>>24862499
I think overall Gen V had the consistently best designs, but at the cost of fluctuating entirely between great and mediocre or outright shit designs.
Again, I'd say Gen V had the best music, but that's mainly because they could do more in terms of sound than Gen IV and make much more atmospheric tracks. Otherwise, II or IV.
Gen IV I'd say had the best world. It was so vast and varied in nature with all kinds of secrets. Now if only you didn't need 5 fucking HMs at all times.
Gen V had the best story. That's just default. If you played BW and loved how it was handled, you already know why.
Gen V again, because characters are apart of the story and it wouldn't be what it was without the hero's friends, the gym leaders and N most of all. Though, I'd say III is a close second just because of Steven, Maxie and Archie and the way you encountered them over the course.

How is the X/Y soundtrack not the most pleasant shit you've heard among the games? The French overtones were well-executed and Laverre is the top contender for comfiest location. OR/AS added to the good music with the Magma/Aqua boss theme and the redone Maison Chatelaine theme.
>>24862530
#1 those aren't characters, #2 they're not even that cute, some fanart might be nice, but you can make anything sexy from fan art
>>24862543
>II having the best story
>VI having good characters aside from Sycamore and Korrina
>>24862534
There's some truth to this. These in my opinion are the only good Gen 5 pokemon. The ones I have taken out I think are complete shit. That's still over half the dex so Gen 5 is a no for me, but all the ones I've left I do like.

>>24862499
Ideal new Pokemon game would consist of:
Gen III level of world and routes design
Gen II level of added content in comparsion to gen I
Gen IV number of great music tracks
Gen I amount of "you're the chosen one" story
Gen V aestetic of interface
Gen VI new Pokemon design-wise + Gen III/V number-wise

I don't understand why people like gen 5's characters the most. The only ones that stood out were N (because he's an autist that can talk to pokemon and befriends a legendary pokemon because of how "pure" he is or whatever) and a couple of gym leaders(Roxie is a good waifu and Cheren is cool in BW2). Same thing goes for gen 2's "story," I just don't understand why people liked it. It was literally just gen I with a whiny Team Rocket and an extra region with terrible level-scaling(I still liked that double-region thing a lot though).

Don't be one of those faggots. You have no argument for Darumaka and Darmanitan being shitty Pokemon, esepecially when you left fucking Emolga, Druddigon and Durant.

Gen 3 I belive had the most good designs, but I think gen 1 had the least bad designs.
>music
Absolutely no question gen 4, just listen to route 209 (day) such an underrated track because no one stops to listen to route music.
>World
Has to be gen 2 by virtue of simply having the most to explore, honorable mention to gens 3 and 4 for having battle frontier/resort
>Story
I believe gen 5 has the most in deph story as it goes far beyond the "lol take over the world xD" generic criminal organization and finally asked the question of why its ok to battle pokemon.
>characters
Not too sure on this one. I guess gen 5 again? Most of the charachters in pokemon aren't very fleshed out and some just have no personailty at all. My favorite is Cynthia but even she has very little development.

V had a lot of interesting designs, but an equal amount of shit ones. Same with VI, and to a lesser extent IV. Overall, I'd go with V.
>Music
VI, no question. IV comes in a close second (very comfy music), but VI outpaces it by a large margin.
>World
...Tough one. Either Kalos or Johto, really; Kalos had a lot of different types of regions (which could get weird, but still), while Johto had more of a sense of a small-town kid running into a big wide world.
>Story
V. I don't think anyone's questioning this. For all the good things I had to say about VI, the story is ten pounds of shit in a five pound sack. While II and IV aren't half bad, V is just better.
>Characters
V; again, no question. Characters have been getting steadily more three-dimensional (not literally) since the beginning; the exception was Kalos, because every bit of plot was another inch of shit burying it.

VI - they're all seen as at least decent in most people's eyes

1 and 5, they both introduced 151 Pokemon with a grand majority being well designed
My favourite track is BW's Elite 4 theme, but I honestly couldn't pick one generation as the best in the music category, they all have good tracks and bad tracks
3, Hoenn is the best region to explore
5, BW -> BW2 has the best story yet in a Pokemon game; both N and Colress have more complex motivations than any previous villain and then you have Ghetsis to fill the evil guy with a cheap selfish goal role
5, kind of cheating here cause BW2 has PWT, which includes most of all the important characters in the entire series

Alright, here's the argument:
Gen V's music sucks because of the dubstep music, horrible rhythm, and overall lack of harmony, save for a few gems like Route 10 / Unwavering Emotions.
Did you hate Zinnia? If you ever hate a fictional character, you should know that your feelings are manipulated by a mere fictional character, and that's what makes her good (and yes, her character is extremely annoying but that what makes her stand out in ORASupreme)
>>24863752
>dubstep music
Wonderful job destroying your own argument right there.
And she's nothing but a retarded bitch who nearly fucks up everything yet is never called out for it and acts like she knows better than everyone else.

