Re: Least favorite Pokémon generation?
Hm, I feel like Gen 5 had a lot more creative designs than Gen 1 (shoot me, nostalgia fans)! I mean, yes, Gen 5 have some "meh" ones like Purrloin (which looks really similar to Glameow), and the Foongus line, but the awesome Pokemon outnumbers the average ones by quite a bit (Archeops, Braviary, Galvantula, Scolipede... I can go on forever). Meanwhile, the Gen 1 Pokemon are more average than awesome (or cool or cute, for that matter), while the number of uninspired ones is a lot bigger (Muk and Grimer, Electrode, Magneton, Clefairy vs Jigglypuff, Rattatat). I'll cut Gen 1 some slack because it's the first generation and thus Nintendo doesn't need to be too creative, but still.

Re: Least favorite Pokémon generation?
TBH, gen V was the most non-lishus meal/pokemon game i've played. When I was playing white, i felt i was having fun despite white, rather than because of it, mainly because of the stupid c-gear. My favorite gen was III, (In other words, emerald), because of it's huge diversity. I just hope the rumors of a remake are true..

Re: Least favorite Pokémon generation?
I do think the Gen V names were OK, but with the shaking grass and dust clouds, I wish there was more of a variety. All shaking grass spots are 99% Audino and 1% everything else. And the dust clouds are pretty much either Drilbur or Exadrill The rippling water, in my opinon, was fine.

Seconding this. It's a pain in the butt thinking "OOH! YAY! SHAKING GRASS!", running in, and saying "Aw, sh*t, an Audino again"

Re: Least favorite Pokémon generation?
Personally, I thought Generation 1 was the worst one in the entire pokemon series. Not because of the pokemon themselves, I mean they were all pretty damn cool at the time, even if I think they're a bit meh now, but because of the huuuge amount of coding errors and crap gameplay mechanics. I think it was barely up to closed beta version when they released the damn thing, so it looked as if they'd rushed it and just jammed it onto the shelves.
I mean, pokemon who wake up in the same turn as being put to sleep by a move that's very shaky to hit anyway. Safari pokemon turning up at the right-hand side of Cinnabar island when you surf up and down (admittedly one of the cooler bugs), Missingno, the entire, convoluted Mew cheat. Not the truck one, which was a hoax, but the one that actually worked by chaining bugs together. All of it just bundled together into a big pile of Fail.
The generations afterwards, however, are mostly great. Platinum was a bit boring, and I didn't bother with Heart Gold and Soul Silver. Black and White are the best; the most imaginative pokemon (I loved Klink when I first saw it), and the fact that TMs are reusable. That played the biggest part.
No more um-ing and ah-ing over which pokemon gets to learn Trick Room, no moresaving hoarding never using TMs you get from the Gym Leaders because they're one-shot only. I'm still in the habit of hoarding TMs and only letting pokemon learn moves they gain from levelling up, but now I can give them entirely new movesets whenever I feel like it.
The only niggle I have with Black and White is the very nasty bug that shows up when both of your pokemon faint in a double battle. It just won't let you do anything.

Yes. Then when it asks me for the second pokemon I want to switch out, and the one I want to switch it with, it freezes.

Re: Least favorite Pokémon generation?
IV was a disappointment to me. I'm a lover of birds and when there's only 3 lines of birds worth mentioning (one being a total throwaway Pokemon except for his funny ability, even!), it's just a pile of ew.
The only things that made up for that batch was the Buizel line, FREAKING HONCHKROW and Chatot's chatter ability. Piplup turned into a mecha-ew-penguin-what-thingie while Starly became emoraptor, which isn't cool.
GenV regenerated a little faith with a freaking PHEASANT Pokemon (a GREEN Pheasant, no less!) a freaking STEPHEN COLBERT Pokemon, a funny looking swan and a badass vulture that wears SKULLS FOR A DRESS, needless to say I forgave Pokemon for a weaker previous generation.
On the other gens:
I - the original 151 were definitely among the most original, but felt the most mechanical as well. Its a weird situation with them.
II - I really liked this generation, felt really fresh. Was also the originator of Murkrow which is like my favouritest thing ever. (and skarmory too but I prefer Murkrow).
III - SWELLOW. GRUMPIG. Nuff said.

Re: Least favorite Pokémon generation?
I hated gen 3 also. Gen 1 was the first and most memorable and the highest point for me cause so many friends played it. Gen 2 was almost as good really cause you saw most of the old pokemon along with some new ones and you revisit kanto. Gen 3 lacked any of the old pokemon for most of the game which was depressing cause some of us look at a new generation and want to take our old favorites into battle with the new stuff to see how we fair. The only good thing in Gen 3 was Blaziken and Swellow. The rest were crap. Gen 4 was alot better, and Gen 5 wasn't really that bad either. I think Nintendo loved Primeape and never mentioned it cause they just had to have a fiery ape and then a fiery pig as starters.
