This is probably not a particularly popular opinion, but I think Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee are great options for a series newcomer. It is the most polished main series game on the Switch (which also means it's easy to get), and while the target audience is much more casual than the average main series title, the way the mechanics are both modern and simplified means they make a great starting point before jumping into more complex and difficult games.
Thanks for the comment, Libris! I am very happy to read your opinion! While Let's Go was fun to play, I felt that FireRed and LeafGreen were better examples of a more traditional game in this region. If the reader had come straight from playing Pokémon GO however, this would have been an obvious choice to recommend.
Unpopular opinion again, but FRLG are among the least interesting Pokémon games to me. If I want to go back to Kanto, I'm picking up either Yellow for the nostalgia or Let's Go for the unusual playstyle and beautiful graphics!

Yes, that one is unpopular. Thanks though! :P
