Need Pokemon game recommendation

My six year-old son is sick. Not really bad sick, but worse than just the flu. Anyway, I wanted to get him something to cheer him up. He's an avid video game player and loves his DS. Lately he's been very curious about Pokemon. I personally have never played any Pokemon game. And neither has he. This would be his first Pokemon game. Could you guys recommend one or the other to get him started? Thanks!

I would agree with Corbin as to get him one of the new ones .... It has maybe over 60 + hours and that is not including the two story lines it has for you to play(Spoiler) \r \r Please let him choose either Heart Gold or Soul Silver ... Personally I choose Soul Silver, but that is just me ....

I have over 40 hours logged into my game and still not past the first 8 badges if that will tell you and this time does not really count if one hooks up to wifi with friends to trade pokemon

Thanks, everybody. I appreciate the recommendations. Unfortunately, he does not have the DSi. So I don't think his has wi-fi. But y'all have given me something to work with. Thanks again.

All the DS's have wifi even the older ones ... you just have to have an open setting like McDonalds and any other place that has an open connection :)
