I actually enjoyed playing Black&White for a period of time. Until I lost the entire DS which I cant remember where I lost it.
Generation 1 (Red/Blue/Yellow/etc)
Generation 2 (Gold/Silver/Crystal/etc)
Generation 3 (Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald/etc)
Generation 4 (Diamond/Pearl/Platinum/HG&SS/etc)
Generation 5 (Black&White 1&2/etc)
Generation 6 (X/Y/OR/AS/etc)
Generation 7 (Sun/Moon/etc)
I grew up with emerald being the first game I fully understood (Non-native english speaker here). So it might be a bit of nostalgia filter but torchic and friends always stayed in my heart.
Silver is amazing as well, started playing with cindaquill last year and my he's unstopable haha

I grew up starting with Pokemon Ruby with 600 hours. I really like how HGSS is the closest to getting the perfect Pokemon game with multiple regions, but it could be improved due to the grind needed after the Elite Four.
My first ever game was Pokemon Red. I enjoyed that thoroughly, especially the Missingno. parts.
I found that Crystal was the most fun thereafter, because the legendary beasts were actually HARDER to catch (which made it more suited to legendary)
Does that make sense?
Crystal was quite fun, to be able to move across two regions.
Gen 3 (Sapphire) has been by far my favorite Pokemon game and the one I have spent the most time in.
I loved the pokemon contests and hidden bases. It felt entirely different in the best way from the generations before.
I grew up with emerald. But somehow Platinum giving me much more nostalgia. My favourite pokemon also comes from platinum generation.
I grew up playing pokemon crystal. I love this game.
I also played a lot of ruby and sapphire.
For some reason playing platinum makes me very nervous �?
I consider myself a Pokemon fan, but I don't even recognize Gen 4+ as Pokemon.
Overall gen 2 and gen 7, as far as the pokedex and the region goes.
My favorite overall main game is gen 6 though. I don't really have beef with any particular gen cept 8.
