I'm asking based on the pokemon available in the respective generations and not necessarily based on the games or anime.
Answer the poll above.
It would be nice if you could state a reason as well.

Let me know if its in the wrong section.

The designs started to become shit ever since Unova. But I like the games for Unova because of the triple battles, the NYC-based setting, and the story was actually on the level of Pokemon Movie 1 and Pokemon Colosseum.

I don't have an opinion on Kalos, because I haven't played the games or watched the anime or anything.

In order, in terms of Pokemon ONLY (designs, abilities,etc.):
1. Johto - Has some of my favorite pokemon (Umbreon, Espeon, Celebii).
2. Hoenn - Most nostalgic region for me.
3. Kanto - Where it all began, classic pokemon.
4. Sinnoh - Too many legendary pokemon, and Arceus just ruined things.
5. Unova - Good ideas, but shit designs.

Johto pokemon were really cute, and I really liked how the Gen 2 legendaries were few and far in between, but they also carried some sort of tale with them, so they really felt meaningful.

1: Hoenn (Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza are my favorite legendaries + the landscape is awesome. I also like the fact that the enemy faction differs from all 3 games)
2: Unova (The storyline is actually really, really good. I do agree that the 3D effects are complete trash though)
3: Kalos (That's what you get when you have completed the Pokédex in it, 350+ hours and I have to say that the game is still quite amazing)
4: Kanto (Childhood ~)
5: Sinnoh (No comment)
6: Johto (One of the most boring ones IMO)

If you generalize, you're wrong.

For me, Sinnoh is the best. Why? Very simple, Luxray, Infernape and Lucario. Three of my top 10 favorites. And also, it was my first, so there's that too. After Sinnoh would be Kanto. The likes of Arcanine, Charizard and Jolteon are more than enough to put them high up in my list. Unova was great too, especially Lilligant. I don't know why, but Lilligant easily became one of my favorites. I have yet to play much of Hoenn and don't have a 3DS, so no Kalos and am only halfway through Johto, so I'll reserve my thoughts on that until later.

TL;DR version:
1. Sinnoh
2. Kanto
3. Unova
Don't know much about the rest.

Nope, GSC is still the only one to do that. Gamefreak should do a Pokemon MMO, with the players able to move to other regions. Of course, they'll be adding regions to the game as new gens (and therefore, new regions) are released.

My order is:
1. Johto
2. Unova
3. Kanto
4. Kalos
5. Sinnoh
6. Hoenn

But honestly each gen has its own charm and things that i like so hoenn being last dosen't mean i hate it.

Gen 1/2, but mostly Gold/Silver. They were just tons of fun to play. Lots of school bus memories.

I don't know why we have to keep having new threads for this.

Kalos has some stupid pokemon and i think steel and dragon types have been nerfed a little too hard.
although greninja and yveltal aren't too bad. kalos only has 3 legendaries, with one of them being completely stupid.

i've only played Black 2 (Unova), Y (Kalos), Emerald (Hoenn) and Fire Red (Kanto)
so out of those

Hoenn
Kanto
Kalos
Unova

somehow... playing the unova region just felt like a massive chore compared to the others.
i don't know everything
i just know what i know...

After the Sinnoh region, the pokemon design seemed to be churned out without much consideration. You even have a Pokemon that's named Trubbish. Just wow.

I've always... always been watching you... This whole time... Because you were there... That's why I was able to try hard. So you could have some balance! So you wouldn't treat me like a kid!

What the hell is with this poll setup?
Wouldn't it have been easier to just choose your favourite generation, not assuming that everybody liked all the preceding ones?

My vote would have been four, but I despised three, thus the provided choices aren't valid.

just fucking with you. mostly.
actually, I really do hate this setup. go TC!

The originals not only in style, but also in competitive battle too, as my competitive team consists of mostly Gen 1 and it murders just about everything.

Gen 3 gets a special mention too though and a runner up prize.

I see what you did there. Enough of the jokes, I never did use trubbish, so I don't know of it's stats. While I'm on that, I've never used Muk either, so I don't know it's stats either.

Every generation has a set of awesome looking Pokémon, and a set of horrible ones. For every Arcanine, there's 3 Voltorb's, for every Pangoro, there's 3 Klefkii's. etc.

As for the games, the original first 2 generations have aged so horribly that they're only playable because of nostalgia and getting a laugh from horrible sprites/bad AI. Replacing the remakes for the originals, the generation of games, for me at least, go like this:

6>4>5=3=1>2


Haven't seen the anime of Gen 3 till 5, but I'm really liking the X/Y season so far.

Klefki always makes me think that Gamefreak is well aware about people hating Pokémon like Trubbish and Vanilice. So they made the most retarded looking Pokémon in the game also one of the best to use.

The latest gen, X/Y on 3DS. ;)

OT : My favourite is Johto, I loved the starter a lot, and I also have really good memories since it was one my first video game ever (on a Game Boy Color Pikachu Edition with TLoZ : Oracles of Seasons and Pokemon Yellow).

If I had to rate, it would be : Johto>Kanto>Kalos>Hoenn>Sinnoh>Unova
