Best pokemon generation

>>30851402
Seems like gen II and VII are the most well-liked generally speaking.

>>30851402
lol wtf is going on with gen5.
Is it good or bad ?

>1 and 6 are shit
>5 is very split
>4 on top because of hgss/ pt
sounds like /vp/ alright

>>30851435

I can see that. If it wasn't for the civil war between genfives and genfours the results would probably look a lot different.

>Gen V the most polarizing

Yup

>IV is the highest
Not surprised. That was the first gen of the majority of current /vp/ after all.

>>30851464
yeah this sounds about right

>>30851467
why cant people like both? they offer different experiences but that doesnt mean they are necessarily bad.

>>30851456
People either hate it or love it. It's a very polarized gen. It's personally one of my favorite gens.

>>30851456
It's polarizing. People who like it really like it and people who hate it really hate it.

>>30851464
Explorers too

I can't put Gen 4 above gen 5. DP was shit and had to be redeemed by Pt while BW/BW2 were both stellar.

>>30851402
>Gen V is both the second most liked generation and the second most hated generation
People who played both BW 1 & 2 vs. People who didn't.

>>30851402
>4>5>2>7>3 for best

This is exactly correct.

The next game will determine if 7 goes up but right now its just truth

>>30851513

And people that really like it have a bad tendency to be overbearing autists that shit up discussion of all other gens because they DARED to include Pokemon from Gen I somewhere.

>>30851402
If we go by absolute results the positions would be :
Gen4>Gen7>Gen2>Gen3>Gen5>Gen1>Gen6

>>30851563
You say that like we didn't just have 10 threads repeatedly shitting on gen 5 yesterday. Like I said, it's polarizing and goes to the extreme in both cases.

>>30851563
As someone who likes making comparison threads for discussion, its usually the anti-gen V people who shit up threads

>>30851591

Yes, other fans have finally had enough of the genfivers.

>>30851481
As opposed to your first gen being III, like that's any better

>>30851572
Gen 7 is doing good.

>>30851563
oh yeah, because only gen V lovers shut down conversation and that can noo way be contributed to any autistic shitlord that likes any gen. see >>30851611

I hope this shit can put the discussion to an end of who is the most liked generation on /vp/.
Gen5 is exactly how I imagined. if unovabortions werent shoving bw2 up everyones throat every week they would have fared better.

I'd say my favorite is Gen4, but I also really liked Gen5. They're both very good. BW wasn't as bad as people remember and B2W2 improved on everything annoying, while DP had gross technical problems that Pt had to fix which didn't give it as much room to do something totally different.

I hope instead of a remake Gen 4 gets a sequel like B2W2. They dabbled with the idea with the whole 'Delta Episode' bullshit in ORAS, but I want Cyrus to fuse with Ultraspace Arceus and open worm holes all over Sinnoh threatening to crash the dimensions into each other.

That's fine if you think it's the worst, but claiming that it's the least liked generation is pretty dumb. And I do remember how slow it is, Platinum and HGSS are slow but not nearly unplayable like DP

>>30851798

I'd say those are the three biggest conveniences that have been added that also prevent players from going back.

Ultra beasts aren't legendaries. Try again.
Also, remakes don't count. The fact that Johto is the best region doesn't make DP any less shit.
Also, you can blame gen 4 for gen 6's powercreep.

>>30851402
Most of /vp/ are sinnohfetus and unovabortions, so no surprise.

>>30851402
I remember the time when Gen IV was less liked. Now it's the favorite Generation? It was really unmemorable. The best part about it was HG/SS. Sinnoh in general was just really boring, but Platinum at least made it less boring.

You need two HMs slaves for half of Hoenn. In Platinum, you need two for the Distortion World and that's it.

Don't worry, give it a gen or two and the Zelda cycle will make you guys the most vocal population. Nobody actually likes Gen 4, they're just following the tradition.

>>30852263
Its stupid bandwagon meme.
When it came out everyone was praising it.

>>30852214
The first three Generations bugged me because nobody ever chose the third starter. Generation I didn't let you see Venusaur if you chose Charmander, Generation II didn't let you see the entire third starter line at all, and Generation III didn't let you see the entire third starter line or the final evolution of your rival's starter.

Generation IV actually let you see all the Pokémon in the Sinnoh Dex without trading.

Platinum and HGSS really carry Gen 4 as a whole, it's kind of surprising considering how trash DP was.

>>30851968
Yes, but gen 4 had HGSS which is what I was referring to.

