Happy Holidays, /vp/!
I've been wondering what the general consensus is on this board as to which the best generation is the best, and which is the worst? As such, I've devised a poll that I hope will answer this question. This poll will close automatically at the New Year, GMT.
You'll rank the six generations from 1-6, 1 being the best, 6 being the worst. You'll be ranking them on Pokemon Design, Game Play, Post Game Content, Aesthetics, Music, Plot and Lore, and finally, Overall.
I will not reveal the results until January 1st.
All of that said, please keep all discussion civil. This is not meant to be a genwar. I want to make this and all subsequent threads last the next two weeks. Thank you for your respect.

>>22202687 How good the games look. Calling it graphics would be a bit misleading since its hard to compare 3D graphics to 2D graphics. Also while the later games have been technically more impressive, you may prefer the artstyle of one of the previous games.

Gen I surprisingly didn't hold up well for me... Until Gen V, when I got back into playing, I was a hardcore Genwunn/tooer.B2W2 Master Race tho Gen II was still my second overall

Gen 2 is the best overall. Gen 5 was a breath of fresh air, BW2 even moreso. Gen 6 was a step in the right direction with older protagonists, customization, and what felt like a vast world, but ORAS has left a bit to be desired Gen 1 is nostalgialove and Yellow. Yellow was awesome. Gen 3 is okay. Good music, but pretty eh otherwise. Gen 4 though, most boring series to me.

It's difficult to rank them in generational chunks. DP had shit gameplay and aesthetic, but Platinum improved them substantially. XY has a boring plot and lore, but ORAS complimented it well. I ended up just ranking it by the best game of whatever generation.

Gen 1 is the worst. Worst look, buggy mess, most boring pokemon, dull samey region, and it's the only generation where all the starters are just unappealing. That said, I respect first gen for starting the franchise. We wouldn't have had everything else if gen 1 hadn't started things.

Define “gameplay”. Mechanics? Single-player experience?

I've always felt like regions should be compared instead of gens. I mean, it's like someone adding a mod to an existing game and saying "I made a better game!". While that's true, I feel like the originals are more deserving. Even without the remakes, pokemon is a series that keeps a lot of things from past gens each time, especially game mechanics. Which means a gen has to try really hard to be worse than its predecessor, like genVI did. /blog

>>22218865 I think it should be game sets rather than regions.
RBY and FRLG are very different Kantos, for example. But I agree by gen is weak, because often I'd say "oh that was great in HGSS/Pt..." and then remember how awful it was in DP

>>22218865 Are you kidding me? The games have been getting worse as they go on. Drifting farther and farther away from the premise of "be a master" and more trying to tell generic JRPG stories.

>>22218904 No. I still like most of the games through ORAS, I just feel like they've become very bloated. A lot of people complain about lack of features, but I'd rather they either trimmed the fat more or made every feature optional, including never even having to be given a tutorial or demo of it.
