... Wow.

I have never seen Kaga this angry before... o_o
It would scare me if not for the fact that it's basically fan-freaking over pokemon. :hehe

Note: Even though these are all quoting Kaga, half of these are meant to add on to pokemon advice for Books.

[quote=Kaga]Your options are:

-Ruby/Sapphire
-Emerald
-Firered/Leafgreen
-Diamond/Pearl
-Platinum
-Heartgold/SoulSilver
-Black/White
-Black2/White2[/quote]

My suggestions would be one of the following:
 
-Firered/Leafgreen
It's the closest to the original/start of pokemon who can get on a DS Lite. It's a very well designed and put together game, and probably the most friendly to new people also.

-Heart Gold/Soul Silver
It's mechanics are basically smoothest/best polished of all the games. 
(Minus Black & White... But that has the pokemon design issue. On top of that the majority of Black/White's pokemon are built for simply heavy damage, you barely get a variety of strategy in it as a result).

Plus it's in Johto, the second region/generation which is also a fair start (It's where I started playing pokemon, I was an original Gold kid).
And has the kicker of letting you explore Kanto too, so it in a sense has twice the content that other games do.

-Emerald
Beaches. This is basically Firered/Leafgreen but with different pokemon, a beach themed region and two criminal organizations.
Also being a joint game you have access to more wild pokemon and legendaries than you would otherwise.
Pick this one if you'd rather be in a beach themed game.

+The newest pokemon games are a recreation of Emerald/Ruby/Saphire. So if you want to relate to most regions, pokemon, gym leaders etc with friends currently playing on a 3DS this may be your best shot.

[quote=Kaga]I've actually never played Black2/White2 but I hear they're actual proper sequels or something, so you probably shouldn't go to them if you haven't played the original Black/White.[/quote]

It is. You'll be fairly lost playing it without playing the originals.
And honestly? The original is far better story wise, Black2/White2 does at least fix the wild pokemon though by throwing in pokemon from more generations.
My main three were Ampharos, Arcanine and Lucario in that game.

So do I.

(Hopefully this works like Pepper Spray). :cool

[quote=Kaga]This is why I shouldn't have started watching Sherlock.[/quote]

Do you like it? What do you think? Isn't Sherlock basically awesome!? :sun
