So I recently bought a new 2ds xl and im looking to buy my first pokemon game but i cant decide between 3 games

1) Pokemon ORAS
2) Pokemon X/Y/Z
3) Pokemon Sun/Moon
4) Wait for Pokemon Ultra Sun/Moon

I want a game which lasts long and has a good story/villian team with good pokemons.

Thanks

All of the games will last pretty much the same amount of time, at least in my experience, barring SM cause I spent a lot of time catching pokemon and trying out the new features since it was the first game i was able to hook up to the internet xD

In terms of villains/story, I'd rate your choices this way: (Excluding USUM since it hasnt come out)
1. ORAS
2. Sun/Moon
3. XY (Z doesn't exist fyi)

In terms of Pokemon, i'd rate them:
1. XY
2. SM
3. ORAS

In terms of learning how to play:

1. SM
2. ORAS
3. XY

Keep in mind these rankings are just my own opinion, I know plenty of people who love the ORAS pokemon. In all honesty though, you'll probably like whichever game you choose cause it is your first, so it'll always be special to you, just like Crystal is to me!

Whichever one you end up choosing, I'd love to hear about your experience in an adventure log thread for the game.

Good luck with your decision and I'm happy to go more in-depth on each of the games if you have any questions!

I'd keep it between Oras and SuMo and take out X/Y tbh ...
While X/Y did get me back into pokmon (games), for me it's one of the games I rarely turn on anymore. I often spent my time on OrAs but for continuation, new pokmon, etc I obviously go with the latest game which is SuMo and am getting ultra moon in november.

I have most fun with OrAs because I feel as if it has more to offer than any other game. With contests, secret bases, etc. A lot to collect, a lot to do and a lot to share :D

I personally preferred ORAS the best of the lot, and I'm not fully in the loop on whether USUM is a continuation of SM or a alt-universe, but if it's an alt-universe I would say there's no need to buy SM with USUM so close around the corner. Do not bother with XY.

Great story and post game should pick OR/AS though it isn't easy thing, though you want to learn about mega evolution should pick XY beware how easy the league is and gym leaders and elite four are easy 1-hit KO and no pushover, but it's not recommended due to being easy and horrible storyline. Tired of badges and HMS all the time, venture to alola then choose SM or U/SM if you like to skip a head (you get z-crystals which one-time move that do whooping damage, stamps and passports are a thing in alola also talking rotom pokedex!)
Post Sig coming soon.

So its between oras and sm. The only prob for me with oras is that the pokemon are old and the same. Sm has a lot to offer with mega evs (i think?). Otherwise oras has a great story line with great teams and legendarys, so id appreciate a last opinion. Thanks
Wrong about the Mega Evos part. SM only has Mega Evolutions in the post-game, and they're only the same ones from ORAS. If you want a focus on Mega Evolutions go for ORAS.
