Best Generation
-> 5th
Worst Generation
-> 4th
You cant prove otherwise
but anon 6th generation was the worst
>>25939329
6th gen was tolerable
Not awful like Sinnoh
>>25939342
they were both awful
>>25939314
>>25939329
>>25939342
I'll take Sinnoh's comfy ass region over Kalos anyday
>>25939314
No. There is no best generation of Pokémon.
Platinum, HeartGold, SoulSilver... Literally the best gen.
>>25939329
6 was mediocre. Gen 4 was ruined by the horrible monster designs, pants on head retarded story, and music. I wanted to like sinnoh too. Its region was so large and explorable. Imo
>>25939376
4 was great, fuck off.
5 > 4 > 1 = 2 > 6 > 3
my opinion:
3>5>4>6>2>1
>>25939419
>5 > 4 > 1 = 2 > 6 > 3
This nigga gets it
>>25939314
I agree with this.
6>5>3>2>4=1
I hated 4. It was the only game that I actually played that made me fall asleep. It was just slow paced and overran boring.Hg/Ss were great though. I had the most fun playing black and white because I played through it blind
>>25939487
Right?
Pearl was the reason I took a break from Pokemon. Didn't get back into it until White came out.
4>3>6>2>5>1
Just played Platinum for the first time. Loved Sinnoh way more than I did when DP released.
Hoenn and Kalos are comfy, too.
Gen II was nice, even if Johto and Kanto (moreso Kanto) felt super empty. HGSS are great, though.
Currently playing through Black 2, and I really like it -- more than I remembered. I still don't like it as much as I want to, though. It was a giant circle.
Sorry, Gen I Kanto...you started it all, but you aged. Poorly. You're okay with nostalgia glasses on though.
Platinum and HGSS would be the best games in the series if the 4th gen engine and map design was actually good
>>25939314
Platinum fixed where DP fucked up so bad on. Gen 4 was pretty great.
Hoenn is the worst region
>>25939733
Played platinum. It didn't fix the soundtrack, the legendaries, stupid characters, or plot
>>25939314
YOUR OPINION TRIGGERS ME
I love 4th Gen. It was a comfy, cozy, awesome game, with an amazing soundtrack.
Same for Gen. 5, but it was more of a comfy feel in the sense that you were experiencing a whole world of new things and experiences in a bustling metropolis.
>>25939398
>Bad Music
Dude, what even
>>25939314
dumb digimonposter
>>25939787
Music was direction less and unmemorable, sometimes grating
>>25939487
A friend of mine let me play in his Diamond copy once.
The delay in between battle turns and moves is even worse than in the 3rd gen TBQH. Maybe it was because I was already used to White, but the slow pace of the game overall made me lose patience real quick.

Lol, but in seriousness, I do see what you mean. At a certain point a majority of the mainland Sinnoh routes sound the same. Story was taking it'self too seriously.
>>25939738
Hoenn was shit when it came out and shit when it was remade. There are like one or two good lines. Aggron and Flygon. Shit music and shit legendaries.

