What generation do you dislike the most when it comes to the pokemon themselves?

Could you please elaborate why?

        Whenever I think of 6's new Pokemon, I think megas. And Greninja. Most of the new Pokemon that came with 6 are pretty forgettable, and they managed to frick up the one new bug type. Most mons from here that aren't called Noivern or Clawitzer I forget easily.

        I have no idea how I forgot Gen 6. I guess it really is just that forgettable.

    The mons really feel like they were designed in 3D first and they end up looking like plastic toys.
    Plus it’s just a very un-cohesive dex. You’ve got a UFO ladybug, Roman Kirbys, a Gene Simmons badger, etc. and it just feels like a bit much. And it doesn’t help that the region/routes are absolutely tiny, so there’s no chance to do any theming and most of the mons just feel crammed into a vaguely-fitting corner.

    Croagunk, Garchomp, and Gastrodon are some of the only Pokémon I like from Sinnoh. The rest are really unappealing and the only explanation I can find is that it's one of Japan's favorite region so maybe they went hardcore in tailoring only to Japanese tastes. I don't like the starters, I don't like the cross gen evos, I don't like most of the legendaries, and I just realized that's most of the dex. I know a lot of the Pokemon are popular and a lot get official shilling like Lucario and Rotom but for me they have no appeal.

        both recency bias and the fact that SV as games are arguably better than SwSh
        besides, SV technically doesn't have a full dex yet (because we KNOW we're getting more new shit with the DLC), while every other generation is complete. Might not be too late for some people who hate gen 9 to find a new favorite in the DLC, like I did in Galar with G-Zapdos.

        That being said, these people are still moronic. 9 is at least as bad as 8 (even if I find it worse), anybody who says otherwise is absolutely deluding themselves.

    To be fully honest, I think Gen3 remains worst to this day. Other than Shroomish, Breloom, Mawile, and Snorunt, it is very hard for me to summon up appreciation for this dex. PLA made me warm up to Spheal. Registeel is cool I guess.

    It's definitely not a total dealbreaker for me or anything. It's the Non-Pokemon aspects that usually bother me about the games more, like Kalos not having any memorable characters other than the E4 milf, or Galar and Paldea just being generally repulsive.

    IX probably looks the worst. I like the Tinkaton line even though it looks like a Kirby character, there are some standout designs like Kingambit and new evolutions to old Pokémon, but a lot of the original designs feel like they don't even belong in Pokémon. I'd like Ceruledge in Medarot, but not in Pokémon.
    VIII has some designs I guess. I don't feel too strongly about them, Corviknight is cool, G-max Centiskorch and Toxtricity are cool, I'm the only one who likes Duraludon.
    For VII, I'm sick of people giving it a pass because "they show so much personality!". I don't care, I really don't. These are the people who like Platinum Lucas, Nate, ORAS Archie, and USUM Elio because they're soooo quirky and outlandish in comparison to their previous designs (using Hilbert here as a reference for Nate) and it just fricking sucks. There are Pokémon I like in Gen VII like Golisopod, but the personalities are borderline anthropomorphic, like Drampa is Dragon Grandpa, it's supposed to be like an old man. They could have made an aged dragon without humanizing it.
    VI has some solid designs, nothing I particularly hate other than Barbaracle, what the holy frick is that.
    V is there. I feel like since there are so many it's bound to have good ones like Braviary and Galvantula, but you also get ones that are just there. Beartic is a polar bear Pokémon, good concept, but it doest really do anything interesting with its design.

    7 was the last generation I liked but even half of those mons I don't feel super strongly about. I like a few pokemon here and there from the newer ones but generally they're dogshit because they're either autistically overdesigned or lazily underdesigned. I noticed gen 9 had the recurring gag/theme of pokemon changing 1 minor detail after evolving and that's it. Sounds funny in theory, in practice it's kinda disgusting. Also the cries are so lazy now, anons mocked me for being autistic last time I brought this up but the point flew past everyone's head, using a stock sample is fine if they change it significantly enough to sound unique. Using a stock sample that's been overused in all sorts of media and using it almost raw is what pisses me off. Pokemon like Chien Pao and Spectrier literally use Ed, Edd 'n Eddy tier sound effects with barely any editing that makes it sound unique to pokemon, compare that to something like Purrloin which is a cat meow but it sounds unique and specific, the equivalent would be like if they gave Purrloin that Oggy and the wienerroaches cat yowl with barely any editing over it, or if Reshiram's roar was just the classic Jurassic Park t-rex roar with some fire sfx over it. Oh and the evolution methods in sword and shield... what the frick even

