Actually, the 4th generation was actually pretty good in terms of Pokemon designs. It's the 5th generation which I can't quite get my head around. Legendaries of the 3rd generation are also quite..blocky?

Almost as bad as Squirt + Turtle, right?

Squirtle rolls off the tongue, though. Turtwig makes it very clear that it is two words smashed together. Turtwig is also the best starter in all Pokémon, fyi.
Anyone who says anything other than Gold/Silver (and by extension HeartGold/SoulSilver) is horribly, completely, and irrevocably wrong.
Generation 2 on Gen. 4 mechanics (i.e. HeartGold and SoulSilver).
Gen 4 was alright, but Gen 3 & 5 didn't need to happen. At all.
I actually skipped generation three. And I haven't bought a generation five game yet either. I probably should, but I can't be asked.
I actually didn't mind Diamond's Pokemon -- except was that the one with the seagull Pokemon?
smurf that seagull.
Gen 2, hands down. You got to visit all of Kanto, as well as the new Johto region, you had 16 gyms to battle through, the elite 4, and your rival, and then you got to ultimately fight the champion from gen 1 for one epic final battle. The new pokemon were awesome and fit in perfectly with style of the original 151 (none of of this weird looking stuff that doesn't look/feel like a pokemon), a day/night cycle and timed events, as well as numerous other features. It is now, and shall forever be myfriendfavorite pokemon.
This space intentionally left blank.
Gen III brought in the seagull. D/P/Pt were excellent games
So the consensus seems to be that everyone loved Gen II and its remakes. WE MUST ALERT GAMEFREAK HQ

I think in order of my liking of each generation:
No. II - Large world, improved many of I's faults and oversights. Interesting new type and good designs.
No. IV - Should have been II's spiritual successor. Again, good story, nice pokemon, good features etc.
No. I - Is the original, and is the only game where you "might" just catch em' all.
No. V - Haven't played it, but the pokemon designs seem farfetched and I'm not compelled to buy it.
No. III - Didn't float my boat. The water to land ratio was just huge! Designs seem blocky.
What I didn't like was No.5 bucking the trend of the "third game" of the generation as well. Red and Blue were joined with Yellow, Silver and Gold were joined with Crystal and it goes on. Why did Black and White decide rather than just one sequel (grey?) instead they go with Black Version 2 and White Version 2. @#!?'#!!!!!!
Second Gen (Gold/Silver/Crystal) will always be my favorite at heart, but I have to admit Gen 4 (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum) was the best. Not only was WiFi battling a big deal, but the attack mechanics getting an overhaul was HUGE. Before Gen 4, an attack was either special or physical based on it's type. Example, all fire attacks were special attacks. Gen 4 changed it so that the move itself was either special or physical. Flamethrower is special, and fire punch is physical. This made WAY more sense and made a bunch of useless pokes actually useful.
Gold/Silver is my favorite, and others are also great. When I saw the cover of new game Fantasy Adventure on Dotmmo site, I decided to play the game because the characters are very cute. And they look like fat babies to play cosplay. That's kawaii!

It'd be a clash between Gen 2 and Gen 4.
Gen 2 was amazing. It expanded on everything Gen 1 had. What isn't to like?
I was a HUGE fan of Gen 4. I only wished it gave a little more after game content. I always thought that after Gen 2, you should have access to regions like Kanto or Johto for more gameplay and challenge. For some reason though all you get is that tiny island. Which was really lame. I was a huge fan of the contests, Pokemon, and Gym Leaders. Piplup being my absolute favorite.
Gen II has Typhlosion. That pokemon is virtually unstoppable!
Though can I just say as a warning, I really hope the next generation somewhat balances this problem:
It is beyond annoying. Whenever I confuse the enemy, they seem to always snap out of it quickly.
