 Well based off of what everyone has said, not only in this thread but just anytime it's mentioned, it has made a thought cross my mind:

Regarding the pokemon themselves, if the pokemon of the 4th Generation had been made as the 2nd Generation instead, would people still complain about how they look? Or is it just because the 2nd Generation was the '1st' new generation ever introduced and that's part of why people like the 2nd generation pokemon better, because they've got a lot more history? I'm saying that because personally, I don't think as a whole that the pokemon of the 4th generation LOOK that much worse. Of course there are some ones I don't like, but there are in EVERY generation, at least for me. The 4th generation was no different.

Now I can see the argument though for other reasons why the 2nd generation might have been better, because it introduced MANY brand new things to the games, totally new concepts that make it memorable. The day/night time cycles, the ability to breed pokemon and hatch their eggs, it brought on two brand new types, Steel and Dark. There was a lot, and it connected Kanto and Johto together so you could even go BACK to Kanto, which was an enhancement of the experience. Now by the 4th gen the experience is getting stale, I can understand that part.

I just personally am not as huge of a fan of the 2nd Generation as most seem to be. They were good, I liked a lot of the pokemon, but there were ones I also didn't like. The same goes for the 4th generation, there are ones I like and ones I don't like. I'm sure the same will be with the upcoming 5th generation, too.

And on the subject of pokemon names, I do agree that the 4th generation totally dropped the ball on MANY, many pokemon's names, I agree with that. I'm sorry, but 'Lickilicky' seems just plain lazy.
