Yesterday’s article has seen some great succes, and because I don’t expect any news in the coming two weeks, I’m trying to feed you guys some subjects for discussion. I can’t promise this new mini-series will stick, but if enough people comment, I can arrange something with the rest of the team.
So, here comes my question: What is your most favorite generation of all time? Yesterday you said which generation was your first, so maybe it’s that one? Or another, be it for their Pokémon designs, new gameplay features, music, competitive metagame,…
Discussion starts…….. now!!!
First, and definitely forth gen, diamond version
I have to say the second gen. is my favorite!!
third or 5th gen
2nd or 4th gen
Easy, first and second and if I really need to choose I will choose the second gen. Just because by then I really understood what pokemon was all about 🙂
BTW: I started with Blue 😀
whooa, that’s a very hard question, xD! i don’t know what to say, i really like all the generations, but…. if i have to choose one as my favourite… it would be the third generation, i was so fascinated with the pokemon designs: blaziken, sceptile, myghtiena, exploud, manectric, sharpedo, torkoal… they are so cool!
and the legendary trio: groudon, kyogre and rayquaza, the three nature kings (i just created this nickname), they are very cool and sometime i imagine the draws of their bodies as tatoos!
hmm hard to say.
Gen 1 and 2 are the base of pokemon IMO.
Gen 3 was amazing. it was new and different. but cool
Gen 4 was IMO new and a upgrade for the older gens
Gen 5 Is the same as gen 3 new, great, and stands alone.
so its hard to choose.. but ill think i will go for gen 3. a lot of my favorite pokemon were introduced in this generation. like Swampert, Aggron, Metagross, Armaldo and Dusclops ( and dusknoir a upgrate from the 4th gen ). also the idea of a dessert and kind of jungle was great.
so i pick the 3e gen 🙂
It’s a tie between the first and second generations. Black and White would come in a very close second (although I guess at this point it’s technically third), and then 3rd and 4th gens come in WAAAAY behind as my least favorites. Sorry, but they were terrible compared to the others.
Third generation. I thought it was the most original generation. I love almost every Pokemon in that generation, and I never got bored playing those games. Oh, how I wish I had a way to play them again.
Out of all the generations I’ve played (ie: all of them), my favorite so far is 5th gen, with 1st gen a VERY close second. Black and White have a lot going for them… To name a few:
1. Stoutland line… IMO best dog line yet
2. Hydreigon
3. My favorite legendary, Reshiram
4. True Competitive Online
5. REUSABLE TMS
It’s also IMO probably the hardest of all the games… not that Pokemon is difficult at all.
i like them all expecially when the gens withe the togepi line in them or my other favs
As Far as overall Pokemon species designs go:
1st > 5th > 3rd > 2nd >>>>>>>> 4th
I think the games themselves improve every generation in a lot of ways.
Gen 5 is best as far as competitive play goes
HGSS I think is the best in-game experience because of the massive amount of stuff you can do.
I think HGSS wins on aesthetics too. The visual and sound design in that game is fantastic and having your little pokemon buddy following you is effing awesome.
For me, it is the 3rd generation shortly followed by the 2nd.
I think people are confusing “generation” with “region.” I agree that HGSS were two amazing releases, but I don’t think those count as Generation 2, they’re Generation 4. I actually reflected for a second on the answer to this and I realized that my personal favorites would go as such: 4, 2, 1, 3, 5. I never played the 1st generation games (or the remakes) so I have to assume they’re the “standard” and get the middle position. I loved Gen 4 and I obsessed over Diamond, Platinum, and HG more than any other Pokemon games. Then I consider the revolutionary overhaul that was done in Gen 2 that still didn’t make Gen 1 feel totally obsolete. Gen 3 was a step back IMO because it lost connectivity to the prior Generation and also had some bizarre Pokemon designs that I don’t particularly like. But Gen 5 is probably my least favorite, and though I could go on about why, I’ve said enough already, but in a word, “storyline.”
My first game was Yellow, but 3rd gen is my favorite. 3rd gen had my favorite starters, favorite region, and I generally like all of it’s Pokemon. 4th gen was the most disappointing in the series for me.
gen 4 introduced so much
hands down, 1st gen
Oh goodness this is a toughie…2nd generation is my favorite. I really put a lot of my time into the games when they first came out, and HgSs brought back all my memories from when I was a kid playing it. But since Black and White have come out I’ve become really fond of the generation, it added a lot of story and was something fresh and brought a lot to it..it actually made me get emotional, beautiful music and N’s story..It’s become a tie with 2nd Gen. 3rd generation is my least favorite…It just didn’t hook me into it like the others, and I can’t really explain why, it’s pretty weird. And 4th gen was good for me as well. I liked most of the Pokemon made and it got me back into really playing Pokemon again and actually had me planning out my teams and taking things a bit more serious.
Pfft and I completely forgot to add first generation. First generation is what started it all, so of course that’s gonna be the majorities favorite. I’d have to say though that 1st gen would be 3rd for me…It’s one of those games that you can leisurely play, with no real big story to get in your way, just take out team rocket and become champion.
So for me it would be:
1)Gen2/5
2)4th Gen
3)3rd Gen
Exactly the same as Jenny above me! 🙂
2nd and 4th gen were my favorites because u got 2 games in one with the second gen
The first generation. It was the original, and it started everything, and for that, it is my favorite.
It’s a tie between the 3rd and 5th gens, I feel they both were very original and different from past gens. 🙂
That being said I like the Pokemon from 4th gen the best. 😡
Tie between 2nd, my first generation, and 5th, which I find to be incredible.
While I loved them all, I have to base my answer on total game time, making the winner Generation IV. However, Gen V is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and I hold it as near and dear to my heart as IV. My close second is Generation III. In my humble opinion, the games just keep getting better 🙂
Firstly 3rd with 5th in second.
I must say, the first gen is my favorite, with the fifth coming in second by a rather large margin
#1 = 1st Gen
#2 = 5th Gen
#3 = 2nd Gen
#4 = 3rd Gen
#5 = 4th Gen (Fourth generation sucked IMO)
