Gen 3 was the height of exploration in Pokemon, and only gen 7 may surpass it. Also had some of the best designs.

Gen 2 can die for all I care. Worst Gym Leaders, Worst Pokemon, and a region that is fondly remembered as "can't I get to Kanto from there?"

thanks for the idea anon, I've been really down recently

If 3 or 4 never existed Pokemon would not be in an identity crisis and have to pander to Genwun so hard right now so ir would probably best if everyone forgot they existed

Gen 2 was hot garbage all around

I honestly would not care if I forgot Gen IV. I don't remember much of it anyway

>>28213267

Gen 4 ina heartbeat

>>28213197
>height of exploration

Ew no.

Even Sinnoh was more fun to explore; rock climb was criminally underrated.

Johto was infinitely more fun to cruise around, because it was fucking fluid with the central area being the Sudowoodo tree. And it also had some fantastic places to explore, moreso in the remakes but still. If you thought Hoenn was fun to explore, you clearly never experienced the Ruins of Alph as a kid, or scaled Mt Silver (though that was wayyyyy more grand in HGSS). Or found the Lapras in the Slowpoke Well, or the days of the week

What was possibly more fun than that in Hoenn? Diving, where you could find a fucking Clamperl, or grind for a Relicanth? The braile that you could only figure out if you had or borrowed a guide?

>>28213058
7

Gen IV purely for introducing the cancerous Megas instead of giving normal evos or stats boosts to mons that needed them.

Gen V is a close second. I hate the linear region and a large proportion of the mons were shit or unnecessary.

>>28213363
I meant Gen VI

Gen VI or Gen III.
Gen III was just a mess to get around unless you had all HMs and both bikes on you consistently.
Gen VI was completely forgettable and just messed up the meta with Megas.

>>28213265
I hated it when it first came out.

>No Day/Night/Days of the Week
>No Cell Phone/Radio
>Lots of old Pokemon unobtainable

To name a few things.

A lot of the good features it added were not immediately apparent. The Gen has grown on me over time though.

>>28213353
genius

>forget about gen 7 until you see it release on launch day
>discover that you already have a fully paid-off pre-order when you go to purchase it

the best of days

>>28213265
Because in the grand scheme of things, they're fucking shit.

Disgusting tiles, average-good mon designs, nothing great, worst male protag in the whole series, didn't add the PS split, which is what was most desparately needed out of anything. I personally hate the music in all Gen 3 games, especially what they did with it in FRLG. Region design was fucking subpar. Removed the best feature ever implemented - being able to go back to old regions

It's the first one-step forwards two-steps back game in the whole series imo. DP was a bit like it, but it's more than redeemed by Platinum and HGSS. XY were definitely another one

>>28213363
>Gen V is a close second... a large proportion of the mons were shit or unnecessary.

Confirmed for too young to enjoy or appreciate what B/W were meant to be doing. It tried to recapture the magic of Pokemon, and to me at least, it did. Would've done a better job if the starters and early game mons didn't all have dogshit-looking final evos, but you can't win em all

6 without question

>>28213458
To be fair, THE good feature it added wasn't really that great till it got refined in DP

>>28213363
>I hate the linear region and a large proportion

You must hate most pokemon games because all of them are basically linear.
>You can't pass this point, you don't have a bike.

>Hey kid, this is our secret base, until something else happens we can't let you in.

The only thing gen V did was not hide it with smoke and mirrors, and even made fun of it at one point.
>We're dancing here for no particular reason.

>>28213530
To me it inspired most things latter gens had, so it's like if you hate 3 I don't see how you can like the ones that came after

1

Because everytime a new game is launched I'd immediately get reminded

6 is by far the worst in the series when it comes to in game content, if it wasn't for the models and a pretty decent selection of new pokemon it'd be a total waste

>>28213664
Yes, they all have some linearity, but Unova is the most linear in the franchise next to Kalos.

>>28213058

>>28213058
Gen 5 obviously. Shit had the absolute worst pokemon and the games were boring.

>>28213738
Fairy, megas and very few pokémon are all I can save from it. Otherwise, it's pure shit. NOTHING else. Oh wait, and Water E4.

Either Gen 7, so I can play Sun completely blind or Gen 1, so I can play through LeafGreen and experience the original generation brand new.

Gen IV
Shittiest pokemon designs, ridiculous plot, worst characters, pandering to casuals, remake of the worst games of the series.

Gen 3, easily. Shit time in my life, shit games.

>>28214033
But you still remember later pokemon games so you would hate leafgreen.

>>28214083
I've loved every Pokemon game, and like all Pokemon, so I very much doubt I would hate Leafgreen

V

>>28213324

Fucking this. Johto was just God tier exploration wise. The super rare Pokemon, day night cycle, optional islands and the day kids were reason enough that I'm not even sure if I found everything. And to top things off you got to revisit a reworked Kanto with all new secrets completely on its own.
Hoenn felt so unfinished and unsatisfying in comparison and to answer >>28213265
It was the generation that a lot of problems to the games that plagued the series. Removal of backwards compability, no second region, no removal of general features like rebattling trainers, the radio, the phone, forging your own Pokeballs, no day night cycle, ugly ass Pokemon designs and it started the cancerous shit with the evil team always trying to control the box legendary forcing you to encounter it instead of figuring out how to find it all on your own. It didn't feel like Pokemon anymore and it's no wonder it alienated a lot of fans.

