I've played it since I had Blue Version; since then, I've been playing it for nostalgia and to see the new properties of the games that the creators devise. I always enjoyed the interaction of the types and how some Pokémon corresponded to others. Generation IV (especially HeartGold and SoulSilver) were the best to me; I didn't know how to play the games skillfully until Gold and Silver came out, and they were just fantastic, all the way up to the end. I didn't enjoy the fact that the functionality of the games changed in the 3rd Gen, but I became acclimated to it gradually, and, because of it, I learned about the game's mechanics in the 4th Gen. FireRed was excellent, especially with the rematch against the Rival and the Sevii Islands, and Colosseum, XD, and Emerald (even Sapphire at the beginning, although Emerald simply outshined it) were sources of incessant amuse. When I learned about how the statistics worked by the time Platinum came out, I took an interest in playing competitively and arranging the best teams I could match up. I grew doubtful there would be Johto remakes, but, then, they came out, and it was ecstatic, what with the starters and other Pokémon that I grew to cherish (and the PokéWalker allowing for things like Flying Pikachu and Selfdestruct Snorlax). The culmination of the 4th Gen was the zenith of its glory; it even exceeded the hopes I had that it would satisfy the desire I had for Crystal Version in the 2nd Gen. Since then, there have been some neat, new competitive aspects of the game, but now we've gotten so many Pokémon outclassing other Pokémon, and so many exploitable components of the game practically screaming to be competitively abused. All the events and tie-ins of the 4th Generation games were and will always be the best moments in the franchise for me. And, naturally, all the new games will always be fun.
...and there's always the fact that it's the first series of video games I've ever had.
