What is your favorite generation of Pokemon? This is my list of my least favorite to my favorite.
(Only including main series games or remakes)
7. Gen 1
My god, was Gen 1 boring. I know many praise it for being the first game, but REALLY? The evil team is SO lame. They appear out of nowhere and don't even really have a plan. They're evil. They want to steal money and Pokemon. That's incredibly dull when you consider the other plotlines of the other teams. And the Pokemon? Well, I can't argue there. Me and my sister are big fans of Squirtle and Gengar, and there's also Moltres, Charmander, Eevee, Dragonite, Omastar and more. The only redeeming traits I see with Gen 1 is that some Pokemon are pretty cool and that it paved the way for games that were a heck of a lot better than itself.
6. Gen 7
It was hard picking between Gen 1 and Gen 7. I was leaning towards putting Gen 1 at this spot since it actually had gyms, but I realized that wouldn't really work. After all, Gen 7 DOES bring some stuff to the table, such as cool new Pokemon and trials (Even though trials are stupid. I hate them and whoever thought it was a good idea to put them in the game should be fired.) Anyways, let's start with Team Skull. Basically a funnier Team Rocket. They had good dialogue and Guzma showed everyone that bug types could wreck the competition. However, I still found them unintimidating and boring. There were some nice Pokemon that came in, but the reason I HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE Gen 7 lies in this fact: There is now freaking Gyms. I Loved Gyms. They were creative, challenging, and provided a fun experience overall. And then they got replaced with trials. You fight a Strong Pokemon and get a Z-Crystal (Which is Gen 7's Mega Evolution, Basically.) ALSO, They disregarded Mega Evolution entirely this time. Z-Moves were the big thing, but who wants ONE extra-strong move when you can have a cool new Pokemon for the whole battle? Overall, Gen 7 left a bad taste in my mouth, and with Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee coming out, I don't think that will be changing anytime soon.
5. Gen 2
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWN. I don't even want to review Gen 2. It's basically a better, slightly less boring Gen 1...
4. Gen 3
Gen 3 Is wonderful. It provides many new features and cool new Pokemon. What else is there to say? Gen 3 rocks. It's fun to play, but is outclassed by...
3. Gen 6
Many look down on Gen 6 due to It's easy nature. While I don't like the low challenge level, Pokemon Spork showed me that a game does NOT by any means have to be difficult to be good. Gen 6 was my first Pokemon game, and I think that's why I love it so much. Team Flare was basically Team Galactic, reborn. They were incredibly similar (but Team Galactic was cooler) and Lysandre even had 2 of his Pokemon be the exact same as Cyrus. (Honchkrow and Gyarados.) But even though Team Flare piggybacks on Team Galactic, there aren't the reason I love Gen 6 so much. There are three things that will always bring me back to X and Y: The Pokemon, Mega Evolution, Music, and did I mention Music? Yes, although there weren't many new Pokemon in Gen 6, what was there was pretty good. Me and my sisters make Bunnelby jokes ALL the time, and these are just some of my favorites in Gen 6: Greninja, Yveltal, Dragalge, Meowstic, Aegislash, Aegislash, Aegislash, Noivern, and did I mention Aegislash? And Mega Evolution. It's amazing. Megas are downright cool, and that's a fact. And the music. OH MY GOD THE MUSIC... It's amazing. I like Lysandre's theme, The XY Pokemon theme, RIval theme, Champion theme, and more. Gen 6 really got it right with music.
2. Gen 4
I love Gen 4. It's jam-packed with excitement. And I'd love to say more.... but I'm saving my time for this last one...
1.Gen 5
Gen 5 is so good. You can tell me anything, but I will not change my mind. Many hate Gen 5, but WHY?! Because of the "Dumb" Pokemon designs? I LOVE Vanilluxe and Klinklang, personally, but the others aren't bad either. The ONLY Gen 5 Pokemon I dislike is Garbodor. Not Trubbish. Not Basculin. Nope. And even if nobody in the world liked the object Pokemon, who overlooks Serperior, Dewott, Volcarona, Genesect, Galvantula, Reshiram, Cobalion, Keldeo, Meloetta, Hydreigon, Haxorus and the list just keeps going! Gen 5 has the ULTIMATE package. If Black and White weren't enough, you can play Black and White 2. And they are the definition of good remakes. I LOVE them. I still enjoy the originals more. And Team Plasma. We've had terrorists and criminals, and now we face PETA in their coolest form...
Robes with eyes on them!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, I freakin' love Cryogonal. No that was not a typo CRYOGONAL. It's good. If you say otherwise, Watch the Mine Song from Lazytown and catch yourself a Cryogonal sign today.
Also, Spork and Reborn are even better than Gen 5. LOL
Seriously though, official Pokemon games are pretty lame compared to Fangames. That's why they get taken down because Game Freak is jealous that there is a free Pokemon game that's better than their 40 dollar Not as good Pokemon Game. Fangame Creators aren't corporate companies, so they know what people want in a Fangame. People like following Pokemon, Easy ways to view IVs and EVs (Whatever the heck those are. I just catch Pokemon I like. I think IVs and EVs and stuff are DUMB), and all Pokemon being obtainable in a single game. That's why I mostly play Fangames now. They make Gen 5 look bad. And That's saying something.
