Pokemon Scarlet/Violet is open world and fun but the performance is rough, younger kids don't care much though. Let's Go is still the easier first one like above.

Let's Go Pikachu or Let's Go Eevee. Catching is just a flick like Pokemon Go, wild battles aren't a thing so they can't get stuck, and a second player can pick up the other Joy-Con and help out, which is great if you want to play alongside them. Sword/Shield is the natural next step once they've got the hang of it.
