Favorite Gen?

For me it's probably RSE. The starters were pretty good, the legendaries were awesome, and the region of Hoenn was amazing (Sootopolis City. It's built inside a freakin' VOLCANO. UNDERWATER). GSC is a close second, partially because I think it has the best starters (Feraligatr= WIN).
 
It's getting one-sided now, but RSE is my favorite hands down. DPP is my second-placer.
 
Hoenn was a good region, but it's only my second. Johto tops it, I'd say. I've always liked Johto. And the second-gen Pokemon. Well, except Stantler. But yeah. Second generation.
 
We're not talking regions, we're talking generations.

Generation 2 was, in my opinion, the best follow-up in a videogame ever. It fixed all the problems with Gen. 1, nerfing the Psychic-type and refining gameplay. Not to mention that the new things (happiness, hold items, breeding) were pulled off extremely well.

Hoenn was the best region, though.
 
Wow, a thread like this where Hoenn is actually winning? :0

3rd gen was my favorite too. Best Pokemon designs, best region, some of the best NPC's. Okay, Aqua and Magma were lame and there was nothing to do after you beat the E4 in R/S, but they still have the coolest feel overall. :>
 
RSE. Perhaps it's Nostalgia Filter considering Sapphire was my first game (:<), but eh. RSE provide more fun for me than the other gens.
 
In terms of Pokémon design, it would most likely be RSE, but as a whole, it's most likely DPPt. That is most likely since the first game in the series I played was, in fact, Pearl.
 
...Man, I feel like an old fart saying this, but Gen freaking 1 for me. I'm not going to lie, it is pretty nostalgia driven, but it also has all kinds of epic glitches that Gens 2, 3, and 4 only wished they had. Plus the music is pretty damn awesome too.

This is followed up by Gen 2 and then Gen 4. I'm sorry Gen 3 fans, but I only really liked Emerald out of the Gen 3 bunch. I didn't like Gen 4 that much either, but HG/SS pretty much take the cake as the best Pokemon games ever(not counting the nostalgia factor R/B/Y and G/S/C have for me) and so give Gen 4 more awesome points than 3.

...And it looks like Gen 5 is set to kick Gen 3 further down the list for me. :o
 
Generation Two takes the cake because of the nostalgia goggles I'm wearing. I cried when I accidentally deleted my Typhlosion...

I also have fond memories of Hoenn and the improved Kanto. Gen. Four was a disappointment as far as character design went (no-one dresses like that srsly not even in France [looking at you, beret-boy]) but Cyrus was genuinely ebil, unlike Team Magmafail and Aquafail (although they had cool costumes. Unlike the Galacticdorks).
 
Gen 4 for me because cyrus was maximum evil unlike some others (glares at magma and aqua) plus gen 4 had electivire which is uber awesome.
 
Gen III, more specifically Emerald, was my first game, so that gets it. Next is Gen IV, but I never played the other games so meh :(

Gen V is probably gunna come in second place, knocking Gen IV down to third

But they had secret bases! I could amuse myself for days, designing secret bases, making a level 100 team with no attack moves and Pokemon that gave specific EVs in order to raise even more level 100s! :D

I've racked up 650+ hours on Ruby, and the secret bases are the only explanation.

Also agreeing with Hoenn being my fave, with Johto coming in a mighty close second.
 
most people liking third gen
I FINALLY found a place that nostalgia fags aren't clogging*

4th gen is my fave
best times ever

*liking older gens more =/= nostalgia faggotry, before anyone jumps on me.
 
It's this toss-up between 2nd and 3rd generation. Most of my favorite Pokemon come from the 2nd and 3rd generation.

Yes, a lot of love for the first generation Pokemon obviously, but what struck the 1st generation out was that the 2nd generation games blew the first generation games out of the water, so 1st is let down by gameplay. Not to mention Kanto seems kinda bland now.

The 4th generation's got the best battle mechanics, but I didn't like everything else as much. The overworld looked wrong, quite frankly, being all not-flat and such. The Pokemon have not endeared themselves to me as much.

The biggest thing that the 2nd and 3rd generation did to me that got me in love with them, was that they just felt magical when I got them and played them. I could not put the Game Boy down, just couldn't. Silver added so much neat stuff that added to the 'realism'. My mind was blown at just how much better than Blue and Yellow it was. The same thing happened when I got Sapphire. The facelift was so refreshing, the region of Hoenn was so unlike Kanto and Johto, it was all very nice.

And typing that paragraph, I stumbled upon something. Remember how they left many first and second generation Pokemon out of R/S/E until you got the national dex? I think that improved my thoughts of the 3rd generation Pokemon. I wasn't able to easily compare them to many of the older ones in-game, so I couldn't instantly judge them based on older ones. Anyone else feel this way?
