The first one.

Those are some god-awful choices. D/P and S/M are literally, factually, objectively inferior to their enhanced counterparts (Platinum and US/UM) and are only worth playing if you specifically want to use a Pokemon that is in those games but isn't available in the enhanced version for some reason.

R/B is more understandable due to nostalgia and being great for its time, but it's still a mess of glitches and spaghetti code that's barely held together. Unless you want to mess around with those glitches or (if you're playing the VC versions) you want hidden ability gen 1 Pokemon to send to Bank/Home, just play the GBA remakes because they're a much better experience overall.

Pfttt, whats your favorite digimon games?

Rude and uncalled for.

Platinum was great. Also was the first gen to make physical/special split that actually made certain Pokmon useable for the first time, wireless trading and battling online for the first time, etc. it has issues in hindsight but it also rightfully has fans.

All of those features apply to the 4th gen games in general, and D/P were definitely good games in their own right. But Platinum fixed the majority of the flaws that D/P had while also adding a bunch of new content, to the point where there's nothing that D/P does better than Platinum.

Fantina is the 5th gym in D/P meaning there's a better flow in those games. In Platinum it's pretty much a boss rush between Fantina, Marlene, and Crasher Wake.

I would personally argue that gyms 4-5-6 (Wake. Fantina, Byron) in D/P feel like a more tightly packed "boss rush" than gyms 3-4-5 (Fantina, Maylene, Wake) in Platinum. In D/P, you pretty much go straight from Fantina's gym to Canalave City and Byron's gym and there's pretty much nothing in-between, but in Platinum, the side trip to deal with the Galactic grunt in Celestic Town splits the 5th and 6th gyms apart a bit more.
