Except Ho-Oh is completely unrelated to Team Rocket, if you call that a storyline.

I'd go with FireRed/LeafGreen. Easy to emulate and still have the spirit of the original games but with more modern mechanics. Then if you like those, go for HeartGold and SoulSilver.

The game has multiple sub-plots, duh. You are collecting badges (which has nothing to do with Team Rocket or legendaries), defeating Team Rocket (nothing to do with collecting badges or legendaries), and discovering the ancient lore of Johto (nothing to do with collecting badges or Team Rocket).

Badges or facing the league aren't subplots, they're objectives.

XY is a great starting point, it's easy so you can use lots of Pokemon, but it's the newest too so it's not missing any features. After that you can branch into other games.

None of the above, you don't get the full experience if you go with them.

Either buy a 3DS and the most recent games or go back to your MOBAs and Angry Bird
