I think every Pokemon game is somewhat worth playing even up to now.
One thing I love about the series is that it always does something different even now.
From the slimy urban underground of Kanto to the chilled out countryside of Johto, Hoenn's fantastical adventure vibe and Sinnoh's more swampy and ragged locales.
None of the games really feel like rethreads despite the series often getting accused of regurgitating the same content over and over again.
Kalos was obviously a big showcase game for Pokemon so the region is very focused on aesthetics - glitz and glamour are what's valued most.
In Alola it's very focused on culture so you spend a LOT of time speaking to all the different inhabitants of the region.
And in Galar the whole thing is ostensibly about consumerism, with a heavy focus on image and marketing and PR with stuff like sponsors, trainer cards and just Pokemon and gym leader merch everywhere.
Obviously some of these are gonna resonate more with some players than others but I think it's commendable that Pokemon never really settled into a groove of what its games should feel like.
