Gen1 Original concept for a game, a complete bugfest.

Gen2 visually pleasing, poorly developed piece of shit with terrible distribution and leveling curve for an RPG game.

Gen3 visually stunning, fucking water routes.

Gen4 WiFi and physical special split made the games great, SLOW AS FUCK ENGINE AND THEY WENT OVERBOARD WITH THEIR FUCKING HM.

Gen5 the apex of the franchise on nearly every way, WEATHER WARS!

Gen6 Megas are amazing, no postgame at all... No Zinnia bullshit doesn't count, it's a more stupid Armageddon rip-off filled with fetch quests that manage to be even more annoying than it should be.

Aggghhhh opinions

1
Started Pokémon
No running shoes
2
New Pokemon also Johto is awesome in my opinion
Still no running shoes
3
Running shoes and moving sprites
Unobtainable event Pokémon only available via cheating outside Japan
4
Wifi general. Trade globally
The grass in Johto looked weird in some parts in my opinion
5
Music was cool as usual
Story was too integrated with gameplay but that's my opinion
6
Music was cool also mega evolution
Sprites are mostly gone also gameplay story too interlocked in my opinion

Gen 1: Started it all, but is a bug ridden mess
Gen 2: added much needed new types, but has terrible game design all throughout
gen 3: Introduced abilities, but cut off trading with previous generations due to hardware limitations.
Gen 4: Phys/Spec split is the best thing to happen to the series, but the first installments were terribly planned in the fire department.
Gen 5: Gave us the best games in the series with B2W2, but forced us to use exclusively new pokemon in BW
Gen 6: mega evolutions are really fun and interesting to me, but both games are devoid of a good post-game, as the looker and delta side quests don't last long enough.

Gen 4: Jazzy music, Everything felt mind numbingly slow
Gen 5(BW): I really liked it's story, No distribution of old mons until post game
Gen 5.5(B2W2): Good even distribution of new and old mons, The joint avenue is dead without wifi (minor complaint, but I miss my joint avenue)
Gen 6: Most options for your team, Not enough new mons

Gen 1
It started the series off. It's a weak answer, but I really don't have anything better.

People who stick adamantly to gen 1 and think bad of other Pokemon are just awful.

Gen 2
16 badges was an awesome idea and I loved it.

Kanto was just kinda there for you to get the badges and not a lot else happened.

Gen 3
Holy shit, the GBA made the games look amazing. and Flannery

No day/night cycle.

Gen 4
The special/physical split.

Didn't much like the legendaries.

Gen 5
The best sidequest bullshit ever was in BW2.

Used and dropped the Dream World in the same generation.

Gen 6
FASHION!!!

Lots of hand-holding.

Gen 3 also has Colo and gave of Darkness, they really ran those well, RS had the worst and laziest sprites but on FRLG and Esmerald they where revamped a bit.

Considering how consistent and vibrant the colors where on it's run it isn't hard to say it was a visual overhaul over the GC era and stadium.

3:
Good: Uhh abilities I guess. GF's first attempt at a real story
Bad: a lot

4:
Good: Entire postgame island in platinum, physical/special split in DP, best meta
Bad: Story and available pokemon were both very repetitive

5:
Good: N, story, best pokemon
Bad: The revelation that N was just a pawn and you weren't actually fighting for truth or ideals but instead fighting generic big baddie.

6:
Good: Quality of life changes
Bad: Roller blades bound to joystick, Lumiose City

Take the jump from GB into GB, then take the jump from stadium 2 into Colo. Take the updated sprites of FRLG and Esmerald vs the unfinished ones of RS.

It's a great jump from gen 1 and 2, especially with the vibrant colors that where used in Hoenn and FRLG.

