Favorite individual dex of the nine?
KANTOOOOOO
>>58251770kanto spent a while being milked too hard but genuinely it’s great, it’s the foundation for the whole franchisei love hoenn’s a lot too, unova has high highs but the quantity there is the big angle not consistent fire designssinnoh has some great lines and a lot of whatever ones, it was sorta a small dex and had a lot of johto/kanto evosalola would be better if that gen didn’t hate the speed stat, also i don’t fw two of the three starter lines which is a bummer (rowlet/decidueye carry the trio design-wise)
>>58251770>KantoSome great ones, but pretty basic at times. >JohtoOnly works because it's supplemented by Kanto's dex. They work off each other.>HoennProbably my favorite. High quality mons and a decent amount of pokemon. Also, it added some kino ghost types. >SinnohNo fire types/10. I've played Sinnoh games so much that I'm kind of sick of seeing its pokemon these days.>UnovaHas the quantity but not the quality.>KalosHas the quality but not the quantity.>GalarHigh highs and low lows. I really stuff like Frosmoth/Centiskorch/Appletun. But shit like Calyrex or the fossils are the worst designs in the franchise. >PaldeaGood mons weighed down heavily by the paradox mons being whatever tier to dogshit tier, design-wise.
Odd gens > Even gens every time
>>58251770Hoenn. Even though it has vile and unfixable shitmons like Swalot and Gulpin, it's mostly great.
>>58251809Swalot feels like Stockpile is supposed to be its whole gimmick but that entire move series never caught on / wasnt good enough.
>>58251770Probably Johto, the Pokedex looks the best.Honestly they are all fine till gen 5 then Pokemon leans into stupid hologram stuff and then Rotom Pokedex's.If your talking about the Pokémon in the region then Hoenn.
Hoenn.Everything is abysmal from Unova and on.
>>58251770Are we talking about the pokemon or the actual pokedex itself? Sinnoh has my favorite design for the actual pokedex.Pokemon wise it's probably either Hoenn or Unova:Kanto has a very balanced selection, a lot of really boring mons, some really cool designs, and a good chunk of extremely ugly designs.Johto has high highs and none of its designs are as bad as the worst of Kanto, but is overall extremely boring.Hoenn feels like a better Johto, still keeps the highs, still doesnt have anything as bad as the worst of Kanto, but the average design is somewhat less boring than Johto.Sinnoh designs are generally pretty cool, but there arent many of them under all the cross-gen evolutions which are a major mixed bag compared to the solid selection of new designs, still has it's stinkers though.Unova is the all or nothing, either a design is really really cool, or its fucking ugly, there's almost no inbetween, has the lowest lows of that era but probably more "really cool" designs overall than the previous gens outside of maybe gen 3.Kalos is less offensive than Gen 5, but also starting to veer into johto-boring territory. Its got some cool designs but as a whole the roster feels extremely plain.Alola just doesn't really feel like pokemon to me for whatever reason, I can't judge its designs as a whole as a result, but it has a few standouts.Galar has like 2-3 new pokemon that are cool and the rest fucking SUUUUCK.Paldea was the first time I legit had trouble putting together a team though, I do like some of the designs but there are just so fucking many ugly ones.
>>58251770>PaldeaDespise paradoxmons & convergents, I like the treasures, the crossgens, Greavard, Charcadet, & Smoliv but everything else feels like they just made new mons cause they had to. Also has so many 2 stage lines that should have had 3.>SinnohSo many forgettable mons in this dex that never found their footing. Shit like Burmy, Pachirisu, Cherubi, Shellos, Stunky, Glameow, Bronzor, Finneon, there's likable mons here but so much of this dex is packed with shitmons>JohtoSame problems as Sinnoh but there's higher highs. Can't really hate since it was always supposed to be "Kanto DLC", but judging it on the criteria I'd judge the other dexes, it's weak as hell>GalarA few years ago this would have been #9 but I think my ire for Paldea really made me appreciate how competent Galar was. Grimmsnarl, Hatterene, Grapploct, Drednaw, Frosmoth, Pincurchin, shame the starters are the worst in the franchise though.>KalosI pretty much like this entire dex other than Spritzee, Swirlix, Helioptile, and Binacle lines. 70 is just piss poor.>AlolaFeels like nu-Pokemon at it's best, so coherent and unified in their tropical theming. You can FEEL the ecosystem here, and the Ultra Beasts are sick.>UnovaLess consistent than Alola or Kalos with garbage like Basculin, Bert & Ernie, Klink, and the monkeys, but giving us 156 new mons will produce some duds, and really I just respect BW for giving us that soft reboot experience and (mostly) sticking the landing>KantoNot much to be said, all time classics, I probably can't even judge this dex fairly because almost all of it's mons are engraved into my head>HoennBest starter trio, great 3 stage lines like Metagross, Gardevoir, Aggron, Walrein, Slaking, large enough that you can put together plenty of teams, really really solid. So many mons here that feel just as iconic as the Kanto classics despite coming about firmly outside of Pokemania.
