Kind of difficult to say, because every generation has some good designs and some truly awful ones. I think on balance I would say either Generation III or V has the highest number of designs I dislike the most, but those are both larger generations, so there are bound to be more in there on that basis. Although with Generation V a lot of them were designed to be replacements or parallels to older Pokemon and they...didn't do a very good job with it. The Timburr line is clearly designed to evoke the Machop line and they're awful, Throh/Sawk are reminiscent of Hitmonlee/Hitmonchan and the less said about them the better, and so on. I do like the Roggenrola line quite a bit, though. But Gen V also introduced the elemental monkeys, the Swords of Justice, has the weakest Normal/Flying early route bird design, the least appealing two-stage Normal-type rodent in Patrat/Watchog, and...well, it's easier for me to think of Pokemon from Gen V I dislike rather than ones I like.
I think the Gen IV is the worst in this regard. I think they tried way too hard to make everything as cool for the young generation as possible and it resulted in some funny designs. Especially the new evolution lines for older Pokémon. I still can't understand what were they thinking, when they made them.
On the other hand, I generally like Pokémon designs since Gen VI.

It’s a toss up between generation I, generation II and generation VIII for me. I think a lot of Kantonian Pokémon are a tad boring, and have been completely over saturated throughout the Pokémon franchise’s history, as many receive unwarranted favouritism. I also am of the opinion that Pokémon from Johto are a bit bland or unmemorable as well, and there are few that rank high on my list of favourite Pokémon overall. Generation 8 introduced my least favourite starters to date, and while there were some fabulous Pokémon introduced, there were some lacklustre ones as well. In comparison to other generations, these three fall flat, though I wouldn’t necessarily say any are bad, not at all.

forgetable? Same generation as lucario, garchomp, gallade, all the legendaries and mythicals and FORGETABLE?!? I just dont agree with that at all man. Also feel like im the only one that likes magmortar
I agree with you Sinnoh probably has the best designs in my opinion (why do people dislike Magmortar so much he is pretty cool in my book)

Think its because as a fire type its pretty poor stat wise. Looks wise its great

I actually agree with the Johto statement, solely because a lot of the pokemon introduced in gen 2 felt unfinished for me. I do have my favorites like Scizor, Espeon, Umbreon, Ampharos, Tyranitar, the Johto starters and Ursaring, but you got pokemon like Aipom, Noctowl-line, Sentret-line, Ledian-line, Ariados-line, Jumpluff-line, Dunsparce, Delibird, and baby pokemon. Many of these gen 2 designs felt like filler or pokemon that simply did not make the cut for gen 1. These birds, spiders, lady bugs, cotton-mons, punching bags, and dunsparce felt like they lacked something. I am under the bias of loving what gen 4 did with several of the Johto-mons by giving them new evolutions because gen 4 was my introduction to pokemon.
Weren't Johto Pokémon made with the idea of being simpler designs because they wanted to make plushes of them? I recall a developer saying something like that in an interview, and about how they wanted to start testing waters with more bizarre and risky designs in Gen 3.
I find the simplicity in Johto's design quite charming for the most part. Think it's fine if different gens try to somewhat experiment with different styles (as long as they don't stray too far)

I don't know about other people, but this is not my reasoning at all. I find its design to be hideous, and that's purely why I dislike it. I had no idea there were people who actually liked it design. Interesting. To each their own.

It’s interesting because I’m quite fond of the baby Pokémon, the Jumpluff-line, and some of the other Pokémon you mentioned.My favourite from Johto is Espeon, though, undoubtably. I do like the majority of Generation 2 Pokémon, but most I regard with indifference.
Also I do like Magmortar, it’s much better design-wise than Magmar. Magmar is atrocious.

I liked Gen 1 and 2, but Gen III had some of the more surreal pokemon design (Wingull's evolution into Pelipper) for example
