So if the optimal way to progress through the games is with 4 pokemon (plus 1-2 HM slaves), who would you say are the best 4 for each generation? I'd say:
Gen 1: Venusaur, Dugtrio, Kadabra/Alakazam, Jolteon
Gen 2: Feraligatr, Ampharos, Crobat, Houndoom
Gen 3: Swampert, Swellow, Manectric, Sableye
Gen 4: Infernape, Staraptor, Roserade, Gastrodon
Gen 5: Excadrill, Jellicent, Ferrothorn, Archeops
Gen 6: Greninja, Venusaur, Hawlucha, Aegislash
