>>47948714hoenn wins by a long mile for me, not just because i'm biased in favor of the dex but also because I just really love the designs and movepools of a lot of the early-route mons, save for maybe the typical three tropey mons (early bird bird, rodent, and mammal; and even then, Swellow is more than usable than most, zigzagoon should be declared a national treasure for its concept alone, and mightyena is a dog so it automatically wins my heart and it was the only pokemon I bothered getting to level 100 in ORAS)
I also have to give props to Sinnoh because it's almost the exact opposite of my problem with Hoenn (the tropes are fucking stellar but a fair amount of the other early-game mons aren't my thing), but manages to hold up its non-tropey mons better than Hoenn holds up its tropey ones and Kalos just for having so much shit crammed into its first few routes that you could feasibly build an awesome team with at least half of the mons included on them and take that team straight to the e4 with no problems at all
good thread OP, way better than the garbage doomposting stinking up the front page rn, keep posting more cool stuff please
