What's the best mainline pokemon game to introduce someone to the franchise?

I would say maybe XY because it has 3D to appeal to normies and, while easy and a bit handholdy, nowhere near as bad as the games that come after. They would be hardpressed to get stuck.

XY for sure. They're not the best games quality-wise, but I've seen people who've never played a pokemon game pick them up and enjoy them.

XY for sure, easy and not that handholdy, they're perfect games to start with, but if that's not your forte FRLG

FRLG to introduce someone.
Barebones and to the point, and they can find much better features in future games if they choose to play more.

BW then BW2. A decent story with a small dex helps make an easy introduction, then a larger game with a big dex and lots of content as a direct sequel gets them ready for the rest of the series.
From there they can look at gen 4 and 6 and see which one they like more.

HGSS or XY
FrLG if they are familiar with kanto still
platinum and bw are great for fans of jrpgs to start, but are a bit heavy handed compared to hgss or xy and might not leave a great first impression

FRLG, LGPE (for ppl who've played GO before), XY or SwSh. They're the easiest games, are light in terms of story and content, and are good at introducing the world of Pokemon

To deviate a bit here from OP, what would be BAD mainline games to introduce a fan to the series?

I once put somebody onto the series with Platinum. Solid game to this day, with 493 classic monsters. Can’t go wrong with Platinum.

Sword and Shield. Unless they like playing older games, they’ll never see a reason to go back and experience the series at its prime.

XY, Platinum and USUM are horrible picks for a first game (regardless of their quality)

But everyone hated Gen 4 around Gen 6. Maybe Gen 4's hateability warranty was an exception.
