For this poll, exclude the spinoffs and remakes. In my opinion, generation IV was the best by far. Here's why:
-plenty of new Pokémon (not that less than 70 crap that we got from generation VI)
-great looking Pokémon (not the stupid looking ones we got now like the trash bag and lei)
-ALL new starters are great (no lame pigs, chestnuts, or "pop stars")
-first truly hard-to-get Pokémon
-first truly evil villain team introduced (team rocket is evil? Give me a break...)
-first haunted house and ghosts
-best storyline yet
-mining for fossils
-distortion world
-toughest champion yet
-most legendaries introduced at once, and all are cool (the singing girl from generation V and the automaton from generation VII are NOT cool)
-strongest Pokémon lore wise yet
-added a bunch of ACTUAL evolutions (not this mega/primal/regional crap that we got nowadays)
-first Pokémon that would give people nightmares
-first game that was super easy to cheat in via action replay
... and much more. So, do you agree or not, either way, voice why!
EDIT: I'm seeing a lot of people voting for generation I, and my question to them is WHY. Generation I is not in color, has a bunch of game-breaking glitches, has a nearly non-existent story, and only 151 Pokémon.
EDIT: I've noticed that many of you are simply voting and not commenting. Please at least do a bump after you vote, just so we can keep the post going.

I have a very big appreciation for generation 3. I played then the most, and have ruby, emerald, and omega ruby. Omega ruby was my first 3ds Pokemon game. I jumped from a ds lite to a 3ds. Personally I think it has Good starters Cool looking legendaries Ok storyline Islands (Unique Towns) A good cast of Pokemon Of course this is just my personal preference. I've just bought Pokemon moon and have been loving it as well. All Pokemon games have pros and cons, partially what makes them greater than each other is from what you do in the games.
