What should the first Pokemon game I beat be?

I have Red, Blue, Gold, Crystal, Ruby, Diamond, and X.

Find/ Start with Yellow, then Crystal, then Emerald.

Yellow

Pokemon Diamond is really fun. One of the best

This is tough. The way I see it, there are three ways to look at your options:

-Start with Red or Blue, either works, to get the genuine "first Pokemon" experience.

-Start with Ruby. Huge update in visuals over the predecessors, and it's where you really start to see improvements in the core mechanics. I'm also biased because it's my favorite gen~

-Start with X. Naturally, it's very modern comparatively, making it a much more playable experience. It also has an expansive 'Dex, so you see a much larger percentage of the existing Pokemon compared to your other options. It's also the easiest option by far, if you're really concerned with just beating one~
