It'd be easier to start with one of the DS games. If you want the "original," i'd suggest you go for Fire Red Leaf Green, because the actual original games are incredibly unbalanced (pick a Psychic type and pwn everything), but if you want to start with one the DS games, i'd start with Diamond/Pearl
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
