Majority of Pokémon suck truth be told, it's only a handful each gen that are actually cool and the rest are middle of the road or shit/boring. I speaking about both design and stats.

>Gen1
Had some really winners , but had some that were fucking stupid or real wastes of space that could have been made for something interesting

>Gen 2
Extreme highs and lows the top tier designs were awesome, but there were many that were generic animals that honestly didn't need to be there.

>Gen 3

One of the biggest filler gens, we didn't need repeats of from the previous gens with atrocious stats, only a few were truly good
>Gen4
The most of the good shit was locked till post game this is where things started going down hill as more animal/item/plant cartoonified started appearing.

list goes on.

Would it be better to receive fewer pokemon per gen, but better mechanics/improved models, etc? Gen3 could have looked like ranger or Megaman bettler network if there were less mons and colleseum could have looked on par with gamecube games instead of reusing models/
