Would you ever consider of making a top 5 favorite Pokemon generations in the future as Gen V is at an end?

What, like… order them from best to worst?  I don’t know; I sort of think they all had good points and bad points.  Actually I’ve always thought that, for each generation, you can pick out one or two things that it did better than any of the others.

Five had the best storytelling (well, so far, anyway), with a plot that finally tackled an issue that has made people uneasy about the Pokémon franchise from day one.

Four made the most beneficial mechanical changes, which (in my view) essentially completed the battle system, most notably the reclassification of physical and special attacks, but also the addition of a glut of new items, moves and abilities.  Most (but, I hasten to add, not all) of what Five has added to that has been largely superfluous or gimmicky.

Three, I think, had the best music (personal taste, of course, but still) and the best-written Pokédex (seriously, it did; look up the entries some time and compare them – this is the only generation where the writers have put serious thought into giving us new information about old Pokémon).

Two, in my opinion, did very well with that vague thing called ‘atmosphere,’ which consists of many small things and is, of course, impossible to define, but a couple of contributing factors which I think worked very well are the way Two did legendary Pokémon (my full thoughts on the matter can be found here), the related fact that the games have a more detailed plot than Red and Blue without developing the ‘apocalypse complex’ of the next two generations, and the numerous callbacks to the first generation, particularly through the use of the Kanto areas (something Black 2 and White 2 have picked up on and continued).

And One… well, One was, let’s be honest with ourselves here, kind of a mess but it had that sort of glitchy charm to it, didn’t it?  Besides, that was what started it all, and none of the rest would be here without it, and surely that has to count for something.

The thought occurs that I haven’t actually answered your question, but hopefully this will have given you some amusement.
