Which Pokemon to play first?

I think those don't hold the originals as the best pokemon games in the franchise were too young to ever experience it. They were probably exposed to the later generations first.

The originals are by far the best and the most charming. Gold & Silver are amazing as well basically an upgraded version of the originals plus 100 more pokemon. Ruby & Sapphire were good as well. Then the franchise began to get a bit stale. 

It's been said before in this thread and it's already been debunked.

I for one can say I started Pokémon with Blue, and I too believe it is very outdated and nowhere near as good as it's successors.

Debunked? I don't know about that.

I'm not saying the new generations are bad, far from it.

I just think the original three generations (Red/Blue, Gold/Silver, Ruby/Sapphire) were by the best, and we have Red & Blue & Yellow to thank for that. If you think they're outdated there's always the remakes/remastered versions.

As the generations went on, a lot of filler pokemon were added, became a little more overwhelming, etc.

The originals had the best charm & most magic, just the right amount of pokemon, and it was at a time when Pokemon was new, fresh and at the pinnacle of the of the hype of the franchise.
