What do you think the best generation of Pokémon is? My personal favorite is Gen 1, but I know that a lot of people will have different opinions on this. I never played in Gen 1, but all my favorite Pokemon were born in Gen 1, which is why I'm extra excited for Pokémon 151. What's your favorite generation?

    Bidoof, Luxray, and Lucario? (Plus Bastidon, Garchomp, and Munchlax!)

    I’ve gotta go Sinnoh

    For me, when I'm deciding on my favorite Gen, the starters are incredibly important to me. That's the thing about Sinnoh. I don't love any of the starters, except of course Peplum. He's the best. That's another reason I love Kanto so much, the starters have never gotten better since then.

    Sinnoh wins by a landslide, it has the best chanpion, best psudo, one of the best regional birds, and solid pokemon designs, second goes to Kalos for me

    Alola, mostly because I enjoyed seeing a too realistic toxic parent thanks to Lusamine (and Lillie's quiet, shy personality in the beginning is also just... It just makes so much sense after they talked before the Ultra Wormhole scene in Aether Paradise.)

    (The Aether family's story was just too much for this not to be my favourite generation.)

    Gen nine. Pokemon taking on the challenge of an open world brings me hope for the future. I'm wondering what kind of progress AI or a next gen will bring.

    I just noticed this post is for TCG. I came here from the hot topic board. Lol.

    The starting forms for Pokemon from Gen 5 were great, even if the final evolution is kinda trash (love u Conkledurr). You got Lillipup, Tepig, Oshawott, Deerling, Blitzle, Timburr, Patrat, Joltik, Golurk, Mienfoo, Rufflet, Foongus, Mincinno, Zorua, Archen, Dwebble, SEWADDLE (Best Bug Type Ever), Tympole, Drillbur, and Deino, and almost all of the Pokemon I just mentioned have some of the best designs for their final evolutions, with the exception of SEWADDLE, Mienfoo, and Timburr.

    Gen 5 also brought even better Pokemon, like Emolga, but I can't list them all, because nearly all of them are good.
