Hey, I got an Idea for me to pass the time in the rain, what's your favorite and least favorite Pokemon Generations
My favorites are Gen 3 & 5
Least Favorite is 4
I have a strong love for all generations so even my least favorite is still fantastic IMO, but if I
had to pick...I'd probably go with 5th gen for favorite, at least the way I'm feeling right now. Completely based on single-player non-competitive playing because that's what I do most with Pokemon. 5th gen just felt like it had a lot of depth, I love the region, and I love probably the largest proportion of fifth gen Pokemon of any gen.
Honorable mention to fourth because I strongly disliked it for years but after revisiting it recently I found that I have a lot of love for the atmosphere of the game and the soundtrack, and the contrast between hating it strongly and loving it now leaves me feeling really positive about it. Also to sixth gen which has mechanics nailed down for a really complete single-player experience IMO.
Least favorite, if I had to pick one, is probably 2nd. For one because I probably care least for the Pokemon introduced in 2nd gen. Probably my biggest complaint, though, is that it's probably the grindiest Pokemon title due to how underleveled wild Pokemon are, especially in Kanto. When I played through both 2nd gen and the 2nd gen remakes last year I ended up beating Red with really underleveled Pokemon and relying on luck and potion stalling to beat him in both because I just did not have the energy to do the grinding required, and that's kind of a frustrating game experience to have. (Admittedly I felt very accomplished beating him after a very lucky miss right at the end in Crystal and through his Lapras struggling itself to death in HG, but I could've gone without the rest of the battles lol.)
