I'm not talking emotional games about working out parental trauma, I need shit to play past my bedtime while drinking soda and eating pizza. I last did this with diablo 3, and I wish to revisit the headspace

Pokemon on a handheld while watching the Pokemon anime.

One of the remakes perhaps? FRLG, BDSP? Nostalgia hit with less clunk

For me it's Gold/Silver or HeartGold/SoulSilver, but IDK. Depends on what you'd prefer I guess. Maybe a game that matches the generation of the anime you're watching.

I've literally never finished a pokemon game, I don't have any nostalgia unforch

Not handheld, but I've had the experience you're talking about playing Colosseum

I understand this means the best is dependent on where you first played the series, but it's extremely funny that I've gotten 5 replies, each one with a different game(s)

Only to an extent. While nostalgia is very much a factor, both Platinum and Black/White are very well regarded. I grew up with Ruby/Sapphire, personally.
