Lemme emulate one, no romhacks pls until I finish a mainline game.

More detail: havent played a Pokemon game since the original Gold, so gen2. I hardly even know who the pokemon that are in Smash Bros are unless they were from the original 200.
I was just looking around at Heart Gold while seeing it while scrolling, and decided I’d like to download a newer game that I’ve missed out on.

So…where should I start? I’ve got about 20 years of games, if I were to pick ONE to play to get aquainted with the modern series without straying to much from the OG game formula, which one should I download?

    heartgold/soulsilver are pretty good reimaginings/remakes of gen 2 if you want something kinda familiar

    or firered/leafgreen for gen 1 but in the gen 3 engine

    if your system can run switch games then scarlet/violet has problems, but is a pretty fun game in the newest pokemon formula

    otherwise i would say maybe ultrasun/ultramoon for something new-ish with a different formula to the older games, though there is a lengthy tutorial which i personally found very annnoying

    or my personal favorite is let’s go eevee, but that is also on the switch