My favorites are spread almost evenly throughout the gena but my top 3 are from 1, 5 and 4 respectively
Each Gen have their own quirks, 1 will always have a classic appeal, 3 for being bold and having more complex designs, 4 and 5 for introducing beastly and intimidating mons that I appreciate (but turned off a lot of people)
Not really caring much about the music but I get really nostalgic with 1 and 2
2 because Johto is comfy, has lots of pocket lore in almost every corner of the region, plus it gives you Kanto. 3 because Hoenn in the original felt very expansive and much more ruggedly wild. Although I'm not a fan of too much water routes. 5 simply because Unova having different seasons prolonged its replay value as it kept immersion fresh and engaging to whole new levels. The mapmcould have been improved, though.
5 for story and characters. It's no contest, really. I have yet to find a counter argument that actually makes sense and not self-contradictory and not just arguing for the sake of it.
>>24862499
>Pokemon:
It's hard not to say gen 1 on this one, since all the designs are so iconinc. Sure, there's a lot nastalgia involved but they are still pretty solid. I also really like the gen 6 designs, it feels like they put a lot of effort into those due to the small number of pokemon introduced. Both gen 3 and 4 had a lot of shitmons or blobs with eyes and some stubby legs and while gen 5 was pretty solid a lot of them are kind of forgettable. Gen 2 had to many gimickmons.
>Music
Gen 4 easily. That route 217 (?) music when you got out of Mt.Coronet on your way to Snowpoint was godly.
>World
Gen 4 or 5. Both Sinnoh, HGSS Johto and BW had large areas that wasn't available untill the postgame and made the world feel really big. The battle zone was a brilliant concept and it felt like a natural place for seasoned trainers to gather.
>Story:
Gen 5. I appreciated BW:s story and I think the buildup to the final Battle with N was super cool.
>Characters:
Not sure. I really liked Barry for some reason, but the best rival was Silver IMO. Gen 5 had a really rich cast too.
>>24863752
So if I make an annoying Mary Sue character who shits on everybody and gets away with it, it's a good character? Nice.

Pokemon?
2 and 5. Both of them introduced me to a lot of the bros I have now.
Music?
4 and 5, though 3 and 6 are also pretty neat.
Some people hate Gen 5's music but I personally love the composition and amount of detail in all the tracks.
World?
Gen 4 always felt really comfortable. I like them all, though.
Story?
4 and 5. I even find myself more engaged in the story in these two gens then other video games, honestly.
Characters?
5 followed by 4. Majority of my favourite characters are from 5, probably because of how much time was spent on them and how developed they were.
4 also had really nice characters, but I wish they were given more time to flesh them out. They have alot of potential.

I, however I do like a lot gen IV designs (apart from Floatzel and Wormandam). Gen V creeps up closely at 3rd place. Gen II has the worst designs, and the most shitmons. >Music? (Which tracks did you enjoy the most?)
IV. Not much can top the comfiness of gen IV.
>World? (Which areas did you like to explore?)
Gen V.While fairly linear, BW2 really explored new ground with starting from an entirely new area and exploring the region from a new perspective.
Story? (What did you find intriguing about it?)
V. Pokemon isn't great in terms of storytelling but BW and BW2 were both great in terms of the series.
Characters? (Which characters were your favorite?)
Gen I character's are notable as everyone knows them, but I'll go with gen IV, particularly the introduction of gym leaders being outside their gyms. Gen V expanded upon this though.
>>24868058
Fun fact, most genwunners love gen 5.
>>24868194
Really? Majority of genwunners I've seen hate gen 5.
>>24868226
From what I've heard and seen, gen 5 is the most common favorite recent game for genwunners. I personally hate gen 5 and all the Unovabortions. Hoennbaby/Johtoddler myself, but still better than a Unovabortion.
>>24868226
It's probably because most Gen 5 fans started with Gen 1, so they think that.
It doesn't really makes sense though. Gen 1 is where a lot of people start anyway, so you might as well call every gen after 1 a genwunner game too.

>>24868297

You don't understand how that voting worked, do you? If she was up by at least 5 votes then she would be legitimately better. But she is up by only two, meaning May and her are effectively tied, which I don't mind, considering she's my second favorite anyways.
>>24868039
>being this much of an obnoxious retard about people daring to like a generation with plenty of legitimately good things about it and quoting that many of posts as if it means shit
Literally kill yourself.
>>24868310
Last time I checked the anime didn't ruin Johto, or Kanto. Or honestly any region other than Unova. Oh yeah, that's right, Unova is actually shit, compared to all the other regions. Face it buddy, no good new Pokémon, no battle mechanic upgrades from gen 4, minor graphical upgrades to make the 3D scenery slightly more decent, and a story that is no better than any other story in the gameother than Kanto because Kanto had no story whatsoever, so Unova is pretty shit. But you're just gonna keep trying to defend it because you're butthurt that I, amongst many other people have proven you dead wrong.

There are people who watch it only for the girls, especially the older fans who might not find the Pokemon battle alone interesting enough anymore. When some piece of shit like Iris replaces Dawn they should just drop it. Not being into the BW anime also alienated people from the games.
>>24868358
I wasn't honestly using the ashnime to prove my point if you even read what I said, jackass. If anything I was saying that it had nothing to do with if the game was good or not.

