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?

I like the gen 3 games (R/S/E) even if they suffer from the damage type issue like someone else mentioned. Also HG/SS. I've been told B2/W2 is the one Pokemon iteration that actually has kind of a good story, but I never played those.

Hg/ss are gen 4. The gen 1 remakes were gen 3 and also good.
