/vr/ - Retro Games

start with:
>fr/lg, gen 1 except it doesn't suck arse balance-wise and not full of shitty glitches, keep in mind though you'll be missing out on the rad gb aesthetic
or
>emerald, combines the best elements of old-school pokemon with more content and great designs
then play crystal (or hg/ss if you can find a physical copy, keep in mind though they've shot up hard in price), either the rescue team or explorers mystery dungeon games, then platinum
then go back and play any of the gen 1/2 games that still interest you
the problem is with this series it's either:
>bad mechanics, but good world design and pacing
>good mechanics, but fucking terrible world design and pacing
