This is probably going to sound weird, but...honestly, just booting them up and getting my starter. This has been a recurring theme for me for my entire adult life: no matter what I think of the game as a package (and I have some very unflattering thoughts about the fifth and seventh, and eighth generations in particular) I have always had a little thrill when I've watched the opening title sequence, booted the game up, and got my starter. It's like I'm an excitable ten year old again with a Gameboy in my hands, Pokemon is a global sensation that everyone not out to ruin it for people just because can at least appreciate, and life just feels better. It's delightfully nostalgic, and I hope the games never lose that feeling.