Riddle me this nostalgia fag, why would a genius think he could tame a god that could shred reality apart, and why did the most powerful trainer in the region sit and watch from the sideline?
All the 14 legendaries of gen 4 were stupid. Water type for no reason mecha dragon dildomon, groundons shit, myley Cyrus Mon, edgerai, and 5 fae legendaries that were basically the same children's doodle.
>>25939893
Regigigas was cool though.
>>25939314
I wouldn't call it the worst, but gen 4 is certainly the most forgettable generation for me. Out of all the pokemon games, Platinum is the only one I haven't had the desire to go back and replay. Doesn't help that I only liked two soundtracks and only a handful of the new pokemon.
>>25939893
You still haven't provided an evidence, mindless shitposting is all you can add to this bait thread I guess.
Good thing you have started the legendary meme description, too bad it works both ways and gen 5 legendaries definitely get it even worse when it comes about describing them.
>>25939876
It is directionless. Too much discord and embellishment for music a pokemon game where you're going to be listening to those tracks play a lot. There's a small handful of tracks I liked and its neat that it changed with time of day.
Best region: Sinnoh
Most comfy: gentoo
Best dex: genwun
Best meta: Gen 5 Ubers
most underrated/underutilized feature: Dive
>>25939891
What're you going to do about it?
it's official, unovaborts are the new nostalgiafags that can't accept the fact both previous to gen 5 and the following gens are now stealing attention from their shithole region and mediocre games, they will be the first to accuse of nostalgia but will ignore on purpose that people didn't even bother to replay these games until gf was forced to release bw2 upon several complainments about the poor and pathetic dex and gameplay
>>25939942
I don't like gen 5 legendaries. Doesn't excuse gen 4 which had 14 of the stupid fuckers
>>25939977
checking those dub dubs
>>25939984
If you're triggered so much about the ammoung of legendaries than why you ignore the 13 legendaries from Gen 5?
13 legandaries excluding their forms, if you consider their forms they do even surpass Gen 4 in terms of quantity and most of them can't even brag about good design and utility either.
If those were such a felt problem I think their number would have been redimension by now and by the following gen.
>>25940058
Because gen 5 was actually good. It had other redeeming qualities. Plus, ya know, gen 4 started this legendary bullshit.
>>25940078
I give Platinum and HGSS the competitive redeeming (actual good rematches and league) quality and music then as well as the good aesthetics in mapping and tilesets.
Gen 5 started the 4 mons Elite 4 meme and the limited gym leader teams.
>>25940134
HGSS is separate. Gen 5 had good postgame and the elite 4 theme was cool. Although the story was dumb, at that point gen 4 killed my expectations already, and I was just happy the story wasn't as bad. Gen 5 had decent music but gen 4 had poor music IMO. The gen 5 legendaries weren't all bad but there were a lot of bad but not nearly and completely as bad as gen 4 which also made the mistake of making those bad legendaries gods of space time and everything.
>>25939314
There is no definitive best or worst generation. Each generation has its own pros and cons.
Gen 6 is piss easy, but it has trainer customization, Pokemon Amie, and introduced a lot of really great pokemon. However, it also introduced 3D sprites, some of which are great, and some of which nearly ruin some pokemon with how bad they are (See: Xatu).
Long story short, I can't personally say that I truly loathe any one generation, and it's hard to rate any one generation as a whole. But, here's my ranking based on how much I enjoyed the games.
5>3>2>4>6>1
But that's not to say that Gen 1 is bad; it's just that it's been improved upon extremely vastly. Saying that Gen 1 isn't, from a technical standpoint, the worst generation, is silly. X/Y are painfully easy, but they introduce many new mechanics; even while the single-player experience wasn't good, the generation as a whole added a lot to the Pokemon series. Gen 4 may be slow, but it still had far better singleplayer gameplay than Gen 6. Not to mention, it introduced wi-fi battles. Gen 3 is mostly due to personal preference; I'm aware of its many flaws, but I loved the contests and the secret bases and all that extra stuff.
tl;dr I'm not leniant on "___ generation is best!" and to think that anyone who doesn't share your opinion is wrong is silly.
>>25939838
>>25940243
you can force your hacks as much as you want, deviantart, but you will never be accepted by the pokemon community or noticed by nintendo
>>25939314
3>2>1>4>6>5
>>25940266
Except for the fact that Pokemon Black, Pokemon White, Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2 were all created by Game Freak and published by Nintendo.
>>25940294
That's pretty much exactly how i feel, except i would swap 3 and 2 (they are very close for me). Crystal and Emerald are still the best two games.
>>25940233
>introduced a lot of really great pokemon
>a lot
cmon now.
>>25939314
4 = 3 > 5 > 2 = 1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 6
>>25940363
Would you say a majority of Gen 6 pokemon are bad? A lot of them are pretty unique.
Unless you're saying that Gen 6 didn't introduce a lot of pokemon, in which case yeah, that's pretty fucking lame and is a major reason as to why it's one of my least favorite.
>>25939419
This
Gen 4 has some amazing music, it's pretty much the ultimate version of "classic" style pokemon music. From gen 5 onwards, it has been very different, and not for the better. Shota Kageyama is the single worst thing to happen to the franchise. Fuck that guy.
I like that they tried to switch up the formula and design a bit for gen 5, but the end result was underwhelming. Gen 6 was certainly an improvement, although I don't think we are quite back to pre-gen 5 levels of quality yet.

>>25940398
Not him but I'm pretty happy with gen 6's pokedex. Not a whole bunch of filler but that's fine by me.
I think maybe GF realized that they can't just but every dumbass intern's design into the game because it will always be part of the franchise. Pic related.
>>25939314
eternal reminder that gen 5 is the worst abomination to ever be released inthe history of pokemon
>>25939314
Completely backwards
Fourth gen was the best with GOAT games like Platinum and the gen 2 remakes
Meanwhile Black and White were fucking awful, linear pieces of shit full of pointless dialogue and scripted events, the worst games in the entire series that caused a lot of longtime fans to quit pokemon

>>25940475
This thing should have been a 1 stage pokemon
>>25940481
Gen 4 caused a lot b of old fans to quit. Bw2 are three most polished games. Gen 4 had it's fair share of scripted events and forced you down it's dumb story points
gbc 2nd gen was the best and had the only decent gameflow with a good ending to gen1.
Worst in my opinion had to be fucking Either both gen 3 games or 6. Gen 3 was ass backwards and fucked everything up.
>>25942621
Music was just OK. Nothing special.
Legendaries were bad but not nearly as bad as gen 4s
The starters were the worst
Not a lot of gameplay additions but it had a lot of features and polished up everything
>>25942731
I played platinum and it sucked. Many people here did and still hated gen 4.
>Cyrus so crazy
Ghestis literally tried to kill the protag but both of these characters are poorly written gf messes. Cyrus and all of team galactic were pants on head retarded and forced

