>>52633249The path is this one
>BlueGotta have that Sandrew
>YellowFixes some bugs, and trading Pikachu to Crystal gives you the light ball
>CrystalCan get most legendaries, and many hard exclusives aren't that hard. You can inject Mareep anyway
>EmeraldIs the full version (at the time), and the Magma hideout is great for Defense EVs.
>Green LeafMainly because is the only one, in all of Gen 3, where you can have a Slowpoke.
>Coliseum/XDGood to hold your mons, mainly because you need the full Hoenn Dex 3 times to have the Johto Starters. Also, best Lugia.
>PlatinumIs the full version, adding almost 60 POKEMON THAT WERE CUT IN DP.
>Heart GoldIs a great remake, go play that instead.
>RangersMainly because of Darkrai and Mareany or whatever the blue thing's name was
>White/Black 2Mainly because of Iris and Yancy
>X or YThis is personal taste, pick what you want
>ORASGreat for Hoenn bois, but you have to accept that 3rd version and BF are never coming back
>Sun/MoonFirst taste
>USUMFor better story, but it's still stupid
>SwordBecause who doesn't like a Dog with a Sword? Ever played Dark Souls?
>VioletMainly because the Paradox versions and Ceruledge are better looking.
