johto and hoen are thee best out of all the regions. the pokemon are not too original and not too out there like the pokemon in sinnoh and isshu. kanto was awesome when it was the only one out but looking back it does seem a little bland even though its what got everyone hooked =]

Overall, Hoenn.
First and only interesting region so far.
Interesting Pokémon Designs.
Weather.
Secret Bases.
Story.
Just my opinion, anyway. I love all the Generations but since Gen III none have felt as good to me.


But regarding Pokémon designs alone, the first is still probably the best. I like most of them, but I do believe all Generations have good and bad designs, including the first.

I know how some people say new pokemon are "unoriginal", but the way I see it is the past generations had more to work with idea and species wise. For ever generation there will be even more creatures used which means they will probably have to start incorporating more past designed into the new pokemon.

Kanto - As previous said the designs where simple, nothing outlandish just plain and simple concepts and animals. Not to take away from this generation though since it was paving the road for what we be the future of the series.

Johto - This generation of pokemon seemed to have a folky feel about them as did the region as a whole. Although to me this generation didn't seem to deviate from the first generation too much some of the designs seemed to be more detailed or complex the previous pokemon. Definitely a lot of animal based pokemon which isn't a bad thing either if you don't like humansphere type pokemon.

Hoenn - To me the kicked up the complexity of the designs in this generation normal and legends combined. I could actually say for once they I actually like all the starters for once, that is more then I can say about the other generations. What I liked with the designs is they were complex but they make it complex enough not to over do the designs.

Sinnoh - Out of all the generations I like this one the least. To me it seemed like a quarter of the pokemon where based directly upon past generations through pre-evolutions and evolutions. I don't have a problem with a few here and there but the extent to which they added past ones annoyed me. It seemed like they tried to hard of some designs overall not just the ones linking to previous generations.

Unova - First off Yabukuron & Dasutodasu wtf! I don't even... Those aside I like the designs of the pokemon, even if people complain about them being too humansphere that does not concern me too much. I think the humansphere design goes along with the region as being one that is supposed to be urbanized(Hiun City being an instance of that) since it is based off NYC there would be more human creatures inhabiting it then animals. Excluding places like Central Park. Some of them are hit and miss for me right now but once this generation sets in I doubt I will dislike much of them.

Personally, in order of appeal, it's like this for me:
Johto
Kanto
Hoenn
Isshu
Shinno

Kanto - I'm not going to lie, I loved the hell out of these games. For christmas, when i was 6, I got pokemon Yellow and a gameboy color, I thought it was the most epic christmas. I played this game all the time. I get nostalgic when looking at sprites from these games. Everything was so simple yet so epic for it's time.

Johto - Personal Favorite. I love all the pokemon from these games and everything about it. Main Reasons: You could catch all the legendaries that were in the generation (besides celebi). You could go back to Kanto. And Umbreon. Plus, the games were in color and featured an EXP bar! The Hero wore his hat backwards! And it featured Shinies!

Hoenn - Eh. It was alright. I liked some pokemon like Absol, Manectric, Blaziken... All the pokemon sounded like transformers to me. And there were tons of legendaries. The first 6 gym leaders were named after their type, haha... Norman... I liked the battle frontier though. (Please NO Remake Gamefreak!!)

Shinno - My WTF Game. Beat it in 6 hours and didn't like it too much. The male looked funny and Dawn looked like a bimbo. I didn't really like any of the pokemon except for Lucario and Gallade. There were tons of new evolutions for previous generations and I thought surely were would be no more generations...

Isshu - Until last year when this region was announced. I've played through most of it and it's pretty much okay. I don't like the fact that the bike moves extremely fast. I like the dowsing machine. Some of the pokemon look strange... Tabunne?... I like the continued use of Duo legendaries though. Shouldn't Gamefreak be done by now?...

I would have to say Johto was the best generation (to me), because it contains many of my favorite Pokemon. The designs were simple and it introduced DVs/IVs and shinies. Crystal added delicious colors and the night-day feature was cool to me back then. Also, Pokemon Stadium 2 kicked so much buttocks. <3

I choose Hoenn... Although Red/Blue was my first game, but I thought that Kanto's Pokemon is too plain for me. But they're original! Well I still like Hoenn's Pokemon design. Look at Beautifly, such a beautiful butterfly! And Wurmple is also cute!

It's just my personal favourite anyway. I still like all Pokemon no matter how much they added, it's just, Hoenn is my favourite region and their Pokemon too :)