>>30852362
Because the zelda cycle talks about the most recent game anyways. According to your shitty cycle, Gen 6 should be the best and Gen 5 the worst along with 7. This is never going to happen.

I don't really care about /vp/'s opinion of it. The battles were insanely slow (tanky Pokemon were particulary insufferable as their health bar would take age to go down) and travel was an all time annoying, mainly due to sluggish travel speed and overreliance on HMs, particulary during Mt Coronet. While Pokemon is clearly not known for good plots, DP was particulary bad at it, very weak villain team with even more nonsensical plot than Aqua / Magma's retarded ideas, and even the climax just feels really dull. It had also a shit rival with Barry, very weak new Pokemons (a huge chunk of the new evolutions are particulary hideous, what the fuck did they think with Electivire?) and the beginning of legendary inflations.

Cynthia was hot and a very decent battle, but overall they were really slow and uninteresting games to go through. I kinda wonder how well Gen 6 would be recieved if there was a Pokemon Z, considering how much people like Platinum here overall.

>>30852641
If you were born between the 80s and '95 then you're a millennial. No millenial is underage at this point, since part of Gen Z is already reaching adult age.

Chances are, you're a millenial. I HIGHLY doubt that many people over the age of 30 even browses 4chan.

Kill yourself. And again; level 40 as opposed to level 49+. Obviously the attacks will be weaker. Did you forget that the elite four comes at the midpoint of HGSS and not the end?

>>30852437
Also platinum had the distortion world, but in the end I see it the same way. There was quite a bit of surfing in DPPt, so maybe that's the main reason, but i only see platinum as slightly improving an already great game

Then again, that slight improvement is why people voted Pt higher than DP. If all 3 are good, but one is slightly better, why wouldn't you vote for the better one? People just like to hop on the bandwagon of DP being shit when in reality they're only slight downgrades of Pt.

>The peak of useless HM moves that you need multiple HM slaves for
Any region with more than 4 HMs (aka ALL OF THEM) need multiple HM slaves. In Platinum, I had a Gyarados and Tropius to cover all eight HMs, but you need a minimum of two HM slaves in every other game as well.

>Ten million stupid legendaries
What's wrong with legendaries? I love tracking them down in all the secret areas of the region.

>Ruined other Pokémon by having good Pokémon
Is this a real complaint? Power creep is practically inevitable in most ongoing competitive games, especially with the introduction of new mechanics. People complain whenever something mew isn't taking full advantage of new mechanics.

>Rival with a weak starter and handholding
But there isn't? And Generation IV is known for being more difficult than most other generations

>Only lets you bring over 6 Pokémon from Gen III every 24 hours
You specifically mentioned RSE though, so I can see where your bias is.

>Worse than Team Magma/Aqua
Nobody knew that Cyrus was fucking crazy though. When Saturn finds out that Cyrus was going to destroy the universe and everyone in it and create a new one in his own image without spirit, he realizes that Cyrus is nuts. Everyone working for Cyrus thought that they were going to become all-powerful with Dialga/Palkia on their side (and also something about having a new energy source that they can control), but they didn't realize his true goals.

Team Magma and Aqua thought that by getting rid of all water/land, the environment would be better for Pokémon. That makes no fucking sense. Everyone would drown or die of dehydration. Most ecosystems would be destroyed. How do you know so little about the thing you want to protect?

>>30852983
Team Aqua/Magma don't want to get rid of all land/water, they want to increase the size of the sea or land, respectively. They just don't realize that Groudon and Kyogre can't be controlled.

>>30852690
>I kinda wonder how well Gen 6 would be recieved if there was a Pokemon Z, considering how much people like Platinum here overall.
It would obviously received better, but Platinum was a huge improvement compared to DP, so Z would have needed to be even a bigger improvement to save gen 6... and looking at ORAS I doubt it would meet the requirements

>>30852180
Wouldn't the unova rivals and companion be switched?

>>30853061
No, they're all your rivals. N isn't really rival (technically) but he kinda counts as one since he's a recurring character you challenge.

>>30851402

That seems really high for Gen 2. What gives it such a strong draw for people that they consider it the best? Is it just the whole "two regions" thing?

I wonder how different the chart would be if it was just the first two games of every gen; a lot of people in the voting thread who liked Gen 4 were saying that Diamond and Pearl were awful, and I feel like I've seen people put B2W2 way above Black and White, as well.

