In your opinion, there's no right or wrong answer.

My favourite gen is gen 2 because it was the first one I played.

The worst, in my opinion, is between gen 5 and 6. I wasn't fond of Unova at all, nor the introduction of the fairy types which is now my least favourite type.

How about you? ⌒.⌒

My favorite gen is gen 4, don't hate me, i grew up with it, it has some of the most amazing Pokemon, and cutest, thats why i died of that Shinx avatar you have even my top 5 favorite Pokemon is in it!

The worst? Ahh.. Oh! I know, gen 3. Yes, come at me. I hate gen 3 because of the Pokemon, first, they arent good, the only Pokemon i even like is Treecko and Spheal. The story isnt that great either. And all the hype it get. I just want to walk away. you can call me a total hipster now

My fav is Gen 6 cause that's where all the good stuff arrived!

The worst? I say Gen 1 cause of Missingo.

I like gen 6-5. Its really great in my opinon.
But I hate gen 3. It has crappy graphics, and overall its bad. Though, I like its remake.
EDIT: I only hate R/S/E. I like FR/LG.

Personally I love Gen 3 and 4 the best. I adore the regions and the nostalgia that come with the games and the better graphics compared to gen 2.

Gen 5? Ugh, not for me thanks. Unova is the region I am the least fond of and even though I like Sylveon, most of the pokemon felt to me like cheap re-makes. I usually have an immediate love for the starters in each game but in Black and White? Nope. I'm just not that fond of it.. T-T

C'mon, graphics aren't everything in a pokemon game!
For me, Gen 4 will always reign supreme- Not only were DP/P/Pt great, HG/SS were perfect remakes of the originals and will always last in my mind as a fond memory.

The worst is unarguably Gen 5. While it had enough features to keep me entertained 'til the end, it just didn't draw me in like the other Gens did.

@lindsaybug- Someone finally said it! Now I'm gonna say it again!

Personally, I favor Gen III. Most of my favorite Pokémon are from Hoenn, Contests were a nice addition to the games, and the anime was at its best back then. It has absolutely nothing to do with the fact I started to get really into Pokémon during Gen III.
However, I liked the plot and Pokémon of Gen IV (Sinnoh) as well.

Worst in my opinion? Gen I. I'm not even talking about the graphics (like ~Hatoko~ said, graphics aren't everything- I actually really like a lot of the R/B sprites). I'm talking about the shallow plot, there being nothing to do but battle, the abundance of glitches, and the game being too easy (probably because there's nothing to do but grind).
They've made a lot of improvements over the past twenty years, y'know?

gens 3 and 5 are my personal favorites, 3 having a lot of nostalgia value for me because i started with it, and contests are fun. not to mention i enjoy the look and feel of the GBA games. gen 5 introduced some of my favorite 'creative' pokemon designs (i still love trubbish) and a nice plot, not to mention neat animated sprites

gen 1 is my least favorite (even though my absolute favorite pokemon comes from there) , the glitches are a redeeming factor for me tho because i've always found them entertaining, not much else in gen 1 is very fun to me

Gen 2 is my favorite. Mainly because you could visit Kanto after beating the elite four. There was nothing more amazing then to revisit Kanto and see how much it changed from the first game. And after all of that you face off against Red. The protagonist of the first game. Maybe it's just me but I felt satisfaction for beating someone as cool as him. Also it's features such as the bug catching contest and the day/night cycle make it a fun experience in my book.

My least favorite is probably gen 3 specifically R/S/E(because FR/LG were perfect). Why do I consider it the worst? I just found it so uninteresting. I wasn't a fan of any of the characters, I found the enemy teams to be dumb with motives that just didn't make sense to me, and I wasn't a huge fan of most of the Pokemon.

My favorite would have to be gen 4. It was the first Pokemon game I ever got real into. Quite a few of my favorite Pokemon come from it and I always loved the mining feature. Four of my favorite trainers are from there, too~ (Thorton, Riley, Lucas, and Barry)

Least favorite would have to be gen 5. The only things I really enjoyed about it were N, Serperior, and maybe four other Pokemon. Overall I think it had the worst Pokemon designs and I could never get really into it, especially since I didn't even know which starter to pick as I didn't know what Serperior was. Why I didn't know what to pick? Because I didn't like any of them.

I adore gen one, mostly because I grew up with it. I've also grown fond of gen six. But don't get me wrong, I like gen 2 and 3 as well, but probably not as much as gen one.

After gen one, two and three I sort of lost touch with pokemon so gen four and five are ones I know least about, and though I tried to play the white and black games they never really pulled me in. :/ Maybe someday I'll try again.