And on top of that Hoenn was a pretty bland region. The routes were not interesting and surfing and diving were a pain in the ass. All in all you got an incredibly bland and boring region that removed a lot of features that made Pokemon Pokemon, couldn't use your old bros and felt utterly lacking in total. On the other hand it split the special stat and introduced double battles, so that's good. But it doesn't even compare to how much it ruined the franchrise

I think I've seen this thread before.

>>28213734

Precisely. Gen 3 marked the downfall of Pokemon. Gen 3 was shit, but so were 4 and 5. Gen 6 and 7 seem to go back to Pokemon's roots hence why a lot of "Genwunners" as you people like to call them return

>>28213160
I agree with you, I have trouble picking 6 pokemon that I like.

>>28214440
Worst fucking starters too. At least in other gens I can pick on I sort of like. Gen IV is the only time Ive boxed my starter.

>Gen 6 and 7 seem to go back to Pokemon's roots hence why a lot of "Genwunners" as you people like to call them return
Despite the fact that the series is in decline still. In any case genwunners still don't like them because they're not using their OG untouched 151 only.

The series was never this. Even then gen 3 was the most scientific of the three.

5. I liked the game at the time, but I could do without it. I don't care or even remember most of the Pokemon. There's a handful of cool ones like Haxorus and Hydreigon but as a whole, they're kind of forgettable. Also FUCK the fantastic 4 and the genies.

Gen II in a heartbeat

The only thing that can be called remotely hard is Cynthia. Even the BF was casualized in Platinum along with everything else that was brought from DP.
Vanilla BW2 was better in that regard especially since trainers used more than situs berries as hold items.

>>28215007
Two of those were me. The first and third. Try harder next time, it is actually possible for people to dislike Gen 3

Generation V. I only liked a handful of the Pokemon, even though it had the most released in a single generation.

I don't particularly hate any of the Pokemon, and I didn't hate the games either, but I don't want to just say "none".

>>28213129
RBY are pretty much THE best jrpg on the original gameboy.

>>28215550
Being the best doesn't make them good. Just that they were better than the alternatives.

>>28215594
Yeah, go on to an autoshow and tell them how their antique cars are shit because they don't compare with new cars. I'll wait.

Gen 5

I don't know if its the artwork or the initial sprites that later gens built upon, but I can't put my finger on why so many Unovamons feel so out of place from the rest of the series.

>>28215602
Excuse me? Do you even know what you're talking about?

And they would most likely agree that they were bad but a technological marvel as they were the first cars as people who aren't autistic usually do.

>>28215602
Anon, no one is comparing RBY to the new games.
They were shit RPGs at the time compared to previous RPGs.

They were only the best when compared to other RPGs on the gameboy itself. Ironically most of which were developed early on in the life of the Gameboy unlike pokemon which also had assistance from Ape Inc. or as they're called now, Creatures Inc.

You make some good points, but also make some really bad ones.

>forcing you to encounter it instead of figuring out how to find it all on your own
>no second region

Yea, exploration in hoenn was too transparent. Handing you everything was boring. I still thought the story was interesting, with the world being noticeably altered by the legendary. Only having your mascot in the game soured it too. Handing you one and hiding the other would have made that more palatable. It had only really a couple of well hidden areas, everything else was suggested and mapped out however....

>The routes were not interesting

Are you fucking kidding me? Hoenn has great diversity and paces it well too. Certainly when compared to kanto/johto. Sinnoh borrows so much from what Hoenn did.

>the radio, the phone, forging your own Pokeballs, no day night cycle

Thank fuck, time sink bullshit that was switched out in favor of other features. Who the fuck wants to wait till fucking tuesday to do shit they want to do in a game? Most of the kurt balls in gen 2 went worth farming for anyway. Gen 3 having different balls buyable was a better move.

>Removal of backwards compability

They tried to find a way to do it, there just wasn't. You find a way to get gameboy color and gameboy advance to communicate. It likely would have required some kind of special gameboy color-gamecube adapter and.... it sucked as far as having legacy pokemon teams, but it just couldn't be done feasibly.

The drop in sales was bigger in gen 2 than it was in gen 3 (although gen 2 didn't have remakes to pad sales up a bit), that being said who's really to blame for the further drop in sales in 3rd gen? The games themselves or the fact that the GBA sold far, far less than the GB/C? In fact, if you take # of consoles sold 4th and 5th gens were far worse, it only managed to get a small boost in sales despite being on the best selling handheld of all time.

All the people commenting gen V are the reason why the franchise has gone to shit past the point of no return with genwun pandering.

Gen 4 just because I genuinely have forgotten what may be the most forgettable and bland Pokémon generation to have existed so far.

But at the same time, Gen 5 has a fucking cancerous die-hard fanbase, much worse than Genwunners imo, so all in all:

2 > 3 > 1 > 6 > 5 > 4

>>28219215

Dropped it at 3. Tried to play 4 and 5 on an emulator from time to time to convince myself thatbthey weren't that bad. Never played longer than 5 hours on either before dropping them for good and forgetting that I ever played them.

Tossup between IV or VI for me. It's not so much the mechanics they introduced as it is the pokemon themselves, and the general feel of the overall games. IV and VI are just really boring replays to me. (though Platinum is ok)

Gen 1's only legacy is drama, drop it
