I want to play a game. The rules are simple: you pick three Pokemon games, let's call them your top 3, and put them in order. Give a solid reason for why the first is your favorite, and everyone will try to guess where you started playing Pokemon. To get us started mine are

>Pokemon Soulsilver
>Pokemon Platinum
>Pokemon Yellow
I love Soulsilver for the sheer amount of gameplay it happens to have. Between the amount of locales, content that wasn't in the original gen 2 games as well as things like the Pokeathalon (best form of contest) I spent tons of time playing and just about 100%ing it.

Have fun I will confirm when someone gets it right.
