If you want to do it the most authentic way for a North American...
1: don't play the games yet
2: watch the anime first, up til the Exeggutor episode
3: Play Blue or Red.
4: Beat it, and then look up the secrets/glitches of the games and do the missingno trick (don't look this up yet)
6: read the entire Electric Tale of Pikachu manga
5: finish the first season of the anime
7: play Pokémon Snap
8: play Gold or Silver
9: you can lose most interest after this

I think everyone goes through this kinda malaise. I smoke pot before playing vidya now, having a fresh burst of dopamine in the brain totally does the trick for getting into the gaming mood.
