Hey guys. I haven't played pokemon in a crazy long time.

If you haven't played Hoenn yet, it's a good buy. Only get 1 gen 6 game though.

You should play HGSS next. Then BW->BW2

And maybe platinum

>>27633201
yes, do it

>>27633201
Yes get it. Then play Platinum, BW, BW2. In that order.

OK cool, thanks for the advice guys. One question though, why play bw/bw2/plat if they are older? Probably a really dumb question

>>27633315
Ehh different games are different experiences. They're not too different mechanically barring megas

>>27633315
It might feel weird going backwards, especially graphically, but every set of games has a few fun features.
Also, ORAS features almost entirely gen 3 Pokémon, and BW features almost entirely gen 5 Pokémon, with very few Pokémon from other generations introduced until post-game, so you'll get completely different experiences if you're not that familiar with them.

From a casual's PoV I'm sure you'll enjoy the games, but for me, ORAS were the only Pokemon games I've ever regretted buying.

>but they only had a year!
I've played many games that had just as much time in the oven or even less time (Super Smash Bros Melee for example) that were more fleshed out than ORAS
>but your only butthurt because it didn't include the battle frontier!
I can name numerous reason as to why ORAS disappointed me without so much as mention Battle.

But anyways, I doubt that ORAS will give you the same feeling as Silver, but since you're getting it for free, you might as well give it a shot.
