I have never played a Pokemon game in my life. What is the entry level game for this series? I want the one that is considered the best, I don't care about lore or nostalgia.

>I want the one that is considered the best
The formula hasn't changed much over time so your answer will end up being whichever one the retarded nigger you asked happened to play first.

Soul Silver

they are all entry level games. it's fucking pokemon. a 10 year old could beat the elite four without trying
i would recommend ruby/saph, heart gold/soul silver, fire red / leaf green, or diamond/pearl. just pick the one you think has the best music
the "sequel" games that take place on the same landmass are supposedly also good but i've never played one of them

the real answer is to skip all of them and play a mans game by the way

Black/White 2 or USUM. Lots of stuff and tons of varied Pokemon to get.

Honestly they're all kinda shit when it comes to the story. In which case, watch the anime instead or better yet, play any other game.

As far as gameplay goes, your best off playing a ROM hack, as the battles actual require a brain and levelling is often capped. If you must play a mainline game, I suggest any of the new ones with full team exp share, so you don't get stuck using the one pokemon who is 20 levels higher than the rest, and avoid as many battles as possible to avoid overlevelling.

Also don't listen to this retard. Soul Silver is fine until the level scaling plateaus for the second half of the game, in which the the game becomes a mind-numbing exercise of spamming A until you win.

Emerald is peak world / gameplay / feeling of adventure, Crystal is peak story and vibes

Do yourself a favor and just play Firered or Leafgreen. They're remakes of the first games. A simple experience with the most iconic region. An excellent starting point. After that it's up to you, but I'd recommend Emerald > Platinum > HGSS and you can keep going is series order of you really like Pokemon's gameplay.

>3 other people mention Heart Gold and Soul Siver
>noooo it's baaaad
Every fucking Pokemon game is spam A with your starter to win, retard. Can't expect more from some autist recommending rom hacks to a new player

I enjoyed the Blazing White romhack. Vanilla+ version of one of the most content rich pokemans.
