What pokemon have always been top tier since they were introduced? Going by this list, it's hard to not say that gen 4 had the highest number of great pokemon. I can think of:
>Venusaur
>Gengar
>Alakazam
>Snorlax
>Dragonite
>Weezing
>Starmie
>Heracross
>Skarmory
>Kingdra
>Raikou
>Tyranitar
>Swampert
>Ludicolo (I think. Nigga has always rustled me.)
>Cradily
>Walrein
>Salamence
>Metagross
>Infernape
>Staraptor
>Gastrodon (I think?)
>Bronzong
>Garchomp
>Lucario
>Hippowdon
>Toxicroak
>Abomasnow
>Weavile
>Magnezone
>Rhyperior
>Electivire
>Togekiss
>Gliscor
>Mamoswine
>Porygon-Z
>Dusknoir
>Frosslass
>Azelf
>Heatran
>Cressalia
>Forgot Zapdos now that I think about it
>Excadrill
>Conkledurr
>Reuniclus
>Ferrothorn
>Haxorus
>Chandelure
>Mandibuzz
>Hydreigon
>Landorus
>Volcanion
>Terrakion
Gen 6 is excluded since SM isn't out. What's missing? And explain why gen 4 doesn't have the highest concentration of good pokemon out of any gen.
