Just curious. I've not played the last couple generations and there are side games I haven't played either.

If I do this, I was thinking not to reduplicate generations, so should I do the latest version of each game (FireRed, SoulSilver, etc.)?

If you're going to do that may as well play the original versions and make it like a retrospective. If you play Generation I and II on 3DS VC you can even transfer your Pokemon to Gen VII (using the cloud-based Pokebank, which has a $5 yearly fee IIRC).

I'd say do the original generations. Playing Fire Red is like playing an inferior RS, HG/SS like a superior DP, and would probably just mix things up weirdly. You wouldn't experience the Gameboy Color at all.

I'm not gonna lie, I will most likely emulate as much as possible, so it's an issue of whether new content in the remakes is worth playing for.

Well, I specifically request being named after your partner in the mystery dungeon games since it'll be extra awesome!

In that case I'd still go for the originals for the purposes of a series playthrough so it's like you are truly advancing through the generations, but if you are still craving some Pokemon afterwards (or in the future) I would definitely try out HG/SS. A fantastic remake, and I say that as someone who has the original G/S in their top 10 games of all time.

To make it even more fun, especially since this is your first time playing the later generations, at least 5 of your team members have to be from that generation, and if you like you may use one from a previous generation that you haven't used yet.

I don't suggest playing through them but if you're into Pokmon trying out Pinball or TCG wouldn't be too bad, if only for dat OST!

I find it kind of hard to advise you on the remakes, because while FRLG lack the charm of RBY and don't add that much cool stuff, HGSS is pretty amazing.

This sounds pretty good. I will definitely go for this.

Will consider Pinball if other people think it's actually worth playing. I'm not normally a Pinball guy, however.

It's a ton better than Gates to Infinity. Most people (not me) would go...

Explorers > Blue Rescue => Super > Gates

For me I'm...

Super = Explorers > Blue Rescue > Gates

Black White are good, easily top half, just a mistake or two from perfect...

Black White 2 might be better than RBY and HGSS... Just amazing amazing games.

Also add Pokemon Conquest to side games as it is the best one.

Main difference is Black City/White Forest in the postgame

Black City makes it easy to get elemental stones, White Forest has exclusive pokemon.
