I wanna get back into Pokemon. Recently I've started playing a ROM hack of Emerald called Sigma Emerald that makes all Pokemon catchable, it's been fun. However I really wanna get into more vanilla play. The most recent game I've played is when I played Platinum as a kid. Legends Arceus looks really fun, but I don't have a switch. I'd buy one, but I don't wanna end up not liking the switch games. Kinda stuck between a switch or a 3ds.

Where do you guys think I should enter into the newer eraa of Pokemon with?

As an old gen 3 fan, I recently played Black/White 1 for the first time and I see why multiple friends of mine called it peak Pokémon. It's the latest game that retains the same 'feel' in my experience. I bounced off of Sw/Sh and the Sun/Moons. Something just didn't hit right as a fan of the older games. My only complaint with B/W1 is that I'm not a huge fan of the starters, but there were a lot of mon in that game (the whole region is 100% new Pokémon BTW. No carryover from other regions/gens) that felt like they fit.

Have you tried BW2? My cousin said the same thing about White 2, he told me the White Forest kicks way more ass than Black City. I'm interested in trying it, but I'm kinda put off by doing the same region 4 times for all the content.

BW/BW2 are really great Pokemon games with a lot of contents (especially BW2 with the Pokemon World Tournament).

I haven't. A lot of the expansions put in BW2 sound like things that do well for 2nd playthroughs, such as adding older gen pokemon to the region. I may sometime in the future though.
