If you want to play Pokemon I don't think any entry will disappoint you. By far the most dialogue-heavy games in the series but they're genuinely perfect otherwise. Make it skippable and these automatically become the best in the series, but as it stands you have to wait fifteen minutes to even get your starter, let alone get through the rest of the game.

If you want to play Pokemon I don't think any entry will disappoint you. Awful story, very few new Pokemon, and Mega Evolution is horribly overrated and advances the series in a way I'm really not fond of, but they're still perfectly fine games. Many will tell you it's too easy but Pokemon as a series has always been too easy, this one's just further in that direction than the rest.
If you want to play Pokemon I don't think any entry will disappoint you. In my opinion the absolute best main series game, although all of them are held back by Pokemon's gameplay loop being horrible. The new creature designs are mostly really good outside of the early game having mostly bad stuff funny enough. Story is genuinely amazing which is rare for Pokemon.
If you want to play Pokemon I don't think any entry will disappoint you. Level curve is horrible, a lot of the new Pokemon are weirdly difficult to get a hold of, and most of the game completely lacks a story, but it has phenomenal postgame and rebalanced the first games very well for the most part.
