>>27149100>From the perspective of someone who's never played it though, they're not really missing out by skipping the GBA games. The most streamlined experience starts at the DS games.I love the way some people like to talk about how others will experience things differently when they didn't.
I started to play pokemon for the first time in my life two years ago. Not underage, just never had the chance.
Started in order because I'm a /vr/ fag and want to experience the franchise the way the original players did. Even made a thread here two years ago where people helped me with some doubts.
Enjoyed Blue a lot. Crystal was a huge blast.
Played Sapphire recently (yes I'm going slow) and so far the experience was even better.
People always says that Emerald was far better (reason I played Sapphire first, to see the changes for myself) and you're telling him to skip it because according to you Emerald can only be enjoyed for the nostalgia?
No offense, but from the perspective of someone who actually is in a similar position to OP, that's just a lie.
>>27148656Do this OP, the first ones are still good even if they've aged quite a bit.
