After experiencing very much nostalgia, I am going to be buying a friend's old DS from him and a Pokemon game or two. I haven't played any DS Pokemon games other than Diamond. I have played FR, LG, S, R, E, and pretty much every other GameBoy game, but nothing on the DS but Diamond.
I was wondering: What would be a good Pokemon game for me to buy? I know B/W2 just came out, but I'd rather go with the original B/W instead of jumping to 2. Any particular favorites or suggestions of what to buy or not buy?
Thanks!

Thank you all for your recommendations! I have been looking into all of the games you've recommended, and I have particularly liked HG/SS. B/W seemed too... New, to me. I really don't know why. I've always liked the classics
Thanks again for your recommendations. I'm open to any other suggestions anyone may have.
Question, I have only played about 15 minutes of Pokemon Blue on my friend's Game Boy. I don't have one though, only a 3DS, so what would be the best DS game for a first timer?

Any Pokemon game is very easy to jump into. If you're looking for an experience similar to Blue, the closest you'd get is HeartGold or SoulSilver.
I haven't really got really into Pokemon Black and White, so I can't recomend a game I haven't thoroughly played. I'm sure its a great game though. I enjoyed Pokemon Platinum Version because I thought it was a great improvement to Diamond and Pearl if you are interested in playing an improved Diamond and Pearl. However I really enjoyed Heart Gold and Soul Silver. They both offered lots of gameplay and a few new additions to the original Silver and Gold. So I recomend Heart Gold and Soul Silver, but if you aren't interested in those, Platinum is also a great game.
If you've only played the GBA games I'd suggest getting Platinum or Black/White. You'd be seeing new conent rather than remakes.
(Though you may like HG/SS because they've included the Johto region.)
Original B/W are awesome, easily the most fun i've had with a pokemon game since gen 2. I can't comment yet on B/W 2 as I've only just received my copy
I just got Black 2, and I'm really enjoying it. I shall recommend that.

Soul Silver and Heart Gold are great. They're pretty much remakes of the old Gold and Silver versions.
As for newer games, I'd probably go with B/W2, since it has added a good amount of content since the first B/W games.
Also, B/W 2 says to have lots of content, so that may be something to try. You get to fight the Kanto gym leaders!