    Hoenn. I was 10 when it came out and still crazy loved pokemon, and I played the shit out of it for 400 hours. Then, one day, out of nowhere, I stopped in whatever route I was in and stared at my character and realized I fricking hated it after all the time I had spent in it.
    The spritework was detailed compared to the prior games, but I hated the narrow shapes and coloring of almost everything. The trees, the trainers, the sprite shading. Gameplay-wise the pokemon were mostly a disappointment for me. The locations, though seemingly interesting, were kind of boring once you got over the 'wow it's a volcano' or 'ooh tree forts' factor. The music was bright and exciting for the first fifty hours but then it became too aggravating- the loud tracks, and the quieter ones. The town music was forgettable. The game trained me to keep my volume at 0% at all times. The routes weren't fun to run through after the first time exploring them, and I hated the common encounters. Somehow I hated Wingull more than Tentacool- but I didn't even have the option to catch a Tentacool.
    I still played with classmates, but I went back to gen 1+2.

    Usually when I play new games I try to incorporate new mons as much as possible.
    In Violet I used two paldeamons (Lokix and Garganacl) and two regionals (Toedscruel and I grabbed Iron Hands as soon as Area Zero was available)
    Paldea's just completely forgettable.
    Kalos suffers the same issue, but it at least had a few more decent designs.

      The kalos dex is like the highest percent of good designs. Partly because it was such a small dex. Outside of maybe furfrou(who hasn't been in for 2 gens) and vilillion, what mons are so forgetable?

        Furfrou would probably be more popular if you could change its style on the fly.

        The butterfly isn't forgettable the same way Spinda isn't forgettable. Except now it's more marketed than ever.

        Frick, I'm just moronic. Maybe the starters just clouded my judgment.
        It does make me think now that maybe smaller amounts of more memorable designs would be better.

            Almost every design just completely misses the mark for me on nearly every level
            There’s no cohesion amongst the design themselves, a lot of them are outright uninspired rehashes of older mon (but even more blatant this time- not like Unova where they at least try to execute older things differently), so many evolution lines just get worse as they go on and the worst part is that a shitload of CONCEPTS are actually really fricking cool in theory. Golden scarab beetle based on resurrection? Sign me up. Mimic-like with dowsing-rod antennae that gathers coins to build a new body? Sounds awesome. Motherfricking frigate bird that stores electricity in its sac and screams like the devil for its cry? Awesome!!

            These are some of my least favorite designs in the dex, save for Kilowattrel which I only dislike as opposed to outright hate.
            One-off goofy gimmicks taking center stage, bright and clashing colors, very blatant human-exclusive accessories or analogues/homages to them, extremely blatant theming meant to give an entire species a “role” to make them more character-like, not even the most minute attempt to fit into the series’ extremely loose stylistic standards, rehashes of old designs that are LITERALLY JUST those designs with a few extra parts on them being passed off as something new: these are the things I dislike in a design, and I struggle to think of a single Paldean mon that doesn’t fit any of these descriptors. Even the very few that I genuinely like tick off at least one of these boxes, it fricking sucks.

            As for overall generational ranking, it’d probably be like
            3 > 1 > 5 > 2 > 6 > 7 > 4 > 8 > 9
            or something like that.

            this list is incomplete because I really don’t like Noibat and it’s not on here so I can’t say I dislike it with this otherwise-accurate image 🙁
            same goes for a few megas like Tyranitar/Aggron but w/ever
            XY is a really mediocre batch, it’s full of mon I don’t dislike but don’t really love either. I like the vast majority but I can’t say I have strong feelings on more than a select few. Really really hate Dedenne and Sylveon, while disliking a few others and especially some megas (Aerodactyl and Charizard X are abominations), as well as really really loving the Skrelp and Aromatisse lines alongside the fossils and the dead forest friends, but otherwise it’s just alright. I remember disliking it less lol.
            If gen 7 was less focused on being wacky and full of “characters” then it’d probably win out over Kalos really easily. The only thing stopping Kalos from being the worst is the fact that I dislike most of the designs in the generations below it more than I am offended by XY’s mediocrity.

    Unironically, Gen 2. Too many of them are babymons, unfinished evolution lines, and just boring pokemon in general. It's a even greater shame that the few Johto pokemon I like are trade evolutions like Scizor and Steelix. I struggle hard to make at least half of my team be Gen 2 pokemon whenever I play the Johto games. And top it off, the only Johto starter I like is Feraligatr and I don't see the massive appeal of Typhlosion. Overall, not a very remarkable dex to me.

