| spemanig said: I'd start with Platinum. It's the oldest Pokemon game that still retains the most unchanged battle system. It's also the best. Great, epic story. Good world building. Good Pokemon. Fun and interesting characters. A ton of content throughout the region both during and post game. Most interesting region geographically by far, second only to HGSS Johto. I would advise against XY though. It lacks all the charm of the older games and the story is terrible and the characters are terrible. I feels like you're playing an episode of Barney, which is not the impression anyone playing Pokemon for the first time should get about the entire series. |
I agree completely. X/Y left a bad taste in my mouth, I would advise against starting there.
However, if you like the demo and want a new 3DS games, OR/AS shouldn't be too bad as it seems a little less easy and the region is more interesting. The story is also slightly less annoying, at least in my opinion. You also get the Delta Episode, which is nice.