>>58251770Hoenn closely followed by Sinnoh
>>58251770>KANTOOOOOOOOOOOORock solid and timeless designs, wish they weren't shilled so hard so I wouldn't get tired of seeing them.>JohtoMy personal favorite dex. They get bashed for having basic designs, but it makes them feel more grounded. The house I grew up in backed up to a farmland and I used to imagine the farm and wild animals were Pokemon and imagine how the Pokemon would live in the wild, which I think endeared them to me.>Hoenn10/10 overall. Hoenn had the perfect balance of cool, cute and goofy. Also, a very distinct design language that makes Hoennmons stand out.>SinnohThe cross-evos are a mixed bag, some kino ones like Yanmega, Gliscor and Mamoswine but it also gave us shit like Lickilicky. We didn't need more babies. Spiritomb, Toxicroak and Bronzong are A-tier. Carnivine and Wormadam are the Pokemon of all time.>UnovaDistinct design language, like Hoenn, though not as well done. A good amount of Unova mons have an "oh yeah, that exists" feel to them, but they're some standouts as well, like Darmanatan, Krookodile, Golurk and Volcarona. Also, the Vanilite and Trubbish lines are overhated.>KalosBest designs since Hoenn, but stuck with the smallest dex due to Mega-wank. We were GENUINELY robbed by the beta Pokemon being cut.>AlolaOn par with Kalos, with the quantity to back it up. The Ultra Beasts are one the best things Gamefreak ever came up with. My only real knock against Alola is not liking the final evos for the starters.>GalarA few good ones like Grimmsnarl, Corviknight, Grapploct, Falinks and Appletun, but most of Galar ranges from mediocre and forgettable to downright atrocious. I actually like most of the base form Pokemon, but then they shit the bed upon evolving (see: Rolycoly line). It be the worst dex in the franchise if not for...>PaldeaAgain, a few good ones like the Charcadet line, Dondozo and Lokix, but also like Galar, most of the mons are forgettable and/or suck and the dex is bloated with Paradoxshit.
>>58251770i've run the numbers before and gen 3 comes out to an astounding 21% of my top 100 mons, the next closest are gen 2 and gen 7, tied with 14% each.
>>58251897>Also has so many 2 stage lines that should have had 3And ironically a 3 stage line that should’ve been 2
>>58252478so true anon i don't like arboliva either
I thought this thread was about the gadget Pokédex. In which I think Rotom phones are the better ones.
>>58251770sorry it has to be kanto
Paldea
>>58252569You should die.
Alola. Very thematic and cohesive, with even the obligatory gimmick shitmons being memorable.As far as I’m concerned the pre-launch period for Sun/Moon was the best period of nu-Pokémon because all the designs are so fun and imaginative. Every reveal got a load of discussion and fanart.
>>58251770Alola, Sinnoh, Johto and Hoenn are very good.Personally I love Unova but most of it is a Kanto remix so I'll have to go with Alola or Johto I really enjoyed a lot of the new Pokemon.
>>58251770>The PokemonAlola > Kalos > Unova >Johto > Hoenn > Paldea > Sinnoh > Galar > K*nto>The Pokedex machine itself:Johto > Unova > Hoenn > Sinnoh > K*nto > Kalos > Galar/Paldea > Alola
>>58251770Hoenn. as much as I like hgss the sinnoh dex has way too much garbage in it. gen 3 is the last dex I thought was 100% good
>>58251770probably kanto or johto. i dont like most designs from gen 5 and on
Johto is my personal favorite dex overall, but I do acknowledge the fact that it's very much a supplement to Kanto's dex. I just never really saw Johto being a supplement to Kanto as a bad thing, because it's really good at being one.
>>58252203>meganiummy MAN
>>58253192hell yes brother, hell yes
>>58252763>obligatory gimmick shitmons being memorablewhich ones, oricorio? wimpod?
>>58254368Wishiwashi is the ultimate shitmon. Grade A visual design, unique gimmick, viable in pretty much anything you want to throw it at. It's like an anti-shitmon.
>>58254368I was thinking of Oricorio and Minior
kanto will always be the best because that's what i grew up with
>>58251770For me its Hoenn
>>58251770have they seriously kept the stupid rotomdex from 7 this whole time? At least swap to porygon or a new mon, Christ.
