Lemme emulate one, no romhacks pls until I finish a mainline game.

More detail: havent played a Pokemon game since the original Gold, so gen2. I hardly even know who the pokemon that are in Smash Bros are unless they were from the original 200.
I was just looking around at Heart Gold while seeing it while scrolling, and decided I'd like to download a newer game that I've missed out on.

So...where should I start? I've got about 20 years of games, if I were to pick ONE to play to get aquainted with the modern series without straying to much from the OG game formula, which one should I download?

big fan of black2/white2, it's the last and most refined of the older 2D style games, the animated sprites look good and battle animations/HP bars/etc are nice and snappy, they respect your time. there's some fun gimmicks like 3v3 battles but they haven't started adding the once-per-battle supermoves yet, it's one of the "big" gens so you have a full blown roster of 150+ new mons with a bunch of old returning mons mixed in (YMMV on this last one, a lot of new stuff also means less familiar stuff)
