Ok, so Im one of those rare gamers that has never played a Pokemon game. I really dont know anything about it other than Pikachu and the catch phrase "Gotta chach'em all". I think I was a little to old for it when its popularity was at its peak. My younger brother-6 years younger, was really into it for awhile, even collecting cards and trading and all that good stuff. But I never got into it.

However the current Pokemon GO craze really has me intrigued. Its not even available officially in my country yet, but people are all over it. i'm not the kind of person to "cheat" to play early. So when it is available, id like to get it but i thought i should play a Pokemon game first so I get the general idea of what Pokemon is all about.

So my question to you is what game should i play first? I'm the kind of person that always likes to play the first game in the series first. But i believe the first Pokemon game was on the game boy and I worry that if I play that, due to the basic nature of gamboy games (black and white graphics and such), I'll quickly lose interest.

What is considered the best game in the series and what would you suggest I play first as an entry to the series?

Thanks
