I'm wondering what, in your opinion, is the best Pokémon game. Specifically not your favourite, but the one you would show to a complete newcomer to show what the mainline series is at its best.

My personal thought would be either Emerald or HG/SS, but I admittedly haven't kept up with the series so much after Black and White 1, which I disliked the designs for and found too slow and hand-holdy.

Second for HG/SS. It had everything G/S had, which was solid to begin with, and added elements up through 4th gen I think. You get two regions, a huge pokedex, weather and day/night cycles, phoning the gym leaders for rematches, classic graphics before the 3ds. It has a all the classic Pokemon elements without all the clutter and limits of the new games.
