Maybe it doesn't deserve to be here because of how many mons are forgettable, but I've never minded that stuff is forgettable as long as it's high quality. I really don't believe there's a single outright bad design in gen 3, and the mons that do stand out do so in a way that really appeals to me.
>5
It's a regurgitation of gen 1, but it improves upon it immensely (bar minor legendaries). A couple of outright misses like Beartic and Terrakion, but they can't all be winners.
>6
It feels wrong to put this dex so high with how bad some designs are, but god damn its highs are high. I can forgive Volcanion given that the dex gave us mons like Dragalge, Gourgeist and Tyrantrum.
>7
Same deal as gen 6, but its highs aren't frequent and high enough. Gen 7 also gave us regional variants, which I will never warm up to.
>4
Gave us the best starter set by a mile, but it makes some pretty big blunders at times. I still love its strengths, but I can't pretend I don't understand why people hate it.
>2
It's alright, I suppose. Some good hits, but it feels like Gen 3 in terms of filler, except it has actually bad designs like Skiploom.
>1
You can tell this was the first generation. Designs have a beautiful simplicity when they work, but they're very experimental, and sometimes struggle as a result.

If you told me every gen 8 mon was getting retconned, there would be only one pokemon I would notably miss (that being Perrserker). I have never been fond of gen 7, and I recorded my thoughts on every new gen 7 pokemon when the dex was leaked. They were fairly positive across the board, so I can say with decent certainty that I'm not excessively biased against gen 8. Granted, I was somewhat hyped for gen 7 while I haven't had any gen 8 hype at all, though, so I can't deny that I'll likely warm up to it later (although even when I was most frustrated with gen 7, I still thought decently well of its dex).
