>>57747270Also to note, the order is basically in generation/release order, if you want some "play only the best games" order you'd have to look elsewhere since most faggots here will tell you to only play one game since everyone hates Pokemon here.
For me for each region I'd say this
Kanto: FRLG are the best versions easily. Only play RBY if you want to experience the originals in all its buggy glitchy glory. Also play Yellow instead of Red/Blue if you're going to. Only play LGPE if you just can't get enough KANTOOO
Johto: HGSS are by far the best. Gold/Silver/Crystal are just outdated and the remakes include the Crystal bonus content anyway. Only play the originals if you can't get enough Johto.
Hoenn: It might be the Hoennfag bias in me but both Emerald and ORAS are worth playing. If I could only pick one I'd pick Emerald. It's so much better than Ruby/Sapphire originals. ORAS are reimaginings of Ruby/Sapphire that make it not just a remake and different enough from Emerald to warrant playing. I'd say play both, only play the original Ruby/Sapphire if you can't get enough Hoenn
Sinnoh: Platinum blows Diamond/Pearl out of the water, the remakes are way too faithful to Diamond/Pearl and aren't reimagined versions like ORAS were, so they're not worth playing in my opinion unless you adored Sinnoh. If you play both Platinum and BDSP don't bother playing Diamond/Pearl
