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.

Another fellow here who didn't get into pokemon as a kid. I had a gameboy, but never got a pokemon game for some reason :/

For original entries in GBA/DS realm I'd play the third version (emerald & platinum). With remakes or gens without the third version, I wouldn't stress too much about what to buy.

If you're buying legit carts, then just get the one that you can find for a good price. Alternatively if a game has version exclusive pokemon that you really like, get that one.
