Third versions excluded, otherwise it'd be predictable.Assume the switch games come with the DLC.

>>58302235>GBARS easily, I can't really think of one thing FRLG do better.>DSDP have the most soul in the list but HGSS are the best value. BW are good but can't compete.>3DSAssuming they've played RS because of my recommendation, they won't get much out of ORAS, so XY.>SwitchPLA is literally the only game on Switch I'd actively recommend someone play. SV probably has the most content with the DLC, but I can't recommend it over PLA.

>>58302313>per consoleYea, fuck that. I don't really care. Little Timmy gets one game and that's it. If he wants more games, he can commit theft and armed robbery for them.
RS, HGSS, BW, XY, PLA
>>58302235>gbaMan idk. Emerald mogs ruby & sapphire hard, but firered and leafgreen kind of suck.I guess FR/LG just so they experience kanto and understand the kanto wanks GF always markets >DSAnother tough one. Black/white are great. But the johto remakes are also solid. I'd say black/white just to experience the generation. It's a fun one.>3dsSun and moon win this pretty easily. They're worse than the ultra versions, but still better than x & y and the hoen remakes.>switchLegends arceus is the best game, but scarlet and violet are the best /pokemon/ games. But diamond and pearl are also good since they missed out on the games from the ds generation.Fuck. Legends arceus, but I'd slip in scarlet and violet to them free out of pocket so they can experience the current generation of the game as well. Flaws aside, it is a fun time.
EmeraldHGSSanything after that point isnt really worth the time
>>58302235Ruby/SapphireHGSSSun/MoonLegends acreus
>>58302235>GBAProbably FRLG just because RS lacks the improvements Emerald made.>DS BW pretty easily for similar reasons as Game Boy Advance.>3DSNormally I'd say USUM because they're undoubtedly the best games in my opinion, but they technically do count as a "third version" so just base SM.>SwitchAnything that isn't BDSP or LGPE.
>>58302235>RS>HGSS (specifically HG because Lugia is an afterthought, sorry SS officers)>ORAS>PLA

>>58302253>3DS: no right answerXY or ORAS, gen VI gets too much undeserved hate, it was lackluster but it did more positive than negative, especially looking at what it came after.>Switch: SwShPLA is RIGHT there
>>58302678>RS lacks the improvements Emerald madelike what
>>58302253DP is a pretty clear wrong answer next to HGSS
>Game Boy - Red>GBA - save yer money>DS Platinum>3DS - US>Switch - VioletI have spoken.
>>58302235You should've excluded PLA from this question
GBA: RSDS: HGSS3DS: USUMSwitch: SWSH or SV
>>58302235GBA: FRLGDS: HGSS3DS: USUMSwitch: PLA
>>58303365why? not like it got more dev time or has more content like third versions do
>>58302235Excluding third versions makes it a lot harder.>GBAFRLG>DSHGSS>3DSORAS>SwitchBDSPThat way you still get to experience the first four gens in some way
>>58302235>recommendnah, just gonna rank em instead RS > FRLGDP > HGSS > BWSM > XY > ORAS
>>58302235FRLGBWSMPLA
>>58302235RS, HGSS, ORAS (Wouldn't actually recommend), LA (Also would never actually recommend).
