Well, some of my personal faves are Pokemon White (DS) , Emerald is for Game Boy Advance but I'm 90% sure the Ds can play them, and Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire

if you're looking for more games similar to moon and x, i would recommend omegaruby/alphasapphire. they're remakes of ruby and sapphire for the gameboy advance, with elements of emerald (basically an ultimate version of ruby/sapphire) thrown into the mix so that it feels more like a remake of the three. there are some fun features to play around with in oras that aren't in xy (dexnav, secret bases, soaring) that i think are super neat and underrated in the franchise. black/white are also amazing games to play if you're looking for a pokemon game with better story, though i do think they're more difficult than moon and x, so if you're looking for a better challenge, they're a good route to take.

and if you're feeling like getting acquainted with the games where pokemon started, you can check the 3DS eshop for red, blue, yellow, gold, silver, and crystal. they're not everyone's cup of tea, but if you don't mind older games or are just curious about how pokemon played back in the day, they're relatively cheap and worth the download. plus, you can transfer your pokemon from the eshop downloads and send them to your x and moon. it's neat to have pokemon from such old games in their nice new 3d models in gen 6 and 7.

overall though, i think any pokemon game you decide to check out will be worth the money and effort. they're all really great games and while not everything is always in my taste, i can't say i've ever played a pokemon game and didn't have a good time.

I would suggest red/blue/yellow, crystal but if you don't want to go that far back then maybe gen 1 remakes fire red and leaf green. I would also suggest gen 2 remakes heart gold soul silver, as for gen 4 platinum would be the better option of the 3 games, gen 3 remakes omega Ruby and alpha sapphire are a must and finally black/white 2 I feel they are a big improvement on black/white

This is pretty much the best thing said.

I've had fun with even my least favourite generations and games. There hasn't been a time in recently memory where I've played a game and told myself that I truly hated the experience. Even BW, the game I feel I liked the least due to its lack of a solid Battle Facility, I had fun with because of the story and characters.

So really, you can't go wrong regardless of which Pokemon game you choose. I do want to caution though that R/B aged terribly over the years, so that's something to be mindful of if you're going for these games. Yellow is a bit better on the visuals though, and If you're wanting to go for Gen 2, I'd strongly recommend Crystal for probably the best experience, although G/S aren't bad, either. ^^

Really, you're not going to go wrong with any main series Pokemon game you play, imo. They're all wonderful in their own ways and each one brings something new and innovative to the formula. I'd say get as many as you can for a cheap as you can and play 'em all!

Have you considered trying any spin-off Pokemon games?

Hrmm.. I'd have to say.. try out Heartgold or Soulsilver? Maybe Black or White?
As for spin-offs, I always recommend trying all the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, especially Explorers of Sky.
