Gen VII. It has 0 replayability. All dialogue feels like an actual chore. Hell I haven't even finished Ultra Moon cause I still have Sun and Moon on my mind.

Honestly the story ruined the experience, could have been good if the story wasn't shoehorned every 5 seconds.

Gen VII makes me appreciate all the tutorials from previous games for being somewhat short.

Gen VI. XY is the least inspired Pokemon game, with babby easy difficulty even for a babby easy game series, and plot and characters that both intrusive and poorly written even for Pokemon. And ORAS is just plain the worst remake (until LGPE comes out), with removed content and unbalanced shit carried over from XY.

Even the spin-offs from that generation sucked, it was mostly shitty phone games. Only Super Mystery Dungeon and Pokken mattered, and the latter got a strictly better port in Gen VII.

V, pokemon designs started to look too cartoonish right there, also it killed the sprite art which peaked in Gen IV.

Gen IV
Diamond and Pearl have a boring, shit story, bad Pokemon distribution, ugly Pokemon designs which ruin previous evolutionary lines, the Sinnoh is too big and annoying to backtrack through, and the routes have way too many bright colours and lack unique atmosphere, there are too many HMs, and they run slow as all fuck.
Platinum improves some of this but not all.
Also SoulSilver and HeartGold fix none of the issues present in their original games and instead introduce mostly inconsequential gimmicks like Pokemon following which are heralded as like the second coming of Christ.

I say it's gen 1. It's a buggy mess to begin with but it's still very fun. Not to say they're bad games because they aren't. I don't believe there are any bad main series Pokemon games out there especially with games like Sonic '06 and Hotel Mario existing. My other gripe though is simply that it's gen 1. It's the one constantly getting crammed down our throats. If it were any other region in Gen 1's shoes it would be the same, but that's not the case. I simply dislike how much Kanto and original 151 and 90's is getting crammed into newer pokemon games. It's getting tiring and it shouldn't be. These new games should have their own identity. Not the identity of a game from 22 years ago.

Gen IV probably. DP had a horrible variety of Pokemon during the main game (if you wanted a fire type and didn't choose the Fire starter your only other option was Rapidash), which also bled over to the Gym leaders not having enough Pokemon for their respective gimmick (Volkner and Flint were a stitched together mess), and saving was slow as all hell and the game isn't what I would call "quick" either. Never played Sun and Moon.

I feel ya there, I know Odyssey and BoTW are brought up a lot, but I'm glad Nintendo games are starting to join the rest of the world with ability to skip cutscenes. Some people just rather want to enjoy the gameplay without being interrupted every 10min or replay the game with different strats or builds in mind. If there was a way to flag these events as we play, I think people would actually be able to enjoy it.

I can’t wait for THOSE games to come around and be arguably worse than the first generation.

Give Gen I credit where it’s due, though, Stadium is pretty neat and it’s a shame that its breed isn’t relevant any more with the whole series being 3D now.

Gen7.
If I had to explain why, I'd just end posting a wall of text explaining why I personally don't like it.
So let's leave it that I'm disappointed with the music, the overworld design suffering due to GF being incompetent at 3D, the death of exploration in the series, and the fact I think this is the first truly mediocre dex in the franchise.
Add to that what other anons have already said about this gen, and I think these are the first games in the series that I'll never be able to replay.

I was kinda disappointed by Gen 2 ( Soul silver )
the very first region felt so.. short and empty

Gen 2 pokemons were okay-ish
just okay-ish

Gen 7 had too much fucking story
too much cutscenes
too much dialogue
this literally kills the replayability -- although I love its gameplay

Gen 1 has *a lot* of poorly designed pokemon

Gen 2. I know people are gonna disagree but in my opinion it was a really boring region in terms of Pokemon design. Kinda like Kanto, and nothing really special about it. And I even forget to mention how forgettable the starters were. Just no.

Gen 3

I dont know why but the region and the pokemon are totally boring/forgetabble to me, didnt like the gyms and didnt like elite 4/champion. I barely finished Ruby the first time i played it because i wasnt having fun, i played Emerald later on, it did some good changes but i overall still dislike it. I havent bought ORAS tho, is it diferent/better or if i buy it i will have the same experience?

Played through Sun then Ultra Moon and I feel ya. Didn't mind the story much on my first playthrough, but oh man do I wish I could've skipped cutscenes in UM. Doesn't help that the story was almost identical before you get to Aether foundation.

Gen V easily
>Shit mon designs make it hard to appreciate the small amount of good mon designs
>initially locked out previous mons from other regions, except unlike Gen 3, none of the new shit was interesting/decent (or both) enough to use early game.
>Started the story focus, trying to give us something to think about, when it really just gave us justification to keep Pokemon in balls. Which is strange because HGSS did the most dealing with the relationship between people and Pokemon by showing (Pokewalker, Pokemon actually being able to be out of the ball, etc, having more mons in the region evolve by friendship), not telling.
>Speaking of telling, N was an absolute garbage manbaby beng manipluated by Ghetsis, who was vastly more interesting as an antagonist, but giving little screen time compared to that moron. N puts the entire world in danger with his ideals, but is actually just a puppet. Zinnia was equally as retarded, but at the very least she was retarded on her own.
>Gray and washed out as all fuck compared to other games, especially BW. But, hey you can enjoy the sewers. Gen 6 was glorious to look at as a result.
>Sold the least. Even with one more game than some trios, like GSC.
>Made all 3 starters unable to stand out from the previous ones. 3rd Fire/Fighting in a row shows that they really didn't care.
>Puppet animations look bad. Some of them even took the worst sprites from Gen 4, rather than the better ones. It made some pokemon look downright cringe (Stunfisk, Palpitoad).
>The most game changing thing it added was Hidden Abilities, with unlimited TM's coming second, and only being a QoL improvement. Other gens had: day/night, Friendship, Abilities, Physical/Special, Mega Evolutions, Z-moves.

gen 7 is where I finally gave up. I don't really like the idea of having like 20 different ultra beasts and being given basically unlimited amounts of all legendaries so I hated the portal stuff from gen 6 and 7. not to mention how they've made the shiny encounter rate so low for them. i got shiny pheromosa and a couple other ub's in less than 100 SR. fucking disgusting

Every new Pokemon was a weird forgettable shitmon, no night cycle (even though they put in time), have to buy every single game to complete the dex, FRLG are way too faithful to the originals, and you wanted to keep that shiny mon that took you months to breed and is your favorite bromon in GSC? Too bad, no backwards compatibility fucker
