I just got a 3DS and want to try one of the Pokemon games. I haven't played any since the GBA days, so was wondering what the best one is.

I like Pokemon Black, but Conquest is also supposed to be good...

If you want a main series game than Black/White is probably considered the best.

If you want a spin-off series than I really have no idea what the best would be but will give a few peraonal opinions on them.

The Dungeon Explorers games where decent I think and reminded me a lot of older rogue like games but were not as strict about deaths.

The Ranger games I think we're really fun and probably my favorite spin-off series. The games are all touch screen based and you don't actually catch Pokemon you befriend them.

Conquest was a good SRPG from the little that I played it but it seemed like it just tried to drag out ai much stuff for me. If you like FF Tactics then I would say you would like Conquest as well.

My friend convinced me to get Pokemon Black since I've never played any Pokemon game. Pretty good so far, but I realized 20 minutes into the game, it doesn't auto-save and when I turned it back on to play it my game save wasnt there. EPIC FAIL!

Nope. Haven't played any sports/racing games either.

Just started playing Borderlands GotY the other day.

Well sports game suck (outside of skate) and racing usually does too. And I haven't played Borderlands either.

But what is your genre of "expertise"?

Shooters, RPG, Action/Adventure mostly. Mostly try to cover all the AAA titles (CoD, Uncharted, RDR, Ninja Gaiden, Final Fantasy, AC, etc.)

I bought Pokemon Conquest and am loving it. And I'm really bored with the Pokemon series in general since it's barely changed since the Gameboy days.

I appreciate the input, guys. Looks like I'll pick up Black or White. I'm interested to see what the newest Pokemon characters are named and look like.

pokemon black/white is the best for me!

Get Pokemon soul silver or heart gold. Those have so much content and will introduce you to old school pokemon.