>>30853015
They were going to force a volcano to erupt to expand the land/sea (I still don't understand how it can do both), but doing so would kill pretty much all the life living around the volcano, like the forests and towns, and turn it into a wasteland. That wouldn't make more water. It wouldn't make more land either. It would just make the already-existing land more desolate.

What the fuck was Team Aqua doing at a volcano in the first place?

>>30853119
Beats me. I just remember that their intention was what I said and that they realize they fuck up when Groudon and Kyogre wake up.

That was Platinum, who expended his goals and insanity and as a result made him more entertaining.
In DP, he just throws you boring lines you'd see right out of Silver's playbook and seeks to become God using Dialga / Palkia who wil create a new world, with the former part being shared by everyone in his Team. Magma / Aqua were completely retarded, yes, but Galaxy in DP is really just a generic redux of them.

>>30853328
>Galaxy in DP is really just a generic redux of them.
This is why XY sucked. Team Flare was yet another rehash of them. I appreciate gen 5 and 7 for trying to do something different with the story.

Well 3rd gen has gone down a bit because of ORAS although they were 6th gen.

>>30853478
Used to be very split between 3rd and 4th gen, with 3rd on top even.

After ORAS being shit, 3rd genfags lost face and newcomers started disliking it.
5th genfags are the only ones who can face up to 4th genfags in numbers now.

>>30853478
Zelda Cycle is real. /tr/ hated Ruby and Sapphire at the time.

>>30853567
I'm talking about years before that. They got remade in the first place because of fan demand that popped up after most people hated them. Similar to how everyone seemed to hate gen 4 and now likes it

Outside of how overrated 3 is (but I know exactly why), pretty spot-on.

>>30851481
When the Gen IV remakes come out, everyone will slowly move to Gen V being their favorite.

>>30853614
Can't wait for a few years down the line when eveyrone suddenly loves 6th gen.

>>30853628
>but I know exactly why
Why?

>>30851402
>That divisiveness with Gen V
Truly poetic for a game themed around opposing ideal.

>>30853643
That's never going to happen

VI is the worst gen; GF let power creep skyrocket for the sake of really selling the 3D pokemodels meme.

IV is objectively the "best" generation because that's when they introduced the special/physical split, which opened up great typing combinations that weren't gimped with useless STABs.

I can't say that VII has done a great job other than being better than VI. There's a lot that GF needs to get a handle on, and I don't think they'll accomplish much without either revamping the speed stat or taking a new philosophy on slow pokemon and durability.

They also haven't bothered to make Ice a less shitty type to be; I'm guessing this is because it's such a great move type to use.

However, any gen in which they scrap the IV breeding will be the renowned as the greatest generation of pokemon, because nobody enjoys IV breeding. IV breeding is responsible for 99% of people who are using powersaves.

>>30853772
Well it's happened to 3rd and 4th gen so far.

>>30852366
The fact that they reverted back to his RS team in ORAS really annoyed me.

>>30853772
it will just wait

>>30853833
3rd and 4th gens had redeeming qualities. 6th gen doesn't.

>>30853478
People who started with gen 4 are old enough to post here, and there's always people who like a gen regardless of the majority opinion.

>>30853901
It does to the child who played it as their first game and will start posting on the internet in 10 years.

>>30853800
VII would've been great if they hadn't trashed Gengar.

But seriously, their new take on slow, tanky mons is astoundingly bad. Half these slow mons cant even afford to take a hit, let alone hit back with their nonexistant movepools and awkward offensive stats

in five years VII is going to be considered the best gen

>>30853901

This. Sequels are a smart way of both reviving nostalgia with all the small references to old characters and introduce new mechanics and mons to an older gen. They should have done this for Hoenn IMO.

>>30854047
I started with II, and I still think IV is the best (though having HGSS helps it out).

Gengar needed a nerf.

He misrepresents how good poison types are in the current meta; by which I mean that they're shit.

Once he can be quake checked, maybe GF will make poison types that aren't shit.

>>30854184
At least water has a good movepool.

The rock movepool is dogshit outside of signature moves.

>>30855873
They did make a poison type that wasn't shit, it's name was Gengar you fucking dip.

Also, the genies are still more deserving of a ban than any other mon in the game

If theres one thing ive learned in my life its that polls literally mean nothing

>1% chance for trump to win

>>30851563
Someone literally bought ad space on this board to put up a message shitting on gen5 fans despite it being one of the most loved gens

If that doesnt show you anything then i dont know what will

4 is by far the best gen.
Plat is great
HGSS>GSC

>>30855955
Polls are always conducted in selective groups. here we only asked /vp/.
If we go by world red and blue would win.
Thats the problem of polls but since we only care about the boards opinion this is the end result.

