I agree with the idea of least good, Gen 2 is indeed the least good.

In my world, there is no "least good" generation. There is only "least favourite."
And Gen II sure as heck ain't it.
Have you not seen me post? I hate on Gen 2 all the time.

Gen 2 has the worst roster and a quick nostalgic hop to Kanto that only becomes fleshed out in HeartGold/SuperiorSilver. They're good games, but it's still the worst Generation.

HOW DARE YOU USE FINN AND JAKE FOR THE PORPOISES OF EVIL
Meh, to each his own, I guess.
Actually I said that neither left any real impression on me. But I remembered more of NSMB DS so I gave it the lead.
We just had one like, a couple months ago giving away Reshiram or Zekrom to the versions they weren't in over Wi-Fi. If that's what you meant?

Best Pokémon Generations
1. 5th
2. 3rd
3. 2nd
4. 1st
5. 4th
Bear in mind that I don't like either of them.
So, nothing new then. Just checking.
If I ever meet you in a bar, I'm buying a round.

I take it back what the heck was I thinking, gen iv is my least favourite. Forgot about how slow the pacing felt. Thank god Platinum at least made the gen playable. Diamond and Pearl though just felt too sluggish to me.
I definitely liked G/S least, but I think at least 50% of that was getting thoroughly screwed by Sudowoodo. I thought it was like Snorlax so I didn't worry when I killed it, figuring there'd be at least a few later. And then nobody else had one, so I couldn't complete my dex. Haven't completed a dex since.

Gen 4 brought about the Physical/Special move split. That alone makes it one of the best for me.

Gen IV is my least favourite for different reasons. Barring the brilliant HeartGold and SoulSilver which may be the best standalone games in the series, DPPt just didn't click for me the way every other game did. Don't get me wrong; I still enjoyed them, but they just had that feeling that not a lot of thought was put into them. I mean, why would you have an Electric Gym Leader and a Fire-type Elite Four member if the region only has 2 Fire- and 3 Electric- types? When the third game in the generation adds new Pokémon to the Regional Dex out of necessity rather than as a design choice, you know you've messed up. I liked the plots alright (I thought the final battle with Cyrus was deservedly epic in both DP and Pt), but the designs of the Legendaries and some of the common 'mons were just lame. This is going to sound a bit nitpicky, but Gen IV also had my least GUI of the series. I dunno why; something about it (maybe the large, coloured Playskool buttons) just rubs me the wrong way. This brings me to my final and biggest issue with Generation IV: It's just so dang slow. Everything about it, from the entry animations to the health bars to the player characters moved at an excruciating pace, making affairs take far longer than they should. Diamond and Pearl in particular suffer from this, due to the large amount of grinding pre-Elite Four (an issue stemming from the small number of powerful trainers lategame and the high levels that your team must be at to have a shot at the title) which made every battle into a chore. Heck, in my second playthrough of Platinum I just said "screw it" and defeated the Elite Four with a team of Pokémon in the low 50s.
Overall, I just think that Generation IV was beaten on just about every level by other Gens, from creativity (Gen III) to content (Gen II) to speed (Gen V), and is my least favourite generation as a result.

I base Generations off of the Fire types. Gen 1 always wins due to Growlithe, Ponyta, Vulpix and Charmander (Moltres that ugly ass rubber chicken loses points though).
The other gens usually have 1 good fire type and like 3 or 4 shit ones. There are so few fire types

gen v has volcarona which is basically the greatest fire type ever.

Volcarona is ugly though. Nothing will ever beat Growlithe.

I agree somewhat, especially about the speed, that horrible soul-crushing speed. That's the primary reason why Platinum is the breakpoint for IV.
Although, gym leaders being around with not enough of their type is not too bad (See: Lance) - as long as the team feels good enough, it should be fine. Although, expanding the regional Dex was a welcome change.

I'm glad my best friend doesn't know about GAF, because she would be furious with you.

Having 2 Pokémon of the same type is not basis for a themed team/character. I'd honestly have preferred them to have doubles like Bruno, Agatha or Lance. It would have been better if one or both of them were non-typed like Blue in Gen II. At least Platinum fixed this issue, thank god.

this thing is quite ugly. just an overdesigned pos. larvesta is alright though. when i heard there was a fire/bug type, i was excited for a second until i found it :s
simpler is better. now lemme go find more growlithe gifs.

Which is what I meant when I said it's been done before (This is in contrast to his other team in the rematch, which is awesome). I wasn't disagreeing too much, only to say that it wasn't the first time, and I didn't mind when it happened. Anyways, Platinum teams were much better, so I don't even mind anymore
