>>27830282i recommend this list to every newcomer.Skip Gen 1 and 2 entirely, you won't miss anything if you play these in order
-Start with FireRed or LeafGreen (remakes of the originals, far superior in every way. Don't let the nostalgia fags tell you otherwise)
-Emerald (Ruby/Sapphire done right)
-HeartGold/SoulSilver (remakes of Gold/Silver)
-Platinum (Diamond/Pearl done right)
-Black/White
-Black2/White2 (for consistancy, play black 2 if you played black and white 2 if you played white)
-X/Y
-OmegaRuby/AlphaSapphire (Optional, assumin gyou already played Emerald. You wouldn't be missing out on much besides new megas.)