>>58251770Kanto>Jotho>>>>>>>>nu gen shit
>>58251770sinnoh>unova>kalos>johto>kanto>shit>alola>hoenn>paldea>galar
>>58251770If you answer anything else I honestly can't take you seriously, sorry.
>>58254682technically they did swap from rotom dex because now you aren't given a "pokedex" at all, you just have a phone and it has a pokedex app or something
bump because i like this threadfor once it's nice to have a thread comparing gens while (mostly) not devolving into genwarring

>>58254368Oricorio, Wishiwashi, Minior, and Mimikyu are all good designs with form gimmicks yeah.
>>58251770The only good ones are those from the first 4 gens
>all these people saying hoenngrim
>>58256088We had a poll before Gen 8 and Hoenn beat Kanto https://arch.b4k.dev/vp/thread/39122246/#39122246Full results are here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17ne51l0NkIqdRPzsV0r50Iut8et8Hc7_GCcSeY30XTk/edit?usp=sharingOut of 821 eligible Pokemon, 200 of them got 0 votes and 156 of them only got 1.The top 10 is:Volcarona (63)Aggron (46)Gardevoir (42)Metagross (42)Flygon (40)Scizor (39)Tyranitar (37)Garchomp (37)Umbreon (34)Torterra (33)Here's how many votes each gen got, and the average votes for each Pokemon of that gen.

>>58256088What is yours?
>>582517704 > 2 > 3 > 1 > 9 = 6 >> 5 > 7 > 86 would be below 9 but I'm not sure how to exactly categorize the megas since there's a few I particularly likeOtherwise this is basically the mathematical order based on my favorites.
>>58255557fuck's sake, we had something good going on here
>>58251897Shitmons =/= bad designs, anon
>>58256359sure but your whole dex can't just be full of forgettable useless mons, if i cant use ur pokemon on a team itll affect my enjoyment of the dex
>>58251770>KantoYou can't mess with the classics, some absolute standard-setting designs here. But being the first gen there's also some oddball designs because they hadn't quite figured everything out yet>JohtoVery nice dex, nothing super outstanding but it felt like a nice extension of Kanto, making the world more fleshed out. I like that in a lot of ways it feels more rural than a lot of Kanto, reflecting the region nicely>HoennThe best. Large amount of new pokemon and most of them are fantastic. Not too many duds. >SinnohSome good pokemon here, but overreliant on (pre)evolutions of previous pokemon. A bit of a mixed bag>UnovaVery large dex with a lot of effort put into it. It has some of my favorite pokemon while also having some of the worst. High highs and low lows, not much inbetween>KalosGeneral quality of the designs is pretty good, I wouldn't say there's any outright bad designs here. However, there's also very little truly great designs either. Everything is decent but nothing sticks out too much. The low amount of new pokemon is also a detriment.>AlolaDefinitely my second favorite. While it also has a low amount of new pokemon, the designs are generally very good, and it is by far the most cohesive pokedex in the entire series based on reflecting the specifics of its region. Truly feels like a tropical ecosystem. In the same vein, introducing regional forms as pokemon that adapted to new environments was a stroke of genius.>GalarProbably the worst of the bunch. A few great designs, but most of them are bland or just bad.>PaldeaGenerally good, but pretty wonky. I think by trying so hard to finally have another 100+ new pokemon dex, there was less quality control and some undercooked designs got through. No idea why Pawmo or Flamigo exists at all if only to pad out the dex to get to a bigger number.Hoenn > Alola > Kanto > Unova > Johto > Sinnoh > Paldea > Kalos > Galar
>>58251770Hoenn best dexSinnoh close second and only competition
>>58256088you are a salty contrarian
>>582517701 > 3 > 6 > 9 > 2 > 5 >>> 4 >>> 7 >>>>>>>>> dogshit >>>>>>>>> 8
>>58256120>I don't give a fuck about facts, only my feelings matterspoken like a true toddie
>>58251796you are missing alola
>>58258105you are seething
>>58258098kino art
>>58258116can't be that low when it has Grimmsnarl, Eternatus, Hisuian-Zoroark, and some others
>>58258124why would I seethe when my lot is on top
>>58258129yeah I like it too
>>58258133because you're insecure
I like Hoenn and Unova for being more unique and relying less on previous gens
>>58258130Grimmsnarl sucks, Eternatus is only cool in Eternamax, and Hisuian Zoroak while great IS a late addition to an originally shitty dex
>>58258156t. Impidimwit fairyfag
>>58258164I hate the whole line
>>58251770I'm a sucker for Alola and UnovaSinnoh gets extra points exclusively for Porygon-Z and Roserade
>>58255868The only issue with Mimikyu is that it really doesn't work as an speciesEither give it different cosmetic forms where they wear other pokemon costumes, or make it a legendary or something Sivally tier
