What's the next step for me as a pokemon fan?

I've been enjoying the games for a while now and have even been enjoying some classic sapphire on my old ds, yet now that the forums are open and I see all these discussions about deeper aspects of the games and series, what's the next step for me to appreciate pokemon more and get more into it? Do I start doing nuzlockes, or maybe get into vgc? Do I start studying the lore or watching the anime more? I just want to know so I feel I can appreciate pokemon far more :)
