Which generation had the best pokemon?

[Matt3225]

Gen 2 gave us Houndoom and a lot of other pokemon I love so I'm gonna have to go with gen 2

Although I liked each generation almost equally, I chose Generation 4, which I liked a little better than the 3rd one, then the 2nd one followed by the 1st. The reason is that this generation has some interesting Pokemon like the penguins and the gastropods, but most important is the evolutions. Tangrowth and Mamoswine are two evolutions that I actually take a liking to, because they look awesome to me.

Gen IV -> Gen I -> can't really decide between II and III.
Generation IV for me, plz. There's a lot variety and a lot of weird and different kinds of species beside those more natural Pokémons, like Rotom and Spritomb. Many of my favorites are from Gen IV (like Torterra, Mamoswine, Hippowdon, Magnezone, Yanmega and Pachirisu) and overall designs and the style are perfect in this generation. Even those Pokémon I don't like that much, look actually great (Kricetune).

Gen III had great Pokémon and I like many of those, but overall it was the weakest generation for me. All Pokémon were quite natural and realistic etc, which made them together a little boring. Gen II was a strong and well made follow-up for the Gen I back then, but nowadays it feels more like a little addition not a whole new generation. And none of my most favorites are from Gen II.

Gen III. Introduction of the Hoenn 3, Absol, Salamence and Rayquaza was awesome.

 

[Ranger Jack Walker]

I'm laughing at those who thought Gen III had the most hated Pokemon. That includes me... >_>

 

[Trainer Yusuf]

Well;
Design-wise; of course this is my biased opinion, but a tie between Gen II and Gen III for me because they have most of my favourite Pokémon.

Usefulness-wise; Gen IV. Obviously.

I-I think the 1st Gen was the best...I respect classics and seem to like those pokemon more anyway...

 

[Shadowlord]

I would say generation 4!:-D

 

[Pureauthor]

Generation 3 gave us the Kung Fu Chicken, the Metal Dinosaur that killed things by Smashing Heads, Milotic, and Metagross.

Yeah, gonna vote Gen 3.

 

[Toastastic]

I pick Gen 2. They started getting a lot of lame ones after that.

 

[Trainer Gabriel]

I think they're all great.:thumbup:

 

[Palgia]

Gen 1 was the classic pokemon thet we all grew up with but Gen 4 was pretty cool

 

[Bubba Jo Hep]

i think gen2 but gen 3 is very good so i pick both

 

[zerohona]

I think Gen 1 and 2 had the best pokemon

Every time someone mentions the word "Pokemon", I think of Bulbasaur, Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Geodude, etc.... The first generation (in my opinion) had the best pokemon. I'm sure I believe this only because it was the first game I played, and I've seen them in every game. Besides, can any later pokemon come close to the extreme awesomeness that is Mr. Mime or Jynx?

The 3rd Generation had the best ones. I really dig their off the wall design. Ludicolo? Cradily? Skarmory? All three of the starters? M'FUKKIN AGGRON? AWESOME. I can go on and on and on... Except Metagross; never too crazy for that one. Too clunky.

The 4th has some neat looking ones too, like Luxray, Staraptor, Honchkrow and possibly my favorite pokemon, design-wise, of all time: Garchomp. But I admit things like Arceus and Gastrodon (it's more about the choice of colors for this one) are off. But Probopass was cool, stop the hatin'!

My first game was Silver, then it was Red afterward. Good times, but even then I thought that the pokemon-design was somewhat lacking. I wasn't even impressed with Mewtwo, to be honest.

 

[Rainbow]

I like every generation. I, II, III, IV, and I even like the way V is looking so far.

 

[lmao]

Hmm...I'd say Gen I or II. Not because they're the first ones and I have to "respect a classic" but because I simply liked them the most. Gen III is pretty close too, though!

Gen iv I didn't like any, really...

 

[F-22]

I am partial to the first generation not only because they are the classics and pretty awesome aesthetically, but also that the majority of them to this day retain their usefulness battle-wise or improving with time. In fact, Starmie probably holds the record for absolute most unchanged Pokemon....you can run the same set in gen I as you can in gen IV with the same effectiveness, and probably to the next generation as well. And that is just awesome.