    Gen 9 for sure. There's a lot of Pokemon that are simply real world animals with little to no fantasy on their designs. Plus with the shitty 3D, I find it hard to appreciate them. They really seem like they were designed around being easy to model rather than looking interesting.

    The Paradox mons are some of the worst gimmick designs I have ever seen, in my opinion. Some are just a NFE with some extra bits and some are just a Pokemon but a robot, not even Steel-type sometimes.

    Gen 5, 6, 8 and 9 all have some of the most atrocious designs of any Gen, but Gen 5 also has objectively the fewest good early game designs and forces you to use them over the superior Gen 1-4 mons, so it is also by far the most egregious and hateable.

    It's a meme to say the most recent gen but honestly Scarlet and Violet have my least favorite dex of all time. There's less good designs than any other gen and so, so many boring ones that overlap. For instance, there's a huge number of boring birds and a weird fixation on dogmons. The fact that there's so much overlap is weird. And egregiously, there's things like the Pawmi line that just exist to waste slots with evolutions.

    In terms of Pomemon I consider favourites, Gen 7 added the least. However, the limited designs of 6 and the reliance on Megas takes away a lot from the dex in terms of variety of teams you can make, with reliance on old mons. To an extent 2 suffered this, but they have old mons that evolve.

        Maybe Sun/Moon or X/Y, that is when they have smaller selection of Pokemon where most of them feel like they "belong" to that specific culture or history of the place.

        On Alola there is the Yungoos/Rattata rivalry
        Totem Pokemon guarding a trial area
        The one Honeycreeper dance Pokemon
        Lots of good water or water-adjacent Pokemon who remind me of the beach, like Sandyghast, Toxapex Dhelmise, Pyukumuku (or however you spell it)

        Kalos has the Knight / Witch / Rouge starter trio
        Gogoat farm, where they produce dairy for the cafes in the city
        Furfrou hair stylists also in Lumiose City

        generation 3 is the only generation with less than 2 designs that I dislike
        Grumpig gets close, but I like it enough on its own merits for me to get over it honestly wasting what potential Spoink had. Salamence has always looked like dogshit to me, but that's it. Everything else is something I'm either pretty happy with, neutral on, or actively really like.
        I can't really explain why. I usually don't like pastels, yellow and green are some of my least favorite colors (despite them being on 90% of the dex for whatever reason), and I should really dislike the couple of gimmick pairs obviously made exclusively to shill double battles by my own standards (Plusle/Minun, Volbeat/Illumise, etc).
        But for whatever reason I really just don't. By all accounts I shouldn't like the dex at all, but it pulls through and is somehow my favorite. What the frick lol.

        Gen 1 is second place for just having a lot of solid variety. It's an extremely unique dex to this day, with a lot of variation in little things like concept or body shape, and yet it maintains cohesion through little motifs like the Toriyama eyes or oddly-prevalent pseudo-cat ears. The few designs that really don't work can be easily excused as early-day experimentation, and even the plainer designs are still interesting due to those aforementioned motifs.

        Gen 5 also gets a mention to satisfy my immense bias for having a bunch of my favorites of all-time, even if the dex itself is hilariously hit or miss. A lot of the early-game designs are really questionable, and not a single legendary or mythical save for the ones on the first games' boxes work, but it easily has the best late-game dex EVER and its midgame is also incredible. Seriously- full of so many home runs, but then you realize those home runs are on the same team as the elemental monkeys and Beartic and you question whether the team as a whole is actually great or if those star players are clouding your perception.

          Well I like all of the legendaries...
          But yeah I agree, the generation starts out with perhaps one of the weakest line ups out there. I'm glad they tried to do something new, even if it does boil down to "old concepts with a new lens" for most of them, and the quality is hit or miss very early on.

          I think the elemental monkeys are basic, but are perfectly fine for what they are.

            I'm not a gen 5 shill, and another of the designs don't do it for me, but there's unironically nothing wrong with the monkeys

    Either Gen 4, 8 or 9

      What's up with gen 4?

      I feel that gen had designs with a lot going on with them, perhaps negatively so.

    4,5,7, and 9 are a little weak imo. I think 1 and 2 are cream of the crop, and the rest are pretty good too.