The first two admin battles in Platinum are better than any admin battle from any other game.
>>25947533
Gen 5 fags have no victim complex. Seriously the only group with a victim complex is gen 4 fags
As they should because everyone else thinks gen 4 was shit. You bring up gen 4 being bad in any context and gen 4 fags will start claiming everything else everyone says is worse. Exp:
>gen 4 sucks but HGSS was great

Been here since /v/. The most inconvenient Truth for sinnohfetuses is that they are still salty that it was the hype from hgss that created this board and some gen 4's spot light.
>>25939314
When was the last time you played Red or Blue, OP? Just curious.
>>25947814

Blue, have played every generation since.
>>25940475
Not really helping your case.
>>25947848
There is none. Its made up by sinnohfetuses in this thread because the context of this thread was that gen 4 a shit, gen 5 da shit. If this was a hgss vs dppt thread, you can be sure someone would claim hgss fags have a victim complex. Same with rse vs dppt
>>25947851
And you honestly think gen 4 is the worst when you haven't played those "childhood classics" for almost 2 decades?
>>25947872
If you didn't start with Blue version your opinion literally does not matter desu
>>25947885
>mfw Yellow
>>25947884
Honestly yes. I'd play rby or gsc before dppt again. The characters, story, music, and monsters annoys the hell out of me. Gameplay wise, yes gen 4 is leagues better than those outdated games but I'd have to hate myself to put myself through that torture again. If I wasn't the gameplay of gen 4, I'll just stick to hgss. It's too bad too, sinnoh as a region had a lot of potential.

Whatever you're on, OP, reduce the dosage.
>>25939342
Snnoh was my favorite, though.
It and Kalos were the only region I actively liked, as all the others felt to uninspired to distinguish themselves from other games, especially things like the overworld's design and music. I'll admit that a lot o the mons were kinda ugly, but I don't think either will ultimately prove more forgettable than Johto or (scalarly speaking) Unova.
Since I actively do not understand this, would someone mind explaining why it is that the other generations are considered to be superior?
>>25947985
I had more fun playing Gen 6.
Sorry my opinion makes you uncomfortable.

In response to the anon I was replying to that used accepted events as reasoning that gen 5 was the worst. I was reminding him that gen 4 did it and the story sucked balls. Take issue with him, not me
>>25939314
You know, a lot of times people just say X Gen is better than X Gen but in all honesty what are we actually arguing here? Games? Pokémon? Mechanics? Story? Design? Etc? Like be more fucking specific.
And regardless each generation has its pros and cons vs other gens.
>>25947941
Mine goes
4>6>5>1>3
Although I realize that I just really dislike the admittedly okay aesthetic choices of BW on a personal level, so it might've scored higher otherwise.
As for Gen III, I just don't get it. Felt like Kanto 2: electric boogaloo to me. Is it just nostalgia for the people who played it first?

Me too, but what does that have to do with my post?
You don't have to bring up gen 4 to defend Gen 5 or Unovabortions.

and
>no battle frontier
Did I miss my chance?
I didn't play the Gen 5 games when they were the current thing.
And every time I try to play my copies of White/Black 2, I just don't get the sense of wonder or thrill a lot of people seem to regard the games with.
They aren't bad, but they feel sort of unremarkable. I also wasn't a huge fan of how they really didn't even try to integrate previous pokemon into the main portion of the game. I guess It was trying to be some kind of hard reboot for pokemon? But it just seems kind of stubborn to me.
Is there some special way you have to play gen 5 to get a kick out of it or something? As Is, I wouldn't really put it above Gen 4.
>>25948003
>thinking that your subjecive opinion is a way to prove someone wrong
That's not how things work,anon.
>>25948964
Because both just looked like a mix of grass tall grass andwater tiles to me. Some of the special locations were okay (I liked that little town suspended on planks in the middle of the water route to the southeast, Mt Pyre and birth island), but no individual environment in those games felt particularly memorable, especially when compared to non-pokemon rpgs of the same era.
>>25949168
To be fair he would have destroyed the universe, o there's really no half-way on that. Also Gym leader's rosters and avaliable niche pokemon types (and yes, fire is niche) seem like pretty petty complaints, versus the atmosphere the game gave us. Slow surfing contributed to that atmosphere, but people ignore it because ruby and saphire, their first games, didn't do the same. If you go in with expectations from other RPGs rather than other pokemon games, D/P seem much more polished, whereas Platinum was a step away from all that D/P tried to accomplish, which is why it ended up just being meh for me.
