>>13507366They all had lazy designs.
Gen 1 had the obvious ones: Eggs, Balls, Globs of Poison.
Gen 2 had all those pre-evolutions.
Gen 3 was stuck with some forgettable pokemon like Relicanth and Solrock/Lunatone.
Gen 4 just had a bunch of new evolutions to fill the gaps.
and Gen 5 just tried to be Gen 1 but couldn't bring back that childish feeling it gave us back in the day.
tl;dr all gens had shit-tier pokemon
