I'm a big fan of gen V, personally. I know it's rsther controversial on here, but I really don't fault many of its designs. It's a little excessive on the legendaries and mythicals, but apart from that and a few arguably unappealing designs (Garbodor, Klinklang, Vanilluxe, the elemental monkeys, and Seismitoad come to mind, though I like all of those but Garbodor, personally,) but it's chock full of good designs otherwise, and a lot of variety, too. I think its mons were a perfect parody of Kanto and helped make up an excellent reboot, and I'm sad that they don't get as much recognition as they deserve, in my opinion.
