gen 2. I had so much fun with the storyline and new pokemon in that. I was all ready to get pokemon sapphire, bought it with the money i'd saved up, and after a half an hour of playing, i turned off the game crying. THe storyline made me so sad, it just wasn't any fun, and the pokemon were beyond dissapointing. all it was were a bunch of little gimmiks and features you used maybe once the whole game. then i bought FRLG, which, in my opinion, wasn't as much fun as the original version. then i made the mistake of buying diamond. More horrible pokemon, more gimmiks and 'features', and another horrible storyline.

also, i like how the champion in gen 2 had a good part in the plot. and i like being able to go to both johto and kanto regions. whereas in the other ones, you can't go anywhere. and i like how it was obvious Nintendo actually cared about their devoted, loving fans. BUt that's all out the window now.

Damn nintendo.

Generation 2 is my favorite, by far.

It had a great storyline, awesome starters, a rival that actually acted like a rival (I'm looking at you, Gen 3 >:C ) the ability to go to Johto and Kanto, plus some really nifty new Pokemon, and an actual solution to the first generation's Psychic balance problem.

Gen 2 is probably the best but, gen 1 & 3 are my favorite
gen 4 is good but It couldnt really hold my attention like the other gens.

Well my idea of which generation is best is spilt between the actual pokemon in the generation and game mechanics. If we go by just the pokemon then I'm going to have to go with Generation 1. Even when I pick pokemon I would have with me I'd prefer to have more pokemon from this generation. I like how they look.

If we go by just game mechanics then I have to go with Generation 2. This one started the time of day and week systems. I loved that idea and I wish they would create a remake of this series.

Generation II. I loved the ability to go back to Kanto. It was also fun to see how places and people changed, like the new E4, the gym leader changes, and battling Red in Mt. Silver at the end. It was also the first time my sister and I got to play together, since we had a GBA and a GBC and a connector cable by then. I lost a bunch to my sister's Red Gyrados (since the only Pokemon I trained was my Typhlosion and it was level 100 and I loved it) until I discovered the TM for Thunder Punch. Then she wouldn't play with me anymore :<

I also loved the starter Pokemon... or at least Chikorita and Cyndaquil. The rival was the most interesting rival so far - I loved wondering when he would appear next~ It was also the first generation where I could say I was a girl :'D And it had that night/day thing... and the radio! That was fun. Oh, and getting those custom Pokeballs by handing in Apricots was somehow fun to me as well. And the other berries had such helpful names... it's much easier to remember that a PSNCUREBERRY cures poison than a Pecha berry.

oh that jerk! emil, set it on fire.

Ah. I get warm inside seeing so many choose Gen2 :3

It gets my vote too. It simply did so much to the Pokémon world, it added onto the Gen1 games so much that wasn't weird or plastic, but needed and plain awesome. Such as held items, berries of some kind, eggs and babies, plus the day/night system and weekday system... oh, it's simply still something that really makes pokemon Pokémon.

Gen 4.

I've said this time and time again, but I found Gen 2 to be a giant band-aid to Gen 1 more than anything else; much like an expansion, if you will. By itself, Gen 2 blows chunks; with the support of Gen 1 Pokemon and Kanto to explore, that's where the fanbase is justified in saying it's the best.

Gen 4 might have had uninspired Pokemon, but there wasn't the abundance of water. Plus, you can catch virtually anything there. Best plot also is a plus, because there wasn't any part of it that was overly tedious, with little rewards and more of a hike than an actual quest (Gens 2 and 3, looking at you here >______________>)

Gen 4's evolutions were also a very sexy band-aid to some of Gen 2's biggest flops (Aipom, Gligar and Sneasel, looking at you...without even thinking of anything else :P)

Gen 4 ftw. d(^.^d)
