I haven't played pokemon since generation I.
I will get Pokemon Sun and Moon.
What the fuck can I do to anticipate all the new stuff.
Types, natures, holding items, how do I get started
Play Gen V. That's all you need to do.Play BBVW/BBVW2 if you want all 649 PokemonGen VI doesn't exist
Even though it was easy, I honestly think X/Y is your best bet. A lot of the mechanics are easier to understand in that Gen, I can see beginners liking that.

Honestly, one of the things you can do is marathon the other games, Gen 2 through 6. Basically catch up on everything you've missed.
For the early generations (2 and 3, I don't recommend for 4 and up but you can try, 6 is impossible) I suggest emulation. Unless, of course, you want to buy all the games, and for Gen 2 and 3, compatible hardware. The benefit of physical hardware is that starting with Gen 3 you can move your Pokemon to the next generation via some mechanic, but Gen 2 doesn't enjoy that feature.
For that reason, if you're going with physical hardware I still recommend emulating Gen 2, and grabbing a DS Lite to play Gen 3 on and transfer mons up to Gen 4 with.
Agreeing with the anon about X/Y. Gen R/B/Y are pretty simple honestly, and X/Y is sorta in that same vain. Plus it'll introduce ya to all the new stuff without making it overwhelming. Discovering new Pokemon is fun as heck, & there's plenty of Gen 1 familiarity to it.
After that you could try heart gold/soul silver, which are remakes of gold/silver, which came out right after R/B/Y
If you're just looking for something fun to play, HeartGold/SoulSilver.
If you want to check out the new Pokemon and get into online battling and stuff, get X/Y.

V would probably scare him off Pokemon, though. With all the new designs and an actual story.
Play X/Y, OP. Its perfect for oldgenners to get the gist of modern Pokemon. You even get a Kanto starter.

You could just go in with what you have and take in the entirely new experience. That's probably what I would do.
