What should my first game be?

Just made an account here. For one question to possibly veteran pokemon players.

Hey, I'm a 15 year old, and even though me and my friends always traded pokemon cards, watched the tv show and were hooked on pokemon back in the early to middle 2000's, I have never owned a pokemon game:p. I've tried some game on a friends gameboy advance many years ago but other than that I've never really played pokemon, so I've decided to get a pokemon game myself:D

But there's a tonne of games made and it seems kind of late to start playing pokemon as I didn't really start while pokemon was blowing up, so which of all the pokemon games should I get? please help:)

Hey Pokeo! Welcome to PC. :D It's quite surprising you haven't played a Pokemon game yet but we'd love to give you some pointers. Unfortunately this type of post would fit more in Pokemon Gaming Central's Quick Questions thread, so I recommend reposting there. The Welcome Lounge is primarily a place to greet new members than answer questions. I'd move it to that thread for you, but as I do not moderate Pokemon Gaming Central I'm unable.

Good luck, all right? I'll close this now since it fits better in the thread I linked above. See you and welcome again!
