The entire interface from Gen 6 was close to perfect. Should've stayed in SM.

Gen 3: running shoes and double battles

Gen 1: simplicity, how the battle music somehow manages to sound cooler vs your rival than other trainers despite being the exact same. Strangely enough I like how items are all in one place and you can only carry 20, too. It seems more realistic to me -- rather than stuffing each compartment with 50+ things -- but most importantly it teaches organizational skills
Gen 2: the graphic design and world in general is kino as fuck
Gen 3: good story and cool postgame content
Gen 4: amazing map design and world building
Gen 5: some maps have a very distinct and unique atmosphere unlike any other Pokémon game (probably because based off of a new country), some that I could relate too, however I was disappointed it was based off of only NY instead of the entire northeast.
Gen 6: I really liked Lumiose City
Gen 7: Ultra Space in USUM in its totality was akin to the Distortion World, Ultra Beasts are "weird" but really cool in their strangeness and viciousness.

Best | Worst
>Gen 1 - Nonlinear progression; The midgame could be approached in a variety of orders, allowing for most Pokemon to be accessible within the first half of any given playthrough | Game Corner; One of the best designed Pokemon is locked behind a shitty slot machine minigame. Who thought this was a good idea? The slot machines have always been boring bullshit.

>Gen 2 - Atmosphere; From the color direction, to the new mons almost being treated like cryptids, to the large number of circuitous paths and optional areas and side areas interconnecting the region, Johto has the best atmosphere of any region. It feels more like an adventure than any other region. | Kanto; After the level of detail and attention put into Johto, the return to Kanto feels less like a continuation of an adventure, and more like a Megaman-style boss rush in an amusement park version of Kanto.

>Gen 3 - Pacing; No other Pokemon game is paced as well as Gen 3. No point feels empty or tedious; the game flows smoothly from event to event, area to area. The structure of Hoenn makes backtracking easy without making it feel small, and nothing is frontloaded or backloaded in terms of content, barring Contests in Emerald. | Difficulty; People say the new games are easiest, but did they never play Emerald? Gen 3 are the easiest games by far, and even the harder battles just manage to stand on-par with moderate battles from other games.

>Gen 4 - Difficulty; While not hard games by any means, Gen 4 provides moderately more challenge than the rest of the series. This makes challenge runs more interesting as well - Nuzlockes are more fatal and Monotypes have to be more clever. | Bad precedents; People complain about no Battle Frontier now, but they cut it right away and added a half-assed semiclone in Platinum. Spiritomb required 32 friends with the game or an exploit. Manaphy required playing a spinoff game. Regigigas required transfers.

>Gen 5 - Narrative; The Unova games do a better job at making the player feel like part of the story than the other narratively-driven games. Between the semi-dynamic battle music in important battles, the player being part of the Legendary's lore, and the paralleling and development with N, Gen 5 felt like a shonen anime starring (You). | Replayability; Gen 5 are fun games. But the intro, the Pokestar Studios tutorial, and the slower midgame segments make replaying it feel a chore compared to other games.

>Gen 6 - Replayability; Despite the high number of cutscenes, past the intro they're a lot less intrusive than Gen 5 and Gen 7, and the rest of the game's replay value makes up for it. Kalos takes advantage of the massive Pokedex to give you a wide variety of Pokemon at all times, for all manner of tastes and playstyles. New Exp Share and Megas allow for a dynamic difficulty, and the campaign is fun to play through. | Endgame/Postgame; Kalos feels frontloaded. The final Team Flare conflict feels rushed, and everything afterwords feels like an afterthought. I love playing through XY, but the last segment feels like they ran out of time. The postgame is serviceable, but shallow compared to the past couple gens.

>Gen 7 - Art Design; The characters, the new Pokemon, and the new environments all look great. There's not a single Alola Pokemon I dislike, and I can't say that about any other Gen. Every character sticks out, which is more than I can say about any other Gen. The notable locations, like Po Town, the Aether Paradise, and Ultra Space, are some of the most visually appealing in the series. | Execution; Gen 6's story had missed potential. Gen 7 as a whole felt that way. All this great aesthetic buildup, all these narrative threads, all these gameplay innovations, for a game that feels incomplete every step of the way. It makes me sad, thinking about what could have been.
