Gen VI had a few stand outs, but as a whole was underwhelming, forgettable and there just weren't very many Pokemon in general.
Gen IV has less outright terrible designs than Gen V, but as a whole it's just really bland and unoffensive with very few standouts.
Gen V's is just really hit and miss with good highs and really bad lows.
