#3: Generation Six (X/Y)

Objectively, these are probably the best games in the series. And they are really great games, with the gameplay polished to perfection, stunning graphics for the 3DS (even if those graphics cause the framerate to suffer), and they're just generally great games. Why isn't Gen 6 at number 1, then? Something just feels...empty about it. Like it was rushed. Again, great games, but they're just missing something.

 

#2: Generation Three (Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald)

I love these games. They just do everything right for me. Despite the hate it gets (some of which is justified. I mean, there's a LOT of water..) I love the Hoenn region. The battle mechanics were improved further from Gen 2, with the addition of abilities and natures to add more strategy and complexity to the battles. The graphics are darn impressive for a GBA game, and the music ain't bad either. However, one gen did things even better, in my opinion, than this one.

 

#1: Generation Five (Black/White/Black 2/White 2)

If I'm gonna be honest, these games are only at number 1 because of Black/White 2. That's not the originals aren't great in their own right, because they are; the gameplay's great, the graphics are great, standard Pokémon stuff. Buf Black 2/White 2 are something special. They are, in my opinion, perfect games. It has all the same things that made Black and White great, and more. They have a weaker story, sure, but that it's only disadvantage. They also have possibly the best post-game of any Pokémon generation, including Gen 2 Kanto! I know I didn't do a very good job of explaining why I love these games so much, but I really, really do love these games.

 

Well, that's a wrap. But, stay tuned for my in depth reviews of each game! Same Callisto time, same Callisto channel!

I can get behind your reasons for all of this, Idk what my list would be regarding the Pokemon generations, but regardless I can certainly see why you have your list the way it is, and I can agree with many points you make.

 

As much as I loved gen 6, It does feel like it is missing something at times. It was still great in many ways, I certainly love it as I do all the Pokemon games, but it does feel a bit rushed.

 

I think the rushed aspect shines most in the endgame content, simply because it's very lacking in endgame content overall it feels. Besides online battling and breeding and stuff, there doesn't feel like there's alot to do unfortunately.

 

Generation 3 was fun, and stepped things up, and I quite like many of the Pokemon present in it, I like it, it's a very nice and solid game in my opinion, and I also really like the battle frontier in Emerald.

 

Gen 5 I think has the best story, simply because of N and a few other things, also the soundtrack is really quite great. It has tons of endgame content too, and a good bit of pretty cool Pokemon. 

 

The graphics and gameplay are both very well done for sure. 

 

I quite like Gen 5, and I have certainly considered it to be my favorite many a time, but I have a hard time deciding ;p.

 

I may decide to make a list some day, but it's quite hard for me to do such a thing, because I like different aspects about each of the Pokemon games really.

 

But yeah, I think you did a good job expressing why you like each game, and like I said, i agree on many aspects.

I only played to generation 3 (which I agree, would be second place on most lists because it's when things start getting "better" (gameplay and graphics). And yes — too much ocean :/ ).

 

Until I actually play the new generations, Gen 1 will be my favorite (Yellow Version FTW!! *Pika~pika* :3). Yeah, I got my nostalgia glasses on B)

Gosh I loved Gen 5. Gen 5 was just so much and just so incredible. I loved the region. I loved the pokemon. I loved the story. I just loved it. But overall I think I enjoyed Gen 6 the most.
