Do you have a GBA or the other varieties? If so get fire red or leaf green. Might as well start with that and you get a partial taste of the other 2 regions.
I have a GBA, DS, and an emulator on my PSP. I just don't know which to get.
IMO start with Fire red. You start on the first generation and after you play through past the end you can see the 2nd and 3rd gen pokemon. More 2nd gen than 3rd, but it just gives you an idea of what the next gen games pokemon will look like.
Fire red then SS/HG then Emerald and if you like the series enough go with platinum afterwards.