I already know yours aren't worth shit considering you said Gen V had no good new Pokemon. It's the exact opposite, you obnoxious faggot. Countless other people have proven why Gen V was good and they're right. You are literally nothing but yet another retard on the internet that can't accept the games were good no matter what anyone says just because of how pathetically biased you are.

Glad that's a thing, then.
I don't think I'd want people who think the anime and the games are the same to be in the same fanbase as me.

Gen 3 had a lot of my favourites, however 5 is a close second.

>Pokémon
For iconic designs and cohesion, even in their newer and less bulky forms, Gen I
>Music
I'm not well versed in the realm of audio, but I get the impression they made good use of the DS's capabilities, had good variety and demonstrated overall composing skill in Gen V. I think N's theme is overrated though.
>World
For economy of expression, Gen I. Its simpleness is part of its charm.
>Story
Part of what turned me off from the series for a long while was the central focus on mythic mons that was tolerable in Crystal, but got stale by BW and I'm sad it may be part of GF's formula for a while. As I alluded to in the world entry, I like the rustic bug catching roots the series started in where you let your own curiosity drive you so my vote goes to Gens I and II. If I had to pick one, Gen II because I like the "X years later" narrative (though you can't have this without Gen I). Always fun to see how stuff develops.
>Characters
I think the characters in Gen I have also held up very well. How could I forget Copycat girl? Admittedly, it has my favorite girl(s) fullstop.
Looking at what I wrote, I guess I'm actually a genwunner. :^)
>>24862563
Great taste.
I chose Gen I for mons in my post, though I would've put Gen V as runner-up. I actually forgot some mons like Maractus were introduced in Gen V and stuff like Amoonguss was what would come to mind. Looking at the full dex, I still think its marred by a lot of weak designs so it feels more like a battle of extremes.
It's a shame these mons only got one gen for sprite representations since I feel a lot of these mons's charms don't fully come through in their Gen VI models (e.g., Scrafty pulling up his pants).

You get 6/10 taste because the Metagross line is there. Still though, Remoraid is awesome af.

I was extremely loose with the ones I 'liked', as if I only left ones that I honestly liked about 90% would be crossed.

>Pokemon
Gen III: There were only about 8 I disliked. Blaziken, Flygon, Metagross, Absol, Aggron all the legendaries except the regis were some of my favorites.
>Music
Gen V: Lots of good tracks. Off the top of my head: I enjoyed Lacunosa Town, Iris Champion theme, a lot of the PWT remixes, Colress theme, Hugh's theme, N's bridge, PWT final battle, Entralink. Special mention to my all time favorite: Zinnia's battle theme.
>World
Kalos for sure, it was the only region where I felt like wanting to explore every inch of it. Loved exploring Lumiose city.
>Story & Characters
No surprised that me and many sane people would choose Gen V, it's the only one that tried to do something different with it's story. It actually had good antagonists (N and Colress) and all the gym leaders were relevant to the story. It felt like a real adventure with surprises and epic moments along the way, in ways the other Gens haven't made me feel.

II. Or III. Depends on if you want a postgame story or not.

>say to do II or III

Why did you even ask?
>>24862499
Gen 6 (only one evolutionary line I actually dislike)
Gen 2 or 4 (HGSS has inferior versions of most GSC tunes but also has GB sounds, and I love Sinnoh)
Gen 3 (Hoenn is well-put-together, has a lot of variation without being completely unreasonable like a heavy snow route out of fucking nowhere, and the lack of route gates made it feel a lot more fun to just ride around while you looked for Lati@s or whatever the fuck; honorable mention to Sinnoh for being cozy as fuck)
Gen 5 (wins by default for being the only Gen that bothers with story other than Gen 6, and your rivals ruin anything good about Kalos' story)
Gen 5 (I like all my rivals, even "muh Purrloin" and it has a lot of memorable characters that mostly don't annoy me)
>>24863752
Being a shitty character doesn't make you good. You can have a good character that you're meant to hate, but to say "you don't like the character which makes them good!" is fallacious.
Zinnia was not intended to be hated. She's painted almost unambiguously as a good guy other than when you first meet her and only know she's stealing Mega Stones. When she reveals her fucking retarded plan she's treated by the narrative as a good guy and Steven and the scientists as wrong, no ifs-ands-or-buts. When her plan fails only to be saved by you, she flies off into the sunset like she was always right. She's not deliberately written as unlikeable, she's just horribly written.
Contrast with someone like pic related, who makes abhorrent decisions that are treated as abhorrent in-universe but still have the right justification that you can't 100% disagree with him usually, an unpleasant attitude specifically made so you (and every character in-universe) will hate him, etc. You hate him for how he acts and what he does but he's well-written, you hate him for the things you're supposed to hate him for, and every abhorrent decision he makes has logic and reason to it, just not morality. Zinnia is fucking all over the place, she has like four different personalities, she just assumes her plan will work without consideration, and everything goes right with her on top due to an ass pull. There is a very clear difference between a character you hate and a character meant to be hated.
