Introducing a new person!

why the fuck would you start with gen 1.

Play Emerald or X/Y next, the rest have flaws for a new player to play

Go to HGSS next. They're widely received as the pinnacle of the franchise and they'll continue the canon running from the gen 1 game that you guys would've just finished

No

That's true -- the idea was to introduce her to the same roster she's familiar with. But hey, they get better!

XY seems solid, though I'm restricted to emus for the moment.

>>27821703

Oh, great idea and spin! She's listened to some HGSS music on YouTube music and loved it.

this desu, it emulates well enough on toaster hardware and while I guess it can get a little grindy I found it pretty enjoyable nonetheless, graphics are also pretty good too

Good order for a beginner
FRLG
HGSS
Platinum
BW
BW2
XY
ORAS

>>27821645
Honestly, if she's playing Gen 1 and genuinely enjoying it, why NOT go in chronological order? They get progressively better as the series goes on, and that's better than the alternative, which is starting with the absolute best, as some people have suggested, and having it be all downhill from there.

And since it's clear the has a tolerance for slow, GB-era games, there's no harm in going at it from the beginning.

>>27821645
I introduced my Fiancee to FR first, then moved onto HG as the follow on.
Doing SuMo next. No idea which game we would've done otherwise.

If she has tolerance and enough interest to play through all the games in chronogical order and then sm without getting tired, do that. Otherwise just play emerald, plat/hgss, and bw2.

Eh, point. Still, though. For someone who's not a bitter genwunner, the consistent gen-to-gen upgrade in graphics, introductions of new mechanics, monsters, and side features can generally only possibly be a good thing.

Chronological order.

Platinum?

Is there any extensive guide on emulating pokemon games on pc for total dumbasses like myself?
Like which emulator I need for each version, how to setup one etc.

Okay, so I'll see if actually going through it all is appealing for her, if so, cool. If not, I think HGSS would be next and I could just show some vids and songs from gen2.

>>27822279
Normie af! Coincidentally, Normal is my least favorite type. Good dubs mai dewd.

>>27822280
Will screencap this post and mull it over! Thanks.

>>27822341
Very patient, and generally for an hour at a time. Also, that's where my thinking was before this thread, for sure.

>>27822364
I hope the experience is great so far! FRLG seems like another great place to start. And those drums!

>>27822379
Is BW2 better overall than BW?

So far, I definately think Gen4 (Plat or HGSS, likely latter) is next, then BW1/2, then Gen 6.

Thank you all so much, so far!

OP here. My OldBoy works great as GBC for my old spare Galaxy s3 mini. Emuparadise used to be good, and I don't much remember where I source my ROMS from. Little piece-by research is great!
