U gotta watch black and white. Unova has the best pokemon characters and story. IT IS EPIC. I would also recomend kalos region. DONT WATCH ALOLA IT IS GARBage. I stuggled to watch the 5 episode i seen
I have played only one of the games. It was okay. I liked it but every time you went to the place u start all ur progress was lost and u had to redo evrything
