Also: F***ing Fairy type. D*** it Game Freak!
Only sad thing for me was that Pokémon didn't add Lucario in until next generation:(

Well mew was a gen 1 pokemon. But I agree gen 3 was good but not my favourite. Heck heres a list of each gen and how i feel about them in order of least favourite to most:
Gen 1: Hear the genwunners rage. In all honesty gen 1 sucked. It had outdated graphics for its time, the designs were horrible and it was full of glitches. The only thing good about it was nostalgia and that's it. I do love the music from the first gen though it is not my favourite by any means.
Gen 5: This gen gets a ton of undeserved hate. I know I'm ranking it low on this list but that doesn't mean i don't love it. Gen 5 had added a lot more from the previous games that I just loved. I thought the music was great, team plasma's whole thing was different and I liked seeing how they decided which legendary you get. Other than that though, there wasn't really any pokemon i thought were really cool. I liked Haxorous but there were better dragon pokemon from previous games.
Gen 3: Yup. Gen 3 is my 4th favourite region. In all honesty I loved most aspects of emerald. The added abilities which were a huge game changer in competitive and on top of that 2 of my favourite legendaries. It also added Metagross my favourite steel type and Salamence who was my favourite dragon of that time and my second favourite to date. The problem I had with Hoenn was the region itself. I. Hate. Water. There was way too much water for its own good and it just irritated me. I didn't like the design of it and that's why its 4th.
Gen 6: The most beautiful Pokemon game ever made. The change to 3d was a well done one and definitely improved how incredible the game felt. Having pokemon from every gen was good but introducing mega evolutions to older gens was something better. A lot of my top 10 pokemon got mega evolutions which made me happy but Charizard (my second favourite pokemon) getting 2 and 1 changing him to dragon type was much better. I loved the games from the moment i saw the trailer and Yveltal instantly stood out. I knew to play Y first and now Yveltal is one of my top 10 pokemon out of how badass he is. My only real problem is that it was WAY to easy. Not once did i ever really feel challenged like in previous games.
Gen 2: My god the masteriece that is Johto. This game is so brilliant. The beautiful region, the incredible pokemon Johto is just wonderful. Introducing the types dark and steel to help balance out the psychic type was clearly needed. Johto had a variety of legendaries including Lugia who just barely misses my top 10. After finding out about dark and steel types i decided i had to get one of each. Therefore I got a Houndoom and Scizor, 2 incredibly powerful pokemon. I love the music and the fact that you not only play through Johto but Kanto to was brilliant. I was all the more impressed when I found out that the remakes Heart Gold and Soul Silver were coming out on the ds. I got both of the games and played non-stop building my old team. I can't say much that i dislike about gen 2 but if I had to pick something it would be Miltank. You know the one...
GEN 4: By far, the best Pokemon gen of all time. It was the first to be on the ds and it looked amazing. It is my favourite region design and has the best pokemon available to it. It introduced the physical special split which was the biggest impact on competitive battling added to pokemon. Now moves like leaf blade and fire punch were physical instead of special which made a lot more sense. The music was just fantastic whether it be Cyus's team galactic boss theme or Cynthias champion theme it was brilliant. The legendaries were the creation trio Dialga, a steel dragon that looks amazing, Palkia, the beast with spacial rend and Giratina my FAVOURITE legendary of all the games. It also added Arceus the 'God' pokemon and Uxie, Azelf and Mesprit. It adds Regigigas going back to previous legendaries Manaphy and Heatran and of course Cresselia and Darkrai. So many incredible legendaries at once. But i didn't forget about Shaymin. It's a hedgehog which is my favourite animal what else can I say? Anyway gen 4 adds more of my favourite pokemon than any other gen totalling to 6 out of my top 10! This includes #10 Staraptor, #8 Luxray, #6 Giratina, #5 Lucario, #3 Garchomp and #1 Torterra. This gen did so much right and will remain in my heart forever.
