Gamers Bar of Useful Tips: Which Pokemon Did it Best?

I've said alot on what makes a bad Pokemon game so lets see what makes a good Pokemon game.

Game Mechanics
Gen 7, the peak of good Pokemon mechanics, as it should be.

New Pokemon
Gen 3, all round they had it best.

Legendary Pokemon
Gen 3, They felt positively epic to watch.

Anime
Gen 4, Sinnoh was the anime at it's best.

Gym Leaders
Gen 1, The original 8 was just something special.

Elite Four
Gen 6 certainly gave them a unique personality.

Champion
Gen 4, not only best champion but best trainer in the franchise.

Rival
Gen 1, Gary Oak is just timeless.

Starters
Gen 3 is the only Generation where you can consistently build balanced teams across all starters.

Evil Team
Gen 9 had the most sympathetic evil team.

Evil Plot
Gen 6 wins it for sheer crazy.

World
Gen 8, Galar looks amazing but I am British.

Player Character
Gen 3, the only Generation where both are equally well designed.

Post Game
Gen 2, After the Elite Four, hey it's Kanto!

Navigation
Gen 4, Felt like a real journey with Mt Coronet.

Best Value
Gen 1, Pokemon Yellow as a companion to the 1st Gen.

Pokemon Professor
Gen 1, Professor Oak is timeless.

Best Plot Point
Gen 4, the Darkrai backstory.

Difficulty
Gen 2 has the most consistent difficulty curve.

Overall Best Game
Pokemon Gold and Silver
No contest, no other Generation has ever offered so much.

Gamers Bar of Useful Tips: Which Pokemon Did it Worst?

There's a lot of talk on the negatives of the latest Pokemon so let me straighten that out by asking which Gen did it worst?
Spoiler warning in effect, read at own risk.

Game Mechanics
Gen 1, I'm sorry but it's impossible to go back and play Gen 1 without feeling depressed

New Pokemon
Gen 9, sadly after looking through the list there are quite a high number of left field designs.

Legendary Pokemon
Gen 5, although close with Gen 8 but 5 made worst Pokemon movies.

Anime
Gen 5 was the worst, hated the extra characters and hated Cilan.

Gym Leaders
Gen 7's lack of Gym Leaders was it's biggest negative and I never really took to them that well.

Elite Four
Gen 8's lack of an Elite Four doesn't do it for me.

Champion
Gen 6, Diantha is dull and probably the least involved Champion I've ever seen.

Rival
Gen 8, he won't shut up, his name is stupid and is the worst part of the new game so far.

Starters
Gen 8, one of them becomes a FIFA mascot.

Evil Team
Gen 8's team is lazy.

Evil Plot
Gen 3's is still the dumbest evil plot.

World
Gen 5, based on the abundance of do nothing areas, not fixed until the sequel.

Player Character
Gen 5, again something that had to be fixed in the sequel.

Post Game
Gen 5, there really is very little to do.

Navigation
Gen 3 is probably the worst for navigation not to mention how irritating the random encounters are.

Shameless Money Grab
Gen 7 really didn't need a sequel.

Pokemon Professor
Gen 4, Rowan is probably the most forgettable.

Dumbest Plot Point
Gen 7, how to shoehorn in a legendary Pokemon no one cares about.

Difficulty
Gen 6, gave you three Starter Pokemon. There's holding your hand and there's out right taking a gun to a sword fight.

Overall Worst Game
Pokemon Black and White
They had to do everything in the sequel, including actually finishing the game.

Anime Radio - Episode 2

Welcome back to the Anime Radio, where we play Openings, Inserts and Ending songs.

Our opening today is Otto Dokkoi Nihon Bare by Rena Yazawa from Kyatto-Ninden Teyandee, if this series looks oddly familiar, you'd be right, it's Samurai Pizza Cats in it's original form.

Our insert song today is White Reflection by Two-Mix from Gundam Wing Endless Waltz, as a special, their music video is animated.

Our ending today is Sayonara No Matchikado by Risa Yuuki from Red Photon Zillion OVA Burning Night.

Anime Radio - Episode 1

Inspired by Kita Mikichi, I'm introducing a small little music show, there will be three per episode. Opening, Ending and Insert song, without further delay lets get started.

Our opening today is Twinkle Trick by Ayano Okuda from Rune Soldier

Our insert today is Eien no Melody by Michie Tomizawa from Sailor Moon

Our ending today is Mousukoshi Mousukoshi by Saori Atsumi from Midori no Hibi

Vocaloid Music Special - Doremifa Rondo

Vocaloid is full of variety so expect some more unique tunes to show up as we dive into Doremifa Rondo.

Miku is playing band leader accompanied by her marching doggo friend as they march across the landscape witnessing everything from animals to people doing the Rondo, the beat is very reminisce of a children's song but the meaning of the song tells you that you are not alone, stand up and join the Rondo, you'll feel better, a good comparison is the phenomenon of flash mobs, you can't help but feel joy witnessing it.
The song itself is dead easy to master and a million times more adorable in the Mirai games.

I've got a few of these planned so if there is any you want me to cover, drop a comment.
