Looking to start playing Pokemon.

I see there's another user on this page looking into the same thing, slightly different use cases though.

I've never played a Pokemon title and am looking to fix that. I am limited to a mobile windows device with a Z8350 processor and 2gb of RAM though, so emulating a DS game or greater is not possible for now I don't think, unless DS emulators have come a surprisingly long way since last I checked. So considering I'm probably limited to GBA or below, I should start with Leaf Green right? Nothing extra vs Fire Red right? Why don't they just remake the Yellow/Emerald versions, very frustrating Is there a way to combat the GBA sound-chip issues (that hiss) in any GBA emulators? Are there audio/orchestral mods for these games? I hope to have 3DS hardware by the time I finish Leaf Green. If I continue the trend of playing the remake, which version is closest to Emerald, Alpha or Omega? After Leaf/Fire, Heart/Silver, and Alpha/Omega, where would people suggest I go from there? Are there tools that will allow me to bring Pokemon from an emulated title to another one, even across platforms, for example from a Windows emulator to a CFW 3DS?

Thanks in Advance.

There's only Pokemon differences in FR/LG. If you like how some version exclusives look, eg Vulpix or Growlithe, you'll want to play the version with the designs you prefer.

I'd recommend starting with FR/LG, moving onto Emerald, then HS/SS, then Platinum, then Black/White1, then 2, then X/Y and finally S/M. Out of my own personal preference, I'd stop after Black/White, since the games past that never caught my interest as much as the older ones did. As far as OR/AS go, neither is more similar to Emerald than the other.

If you emulate your games, there's a way to export your teams and move them from game to game, at least from GBA into DS. After that, I'm not entirely sure if you're not playing the games in a legit manner.

Cool yeah that's the plan. Are there orchestral mods or something similar to deal with the GBA soundchip hiss?
