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.

It's also less buggy than red or blue.

Pokémon Yellow missingno with its 7 minute glitch cry would like to have a word with that.

All of Gen 1 and 2 have crazy glitches but you have to go out of your way to make them happen.

Well, they did fix some of the glitches! You've got a good point.

However, you don't have to go out of your way for some of the bugs! For instance, psychic being immune to ghost when are are supposed to be weak to it. (There are only two ghost moves so you may not notice this in a playthrough). Also, focus energy reduces your crit ratio instead of raising it.

These are definitely things a regular person could encounter in a playthrough.