1
>Introduced an addicting, original, and replayable concept; enemy movesets and AI are incompetent
2
>Rounded out the overworld, lore, history, and story of the previous game, and added an abundance of new mechanical elements that enhanced the gameplay; truncated many areas of Kanto
3
>Took a great risk by branching away from the first two generations and, in doing so, stopped the series from ultimately stagnating; removed many mechanics of the previous generation and did not include as much content as the previous generation, and set the precedent of the Pokemon games becoming a standard formula (8 regional gyms, a regional E4, a regional evil team, etc.) instead of innovating a la SM (imo, RS are the lowest point of the entire series)
4
>Fine-tuned the battling mechanics; jumped the shark regarding the roles, scope and power of legendary Pokemon (my opinion)
5
>Gave old Pokemon a way to access new abilities; did not take interesting risks with the new Pokemon (same old archetypal roles: physically oriented rock and fighting types, specially oriented psychics, for example)
6
>Introduced an overdue graphics overhaul and pulled all regional dexes into relevance in the Kalos dex; many mega evolutions are next to useless and did not have to be, and Sky Battles were a lame gimmick that blundered many models for generations to come
7
>Alolan forms are an exceptional way of "updating" old Pokemon without adding to the power creep; introducing non-Pokemon monsters into a Pokemon game is too jarring and out of place (my opinion)

>Gen 1
Started it all, full of bugs and some poor gameplay choices
>Gen 2
Johto is a nice region, had some good balancing but ultimately suffered from weird ass level curve and gym leaders having non-Johto mains
>Gen 3
Hoenn is a shitty region but it brought a lot of nice gameplay additions that just made the pokemon experience better. Also Emerald and FRLG are great games
>Gen 4
Great pokemon, great region, great gameplay changes, and HGSS are the best remakes of all and some of the best games in the series as well as Platinum which is the best. But god damn if Dianond and Pearl aren't slow as shit
>Gen 5
The most experimental gen in terms of gameplay and that really worked for it. B2W2 are perfections of an already great base game. That said the whole moving pokemon thing was only great until you first zoomed in on your pokemon and the pixels became a little too noticable. Also the casualization started here with gym leaders never having more than 3 pokemon.
>Gen 6
The beginning of XY is one of the most adventurous feeling in the series. Like thos first two gyms take forever to reach and the journey is fun. But after that it feels like Gamefreak stopped caring and the game becomes fairly generic with a shitty story and no nee pokemon. Compared to FRLG and especially HGSS the hoenn remakes feel like a huge step down. Also fuck all the flying pokemon who don't have a standing model. I can't use some of my favourites because they look retarded

great music, shit UI

great region, lots of boring mons

abilities, no backwards compatibility

GOAT music, too many event legendaries

lots of great mons, missing tons of features from gen 3 and 4 in favor of pushing a shitty flash game

character customization (fucking finally), the new cries fucking suck (what the fuck did they do to Shinx)

XY had an awesome postgame story and it saddens me that none of you remember it

g1:
+great sense of freedom and exploration;barriers actually stir curiosity not just get in the way
-monotonous environment

g2:
+great use of mechanical additions (breeding, special stats, shinies, new types, day/night)
-terribly paced difficulty curve

g3:
+abilities were a nice touch
-more than half the new pokemon were garbage and the region completely missed the entire charm of pokemon and turned it into a generic jrpg, terrible story, and the GBA was an awkward halfassed technological babystep where a real step forward was needed

g3r:
+reexperiencing kanto with a more balanced set of game mechanics was nice
-suffered all the failings of the GBA as a whole

g4:
+some fantastic set pieces in the region itself, but...
-somehow the tileset rendered them all underwhelming (If a remake happens and does half the makeover ORAS did to RSE and it'll be amazing)

g4r:
+made johto genuinely fun to see and explore, the dojo rematches and gym leader scavenger hunt were great
-kept the awkward level curve for some reason

g5:
+great new set of pokemon
-terrible fucking linearity in the plot and map

g5ii:
+great additional towns
-terrible story

g6:
+3d
-megas, fairy type, totally forgettable new pokemon, terribly boring region

g6r:
+looked great
-did nothing to change the terrible story
