I played the original red and blue way back in the day but never got around to playing the sequels. Wanted to get an opinion on which one to play next... Heard that sky is just an expansion of time and darkness.

Sky for sure
I think you answered your own question... play sky and then play Super.
Everyone’s basically saying Sky so I’ll say this. Don’t play Gates to Infinity. It sucks. There’s a video on YouTube shortening the story to about 5 minutes if you really wanna know it
Gates isnt that bad, it just cant hold a candle to the rest of the games, especially rescue and explorers.
S K Y
ALWAYS SKY
Play Sky
I played time as a kid but I always hear that sky has extra content to it that you have to try!
Sky has the special episodes
Sky has more content, but some of that content makes the story less impactful, however most of it makes it more impactful, so pick your poison
Sky. It's the DEFINITIVE version.
I’m late to this party unfortunately but Sky is the definitive edition of Time and Darkness, as another user commented. Gates to Infinity isn’t bad; when compared to its predecessors, it doesn’t seem to hold up. It had big shoes to fill and surpass in the Explorers games. It has its own charm and flaws like every game does and who knows, you may enjoy it. I personally liked Gates over Super—mainly because it keeps the defeated-Pokémon-in dungeon-and-joins your team recruiting mechanic from Rescue and Explorers.
But anyway, Explorers of Sky is a nice game to start with. It has a good amount of starter Pokémon to choose from and as most said, it has a lot of extra content to keep yourself entertained as you progress through the main story. I won’t spoil anything further than what I’ve said (the recruiting method, lol) for Gates if you want to give it a try. The story felt more realistic and deep on a real-world situation that happens even today. That’s just me, imo. So yep, just try Sky version if you want. It’s like Emerald and Platinum version from the main core series. Time and Darkness are fine games, although they are “version exclusive”, so there will be Pokémon from Darkness version in Time version you’ll never encounter unless you unlock them with Wondermail Codes, and viceversa. Just keep that in mind.
Hope you chose the game you want! 🙂
Definitely sky. It has special episodes and the fifth contains the best storytelling in the series. A bunch of quality of life stuff as well like an extra save point in town and being able to see how much stuff is in your storage.
Awesome sounds like sky is the choose for me then. Thanks!
Enjoy it! It’s absolutely incredible. Definitely complete the postgame too, it’s basically still main story.
