1st, 2nd, 3rd

Where I started, always will be my favorite. Although 2 is a close second.

I added this from my other account. Sorry I voted twice... But, I must say after playing in the Isshu region in the Jap. version of pkmn it's amazing and not only because of the graphics...
I've been playing pkmn since the gameboy color...

4 and 5 too I (No offence too anyone by saying this) hate Kanto and Johto and especially Kanto its not the characters its the region being in every generation and Johto didn't keep me happy!

But generation 3 was totally awesome!

I LOVE HOENN

And did I mention Mudkip?
And a ton more reasons to me the downside was Firered and Leafgreen because Kanto appears again and thats my only problem with generation 3 as I had a 101 problems with the rest

If you have played the Japanese version of Pokemon Black and White, then you'd change your mind. It's a revolutionary game!
My favorite Pokemon from generation 3 are:
Gardevoir
Nuzleaf
Shedinja
Exploud
Latias/Latios
Lairon
Wailord
Flygon
CRAWDAUNT!!!!!
Metagross
Feebas
Treeko
There's a lot more to my list here for all generations though...
Oh, and my favorite generation is the new one (5th), I was just responding to @TeamGalacticFan

I have played Pokemon Black alittle on my emulator and its definately a close 2nd (now I think I messed that saying up)

But generation 3 just gets in that place if 1st

Aswell as Hoenn and Johto.