    Probably gen 8 because it doesn't feel consistent and doesn't really feel British either. I wanted my Nessie Lapras and Excalibur Aegislash damn it.
    While gen 5 is my favorite I can understand why people dislike it. Honestly the dex has lows like the monkeys and the genies but then it has really high highs.
    Stat wise I can see why people dislike gen 2 and 3 dexes as they're filled with SLOW FRAIL MIXED ATTACKERs. Design wise though they're excellent.

    I stared hating the designs when they got more object-like. And when they threw in hideous bara mons.

    Now to me, especially in S/V, the pokemon look ai generated for some crappy mobile game and it really puts me off.

    I hate: a lot of S/M mons and S/V mons. Galar has a few I dislike to

    5, but not for bait reasons. I just genuinely have a hard time with the dex after Gen 4, breaching 500 pokemon makes it hard to glance and say "this pokemon is good at this and that" from memory, including typing, level up sets, etc. Sure, it's still only ~250 actual families, but once you hit a point where I can't remember all of names, types, loose sets and evolution methods and levels (not to mention base stats), it just becomes too much for me. I stick to pre-5 most days just because I play Pokemon for familiarity. I think I actually put my most hours into a single game into X (ballpark 500 hours) just grinding up shiny teams for comp play, but I can't say I actually LIKED gen 6 - just the ease of team building and shiny breeding, coupled with wondertrading my 4/5IV rejects to get neat shinies and legendaries as a sort of "prize" for each batch that didn't make the cut.
    Just could never get into 5, and never even tried to play 7-9.

      I can't say I passionately hated any one design until maybe gen 7. I hate Dedenne but not because it's a bad design, I hate Shaymin Sky but Shaymin Land makes up for it, Hoopa Confined is a mythical so I don't need to look at it much and Sylveon still has a reason to exist. Speculating on its type was also super fun.
      Dunno what happened. I think the franchise just took a sharp turn into a direction I greatly dislike. I don't even like more than 5ish mon in Paldea's dex, and couldn't say I liked more than 10 in Galar's even after DLC. Holding out hope that Paldea's DLC might bring me one or two designs I like since Galar's did that, but I have no hope for the designs otherwise.

    I don't dislike any gen and I'm fully aware that a whole lot of gen1 Pokemon are still the face of the franchise for a good reason but I'd honestly chose gen 1 and 2. The reason is that, starting with gen3 until now, I never wanted to use any Pokemon from those two gen in any newer game again with the only exception being Houndoom.

    For me, gen 1 and 2 are generations where almost all pokemons are 6/10 designs. After those there were a lot under 5 but also a lot above 6.

    Gen 6, there's not enough new Pokemon to choose from.
    Second place is Gen 5, it takes forever to make a team of 6 unique Pokemon due to the limited pokemon available early in the gam.

    Probably Gens 7 or 8 for me.
    Too many "make it longer/goofier" alternate forms or evolutions like Weezing, Farfetch'd and Sirfetch'd, Exeguttor, or Darmanitan.
    A lot of Pokemon that are just not pleasant to look at like Turtonator, Crabawler/Abominal, Eiscue, Galar fossils, Calyrex, Duraludon or Stonjourner. And Gen 7 was like the first time for me that I said to myself "Damn, I really don't like ANY of these starters."
    That said, there are a designs from both gens I really like, such as Type:Null, Silvally, Minior, Orbeetle, Falinks, the Galarian Legendary Bird forms, Grimsnarl's line, Corsola and Cursola, Glastier and Spectrier (a shame they're associated with Calyrex), etc. The other dregs just really bring the bens down.

    I think Gen 5 and 8 were the worst. I fully expected Gen 9 to be worse than 8 but was pleasantly surprised with some of the designs.

    Probably 6 since we are talking a relative term here, It has some nice ones, but between being the smallest roster, the least interesting Fairies (that it kinda leaned in on because it needed to fill out the typing even with the retcons) and frankly the worst set of Mythicals out of any gen it just stands a cut below the other on average, stil have several evolutionary lines i like in it, but that goes for every gen, doesn't help that it feels like a lot mons are ones i ended up associating with following generations rather then 6 due getting better used in those games (because Gen6 as a whole was very much a "Get upstaged by older mons" situation for anything that wasn't a Fairy, especially due Megas)

    Gen 9, partially because the modeling on them is legitimately bad.

    >all these gays saying hoenn because they couldnt teansfer their bros

    Predictable.
    For me, its Gen 6. Everything is too angular or too sleek, it feels like a pastiche of gen 4 and 5 without an identity of its own. They “girly” mons are too blatantly girly, and the cooler mons are too blatantly cool, if that makes any sense.

    Also had greninja, the best example of wasted potential in a starter evo