---

For me, there's nothing better than Gen 1! I started with Pokemon Red and fell in love. And most of my loved pokemon are from Gen 1 :D
The worst would be Gen 5. These Gen just hasn't left behind an impression... I can't even remember all pokemon from this Gen :P

---

the first and the sixth are the best, the fiveth is the worst :<

---

I dont really have a favorite or worst...But I think the latest gens are....bit crap :\

My favourite gen is gen 6,because most of my favourite Pokemon are from there,it introduces the most stuff (3D gameplay,Pokemon amie,etc.).
My least favourite is gen 1 because it's boring,glitchy,not much storyline and the Pokemon are mainly ones I'm not intrested in except for a few like Ekans and Dragonite.Even my least favourite Pokemon comes from gen 1.

Best: Gen 6 - Fairy-type, 3D, Pokemon amie, new things, mega evolution that revamps old pokemon...

Worst: Gen 5- I dislike Gen 5 not because of the pokemon, but because of the anime. Anime Iris and Anime Cilan are problably the worst characters.

Hm, not sure if I can do this, but my favorite, or TWO top favorites are Gen 3 and Gen 4.

Let me tell you a story about my first ever game for my gameboy. Me and my parents walked into a store (probs walmart) when I was like 6. We walked past a HUGE box filled with gameboy game cases.
So my dad caught me staring, and told me to pick ONE game.

You know where my eyes lead me to? Directly to the case of an awesome green dragon saying Pokemon on the top.
I didn't know what pokemon was, I really just liked fantasy type things and monsters etc etc.
So I got that, opened it up in the car, and started playing.

From the moving truck, to the intro of Wally and your Father, to the rival/partner May, to the cool bikes and many fishing rods, to Team Magma and Aqua, to the Trick Room House, to the Legendary Pokemon...I fell in love with this game. It was the best thing ever.


But, a couple years later, I was given Gen 4 by my brother, Diamond in fact. The look of Dialga was so cool, and just the name...DIAMOND. I hopped right on in after not playing pokemon since I struggled with the first gym of Pokemon Gold, and playing PMD Red Rescue Team, and from there I loved the starter Chimchar. Looked so cool. (Btw, for Gen 3, my starter was Treeko).
I enjoyed the cool rivalry between you and Lucas? Idk his name. Then also Dawn was cool too.
The new features were so cool! Going underground, discovering new fossilized pokemon, having a Pokeradar, having the cool PokeWatch apps, having an online GTS for the very first time, and having all these cool legendarys...
Gen 4 changed Pokemon completely. Just look at all I mentioned. Gen 4 WAS the turning point.


Now, my most DISLIKED, has to be Gen 5.
So much walking...so much trying to go back and forth.
And the experience gains were so little.

The experience was like watching Pokemon, about to see an epic battle, but Team Rocket comes in a ruins everything and kills the mood.

The only thing enjoyable was...(having a hard time thinking here)...um....ummmmm....idk.
Maybe the ending with fighting N. That was probably the best part.

Everything was just lame.

My favourite would have to be generation 4 because although i grew up with yellow i was very young and got stuck at the 3rd gym, I played ruby and got to capturing groudon and quit, and love all of the 3rd gen starters, but i really learnt a lot playing Pokemon Diamond and it was then when i really became addicted to the games. Plus, gen 4 i feel did many Pokemon justice by giving them evolutions such as magmar, electivire, yanma, sneasel, and the list continues. i never really liked Piplup, grotle, monferno, and prinplup, but i really liked all the final evolutions especially infernape. Lucario (nothing else needs to be said on that). overall i just really appreciate the third generation especially the silver and gold remakes because you cannot help but love seeing your little dialga waddle along behind you, let alone interacting with it.

on the other hand, although i like the remakes of gen 2, i dislike gen 2 itself. i can appreciate the starters, typhlosion, meganium and feraligatr are all just awesome, but many of the Pokemon in gen 2 i find to be so... not needed. while i like magby and elekid, i seriously hate smoochum. surfing between olivine and cianwood with all of the tentacools was horrible (i know there is a similar case of surfing in most other gens but yeah). the zubats, oh wow the zubats. i know there are zubats in most games but i still feel with all the caves in gen 2 that this gen was the worst for zubats. why does hoppip know splash, it floats on winds, when is it in water splashing? i can appreciate celebi and lugia. i was a child with no internet and the only person i knew who played pokemon, so even if i wanted some of the cool pokemon that this generation offered i couldn't (slowking, politoed, scizor, steelix, kingdra, possibly 1 or 2 more). it left a lot of pokemon to be completed by gen 4 such as yanma murkrow etc, i'm not going to challenge the E4 with all these baby pokemon. i could go on for longer but if anyone is left still reading this i'm sure you wish to live your life and i would take up a lot of your time.

I don't want to get too wordsy so I'll keep it simplified: hand's down generation one will always be my favorite since not only was it the generation I grew up with but there's too many favorites within that generation for me to find anything bad about it. As for worst or least liked? I'd have to say the recent Alolan generation (there's some things I like about the games but I haven't been able to find myself grow too attached to any of the pokemon).
