Hoenn E4 objectively has the best E4 music so naturally Hoenn is the best.

Kanto, Johto, Unova and Kalos are all great.

Hoenn suffers from a huge lack of diversity. I swear half the members of the elite 4 used 3 of the same Pokémon on their teams.

Sinnoh was just forgettable, but had the best champion.

Alola reused too many trial captains.

The issue for Kanto is that the Elite Four didn't have the variety of Pokemon necessary for their types, I'm not just referring to lacking enough Dragon, Ice or Ghost Types but also the secondary type variety, the only type combinations for those Elite four in Gen 1 were;
Lorelei - Ice/Water, Ice/Psychic
Bruno - Fighting, Water/Fighting
Agatha - Ghost/Poison
Lance - Dragon, Dragon/Flying
They really needed more type variety.

I actually quite like the Johto ones, they feel like a noticeable step up from the Kanto ones although I'm disappointed they didn't capitalize on the new Pokemon as much, it would've been good if Will and Karen got some pre-battle development since we've already gotten to know Koga and Bruno a bit. Also Will's team doesn't reflect his character design desu.

Hoenn's while conceptually interesting is very boring, Phoebe and Drake are very cool in terms of concept and Sidney's not too bad but Glacia is boring as shit and the fact not one of their types is new in Gen 3 was a failure imo, they also suffer from the same issue as Gen 1 with the lack of secondary and even primary type variety, this is averted for Sidney and Drake but not for Phoebe and Glacia.

Sinnoh I also like but they had by far the worst iteration of poor types to the dex relation, Flint shouldn't have been an Elite Four member in DP, it's good they fixed it in Pt but even still Aaron didn't really help prove Bug-Types were improving given his ace was a Drapion and the overall members of Bertha, Flint and Lucian's teams were underwhelming mainly due to the lack of Pokemon variety for them to use, it's a shame there wasn't a Steel-Type elite four in Gen 4 since then you could have a starter on three of the four elite four members.

Gen 5 is fine although I don't like that their teams got dropped down to four, also we face the secondary type issue again, Caitlin and Marshal's teams suffer because of this.

Kalos is disappointing not because of reasons we saw in the previous generations like poor type representation or bad Pokemon team lineups but more so because they just used bad Pokemon, the only one of them who felt like their team matched them was Siebold, also Malva feels like Salazzle fits her character way more than it should have any right to.

Gen 7 is definitely an improvement from Gen 6 and I'm glad they went back to 5 Pokemon for the Elite Four finally, Kahili has a cool team but I feel like due to Gen 7 just lacking Pokemon they couldn't make her team really fit her character. Hala's team was very basic and suffered from the same issues as Bruno's team back in Gen 2, Molayne mercifully averted this although his team doesn't fully match his character and Dugtrio isn't even a Gen 7 Pokemon. Olivia's team felt better in USUM but neither team fits her character which is a shame because unlike previous Rock-Type specialists Olivia feels like she breaks the mold of that character archetype and seeing Pokemon that reflect that would be good. Acerola has Pokemon on both SM and USUM that would fit her character well but I don't really know why she doesn't have a Mimikyu, Dhelmise doesn't really fit her character either so having Sableye and Banette instead of Dhelmise makes more sense to me.

Overall I go with Johto simply because I like Will and Karen's potential but they're not the best league when it comes to the battles or music, battles would have to go to Gen 7 whilst Music to Gen 6. The worst is either Gen 1 or Gen 4 although I'm most disappointed by Gen 3.

Also, I'm surprised that Sinnoh isn't farther ahead. Maybe it's because I had to face them more than once, but I spent a fair amount of time planning around troublesome team members and that made the experience rather memorable. Also Bertha is underrated.

I think Sinnoh suffers from having an underwhelming Elite Four, if we were counting the Champions then Sinnoh would btfo the competition but we're not and that's probably the key difference.

Well, I didn't find Sinnoh's E4 to be underwhelming. They were challenging fights to end a challenging region. I might've had more trouble with them than I did with Cynthia, though that's probably because I had based monkey on my team.
