I've decided to give the Pokemon series another chance for the first time since I was a kid. Where should I begin? Most recent games, or from the first one? Are they sequels to each other or can I hop in anywhere?

honestly? don't bother.
try SMT if you really want to play a monster collecting RPG. there's little value to be found in Pokemon at this point if you don't have a nostalgic attachment.

Especially if Nintendo wins the lawsuit (which they will because Japan's courts are even more corrupt than the US courts)

Gen 1 and 2 are the only good ones. Gen 3 is playable but made by different people who started making it way more faggoty and added coomer moms like gardevoir. The rest are unplayable dogshit that you'll just be sad you wasted your life clock even checking out. Not worth even checking out Gen 4+.

Any Pokemon game is entry level (maybe minus PLA, you'd probably understand it the content more if you played some other game first, especially Platinum), so it is mostly a matter of taste.

People in the fanbase tend to be extremely hard on SV, and while it's true that they aren't polished enough and have some technical issues, I think they're easily enjoyed by someone who isn't as deep into Pokemon and hasn't played a game since childhood, or by casuals ... Unless maybe if you're otherwise a hardcore gamer who has high standards.

If you can find SV on sale, you could try playing that, just maybe it isn't worth the full price tag.

What Pokemon game/s have you played?

>Emerald
One of the better postgames, though it is a GBA game
>Platinum
Same but on the DS
>Black/White (and Black2/White2)
More story focused, and the second game is a legit sequel to the first (though getting the save data link working, so you get the post-first game cutscenes is a pain in the ass)
>X/Y
first full 3D games, they also introduce the fairy type
>Sun/Moon
shit (but the FeMC and Lillie are sexy)
>Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon
shitter (see above) but they changed the ending and added a multiversal team rocket (Rainbow Rocket) as the final story arc.
>Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee
Only decent if you like Pokemon GO, otherwise it's worse than the GBA Fire Red/Leaf Green in every aspect
>Sword/Shield
Base game sucks balls, but the DLC is 10/10
>BD/SP
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no.
>Legends Arceus
It's basically a tech demo, but it's entirely single player, so you can 100% it and get every evolution without interacting with anyone else
>Scarlet/Violet
Somehow worse than Sword/Shield, but the DLC isn't good enough to counteract how bad the base game is.

If you were to make a list of bad mainline pokemon games, then the 3D era has enough shitty games that it pushes B/W into the mediocre section. Not because B/W are good, but because they're not as bad as the newer games.

Now THAT'S some potent copium. Every fault of the 3D games can be traced back to Unova.

start at the beginning if you're a real gamer, play Yellow, then Crystal, if you're emulating then definitely hook up Stadium 1+2 to the mix cause they're the post-game for Gen1+2 respectively. Plus Gen 2 can trade back and forth with 1, so all these games just enhance each other if you play them together.
If all that's too old and inconvenient, then start at FRLG / RSE and Colo/XD and live the Gen 3 lyfe. This way you can transfer your homies from these runs up when/if you decide to check out Gen 4.
If you skipped 1+2, then definitely play HGSS as your Gen 4 game. Alternatively you could've skipped everything up to this point and just played HGSS.
If you're dying for more by now play Platinum, BW, BW2. You should be done by then. Nothing else is worth your time for sure.
Spinoff-wise, Mystery Dungeon is the only one worth checking out. There's Ranger but the gameplay is dogshit just drawing circles on your screen constantly; Rangerfags are coping.
