If someone came up to you and said that they'd never ever played a pokemon game before, which game would you tell them to start with?
>>58835515Probably Generations 3 and 4, they were the best.
>>58835515I'd tell them to just stick to the child porn
>>58835515Pla so they’d never want to play a Pokemon game ever again.
>>58835515None because I wouldn’t feel a need to
>>58835515I would tell them to stay away from this shit ass franchise. That's what I would do.
>>58835515HGSS.I made my nephew play it first and he liked it and started playing the other games.
>>58835515Tell them to forget about any of the regular Pokemon games and play Puzzle Challenge
>>58835603This would only work if they are asian>played online once in the ds version>opponent was so damn fast he nuked my shit in 10 seconds
>>58835598Probably this. I love Platinum more, but HGSS is polished and a wider journey.Most later gens aren't bad as a first game, but it's be hard to go back to some if you start modern and want to play a variety.
>>58835515Platinum offers the best 'traditional' pokemon experience imo HGSS and Emerald are a close 2nd and 3rd in that regard. However, I'd say BW trumps all three as an RPG overall
>>58835515In every single instances i’ve seen someone mention never playing the games it’s always because they have 0 interest in them to begin with
