I missed out on Pokemon as a kid, and want to get started. (beehaw.org)

On a whim, I picked up a used DS lite yesterday with the intent to play some games I didn't have an opportunity to play as a kid. I'd like to try play through as many generations of Pokemon as I can. The store I got the DS from had copies of Black, and SoulSilver so I got those, but I was wondering what games y'all would recommend from each generation that I could play on DS (or possibly switch, but I'd prefer playing mostly on the DS).

I know each generation had multiple versions, and I'm not sure if one version is much different or better than the others each generation.

For Gameboy of course red and blue. Maybe also yellow if you want too. Then you have gold and silver. And again maybe you also want to play cristal. From the Gameboy (color) generation I recommend Pokemon red and gold at least.

All the Gameboy(color) games you can play on the ds using a r4 card(there quit cheap now if you get a clone) and a emulator.

For Gameboy advance you have FireRed and leaf green. And then again a not double release emerald. For Gameboy advance I only played FireRed. It was pretty nice

Luckily you also can play the cartridge for the Gameboy advance on your ds lite. Emulation of Gameboy advance is not really possible on the ds. So you wil need to get the real games or play it on a other device.

The double release are most of the time pretty similar.
