What are your favorite gens? I love them all, but I tend to gear towards the 2D sprite era.

I was going to vote on either Generation 3 or 4 because I had invested so much time and interest into those generations... But then I saw generation 1, and Secret Agent Nostalgia shot me in the arm with sweet memory vibes and I clicked that instead. There was just so much magic with that one that I don't think has or ever will be replicated :)

Unova/gen V! III and VI (especially for ORAS) are a close second. Unova is definitely #1 and will be forever, probably. <3

Aaa, I'm glad to see some gen 5 love! It definitely sticks as my favorite gen of all time. I really like gen 7 too, but there are just too many long cutscenes lmao

Generation 3! I suppose I have bias, since generation iii were my first Pokemon games, but I've always just enjoyed Hoenn far more than any other region in Pokemon, so it'll always get my vote.

3 and 4 are definitely my favorites. I've got a lot of memories playing the third gen games, and gen 4 brought the physical/special split, which I still think is one of the most important upgrades to the battle mechanics that got me really excited about playing again. It's too bad I didn't like the Sinnoh games, otherwise gen 4 would easily be my top choice.

Gen 4, because Platinum is my favourite game of the series and most of my favourite Pokémon debuted in Gen 4

Gen VI. I love Kalos, even though the games felt like a tech demo. But the atmosphere, the Pokémon and places were just so great and though-through. And ORAS modernized already great Gen III games.

gens 3 and 4. to me, nothing will beat the moments of playing Pokemon XD/Gale of Darkness/Pokemon Battle Revolution. gen 3 and gen 4 spinoffs were really a highlight during those times.

Generation 4 is superior. I love everything about it, the Sinnoh region itself, the anime, the Pokémon, the games, everything about generation 4 was swell. Gen 5 is my second favourite.

Gen 2 games feel very charming to me.

I share the same opinions! Gen 5 is still my favourite and in my opinion, the apex of Pokemon as a game.

Gen 4, because Platinum is my favourite game of the series and most of my favourite Pokémon debuted in Gen 4
I appreciate it (Sinnoh was my first game), but why does Gen 4 have 0% votes??

Not sure tbh, either people didn't bother voting or the guy made the poll temporary. No option for me to cast a vote.

Gen 2 then gen 5 for me. I would say gen 4 just because of HG/SS, but I am really a fan of those games because they are gold and silver remakes, and I am really not a fan of Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. I just thought they were kinda boring and(contrary to popular opinion) I wasn’t big fan of the new gen 4 Pokémon and thought they were just okay(including Lucario and Garchomp).

Gen three is my absolute favorite. I think Hoenn is overall the best region. On a larger scale I also really liked Firered/Leafgreen as well as Pinball RS and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.

Runner up would be Gen four as Sinnoh actually had some challenging battles. Heartgold/Soulsilver remakes were even better than the prior remakes and Explorers of Sky was very enjoyable as well.

I mean, this is HARD. Are we talking the games themselves, or the designs of the Pokemon in the generations? I think I have to go Gen 1 for the designs, PARTICULARLY with the old watercolor art, but stopping to think about it, Gen 3 might have been when I DID the most within the Pokemon games and enjoyed it all. Secret Bases, Contests, trying to complete the dex, and playing the mainline... Yeah, that was a pretty good time.

Gens 4 and 5 for sure. They were my introduction to the series and they had so much content. For once there was actually something to do in the postgame other than battle. Gen 7 is my third favorite for the entertaining story and enjoyable roster of new Pokémon.

Gen IV for me. Gen III was my first with Emerald, and that's probably my favourite individual game. I bought LeafGreen as well and its a good game - very streamlined, refreshing given the heavy focus on legendaries from Hoenn onwards - but Gen IV was my peak Pokémon. GTS and Wi-Fi trading opened up the possibility of finally evolving a Kadabra (in my earliest saves when I didn't understand that Pokémon evolved any way other than levels, I got one to lv. 100), and completing the Pokédex (I was actually pretty close to getting all 493 as I had the events, but had only one DS so needed to trade through a user on here...he never gave them back). I didn't enjoy the updated Contests in Gen IV, or how slow Diamond / Pearl were, but in every other manner I preferred the gameplay (especially the Physical / Special split).
HeartGold / SoulSilver are possibly the most Pokémon you can get in one cartridge: two full regions, about 300 Pokémon available in-game, two Champions (one the strongest NPC in Pokémon), a very cool event with Celebi, a fun Safari Zone (Hoenn's had the bikes which was kinda cool, as were the trams but overall Hoenn and Sinnoh's Safari Zones both sucked), and a great accessory in the Pokéwalker (which feels purpose-built for my current quarantine lifestyle). I could go on, but I want to play more (and yes, I'm in Gen IV).