>>30855948
If a poison type can't be not shit unless it's immune to ground, spikes, and normal so it can spinblock more safely than anything else in the game, then poison is a shit type that needs a lot of work on its movepool, which is pretty shit as well.

If they improve the poison movepool, then Fairy gets a big nerf. Fairy is so good because both Steel and Poison are DOGSHIT offensively. All the powerful Steel and Poison type moves belong to niche pokemon or a very small handful of pokemon. Try to pick up a physical Poison move that isn't poison jab, or a Steel type move that isn't Iron Tail and the occasional Flash Cannon. Even Sludge Wave and Sludge Bomb are limited to very few pokemon, almost none of them sweeper potential.

Poison as a type is good defensively, but there are few Poison types with bulk.

>>30856047
The polls here are always different.

>>30851402
Gen II and IV are the best according to /vp/. Gen V is the most polarizing and gen VI is the most unanimously hated. Big surprise there

>>30856146
>gen II
>good

GenII is fucking awful in retrospect.

>>30851402
I refuse to accept there are this many faggots in the world who think Generation V was bad. And I also refuse to believe that Generation IV got so many vote. This was, without a doubt, leaked onto Reddit.

>>30856162
>GenII is fucking awful in retrospect.
it carried gen4 to win this poll just go check the individual game poll. hgss votes says it all. Unova should have won.

>>30856075
>If a poison type can't be not shit
Nigger what. A poison type without levitate isn't bad, but considering how frail GENGAR is, it benefits a lot more from an ability that lets in switch in to a VERY common type more often and give it an immunity to a weakness

>Fairy is so good because both Steel and Poison are DOGSHIT offensively
That's the fucking point. They increased the viability of Poisons and Steels. Thats why Gengars and Magnezones now run Sludge and Flash Cannon, thereby increasing the viability of those types.

>Try to pick up a physical Poison move that isn't poison jab, or a Steel type move that isn't Iron Tail and the occasional Flash Cannon

The same logic applies to pretty much any other type. Name a good physical flying move that isnt Brave Bird. A good ground move that isnt Equake or Epower. A good ghost move that isn't Shadow Ball

>>30856196
It got shared around for sure.

You still would have the third lowest ranking, retard. Gen 5 is simultaneously the second most hated generation.

>>30856162
>>30856198
What happened is that gen II and IV complement each other. Diamond and Pearl suck just like Gold and Silver, but between the remakes and Platinum they balance each other, creating probably the best games of the franchise. Gen V is the most polarizing because it's the best content-wise but design-wise it has a lot of mistakes and many people consider it's dex as the ugliest.

>>30856282

Enjoy being cucks and overshadowed by johtotoodlers.

>>30856211
Most poison types are bad. Gengar is still good because he's fast; levitate just put him over the top. He'll still be OU.

They didn't increase the viability of poison or steel offensively, they just made a new type that's a defensive god.

The point about the movepools isn't that every type has a prolific movepool for sweepers, it's that poison and steel, fairy's only two weaknesses, have shit for off type sweepers. It's why is so strong defensively.

>Ice Beam
>Earthquake
>Stone Edge
>Rock Slide
>Shadow Ball
>Flamethrower
>Thunderbolt
>FIGHT
>NORMAL
>Wild Charge
>Signal Beam
>Psychic/Psyshock

Most types offer a powerful move for either or both physical and special that a large pool of pokemon can learn. Poison and Steel are not among them.

Without naming Arceus or Gengar, name a poison type pokemon that's very good.

Holy shit you must be a basement dweller if you seriously believe this. Gen 5 is without a doubt the most hated generation. Even here on /vp/ it's the second most hated generation, and that's because this place was known as unovabortion central not even that long ago. Also, the fact that you can't seem to accept other people not agreeing with your opinion points to the likelihood of you having autism.

Pokemon cycle at work

>>30856196

I voted gen 5 as worst. not because I think its bad, but because there's really nothing memorable I can say I liked about it that wasn't done better in another gen. The only thing gen 5 did different was add a whole bunch of pokemon and tried the whole "starting fresh" thing, which failed because half the designs are retarded and were ripoffs/direct counterparts to gen 1.

>>30856196
I thought reddit was genwun central.
