I liked most of the 3rd gen pokemon just fine. Granted there were some bad ones.

I wouldn't say that just because I like all of the original 151.

I find it annoying just because it's over-rated. The design isn't bad though. 

Are we talking about move list here?lancelot200

I was just referring to the general design. They constantly change the movesets.

Now that I've played Pokemon Black, I say either Gen 2 or 4 is the weakest. Still not sure which is the worst. :Pkoolkat14

The only thing I didn't like about the second generation were the baby pokemon. 

Other than that they had good pokemon, 16 gyms and a worthy final challenge.

Since it picks up after the events of the first game it also feels like a true sequel. From the 3rd generation on they stop letting you go to the previous regions, former events are ignored and the same formula is used in every single one.

That's probably why the 2nd generation is my favourite. It has the most epic feel and there's more to do than any of the games have had since.

Each time they come up with a new generation it gets worse in my opinion. I don't know anything after the 2nd generation. The best were the original 151.julian_jr

Although then again you have to consider that the original pokemon were the ones that plenty of us grew up around. We'd need someone younger to give us their perspective on the newer pokemon and what they think. julian_jr

No we don't. We're more than capable of judging the designs of the newer pokemon.

That doesn't affect your judgement unless you let it.

It really doesn't. 

The major problem with the newer pokemon is that they try too hard with them. The result is that they look like they came out of a bad children's cartoon. 

The older designs are still good because they're simple and elegant. In a lot of cases they look like what they're based on, but it works. Take Yanma for instance. It's a stylistic dragonfly. Then look at Yanmega. It's the same thing, but after an artist from an "extreme" 90s comic got a hold of it. The result is that it doesn't look good. It's like they were trying way too hard to be "edgy" and "cool."

I loved all the generations, but I think gen 2 had the least pokemon good for competitive play. The only ones were Scizor and Tyranitar.Naveen196

I love Pokemon that require a special object to evolve, very interesting. :cool: Like how Scyther needs a Metal Coat. I think the same also applies to Onyx into Steelix. Toph_Girl250

At first I was gonna say gen 3, because that's when I completely stopped following the show. But when I played the game it was pretty good.

I'm going with Gen 4 as being the worst. Gen 5 has a ton of sucky pokemon, don't get me wrong, but Zekrom and that Karate pokemon are pretty cool. In fact, every fighting type in the game is a good addition to the type itself.

To me, the starters in Gen 5 look like better versions of the Gen 4 ones, but at the same time, both Gen 4 and 5 are like rip offs of Gen 3.

The Gen 4 legendaries were OP in theory. I mean, they were basically gods. That was kinda cool, but their designs weren't as good as the newest gen imo.

I thought Gen 2 was the best though. The starters were all solid, and basic looking creatures, like Gen 1. The game was easily my favorite and was a huge step above the first games. The legendaries were flawless. Lugia got a great movie to show off in, and everyone remembered Ho oh tying in to the first episode...genius.

Gen 1 is just cIassic, so you can't hate on it. Except now ya have to question whether or not they were trying to top Mewtwo for the past 3 Gens.

Edit: I almost forgot, Gen 4 had good music and Garchomp, so I can't hate that much.

Gen 1 = Gen2 > Gen 3 (only because the pokemon all looked like they belong in their region, they have a tropical feel) > Gen 4 = Gen5.

That's actually one of the gameplay mechanics that just annoys me. Like trading pokemon to evolve them.
