Gen 1! Yellow was the first pokemon game I've bought and played when I was young.
Generation 1 (Red/Blue/Yellow/etc)
Generation 2 (Gold/Silver/Crystal/etc)
Generation 3 (Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald/etc)
Generation 4 (Diamond/Pearl/Platinum/HG&SS/etc)
Generation 5 (Black&White 1&2/etc)
Generation 6 (X/Y/OR/AS/etc)
Generation 7 (Sun/Moon/etc)
My siblings and I all vote Ruby! The aesthetics are pleasant, the Pokemon still make sense, and the nostalgia is a key factor in relaxing gameplay.
(Also glad to see Ruby is winning in the poll.)

I think Gen 3 is my favorite! love each of the starters so much and they have milotic
Gen 2 is my least favorite besides introducing espeon and umbreon, the mons didnt do it for me there....plus I have a huge hatred for Miltank...specifically Whitney's Miltank LOL
I like the classics. Gen 1 and Gen 2 all the way. I remember buying the gameboy pocket and gameboy color just to play yellow and gold/silver. Those were the days.
i just LOVE Gen 2 and the remakes on Gen 4
Johto has a special place in my heart, and Totodile is my favorite starter EVER!!!

overall hoenn, it's a beautiful region and had some of the most fun games. but also sinnoh for weavile lmao
Gen 5, followed by Gen 2 (even though HG/SS is a Gen 4 game, I prefer it over the original G/S.)
Gen 5 got a lot of shit when it came out but I always loved it. It has the most badass music and I found the games really fun. Plus the 3rd games were actual sequels instead of just another slightly different version of the first two games.
Gen 3 might be my 3rd favorite. Have a lot of good memories playing S/R/E on emulators when I was a teen.
I don't remember if I liked Gen 4 or not.
Gen 1 is the one I grew up with, and I like it for nostalgia, but it's a basic game which is understandable as it is the first. Future games upped plots and villain motivations.
I played a ton of X/Y but wasn't a fan of the story or characters, I mostly bred a ton of perfect IV shinies and cloned them to release into Wonder Trades, haha. I did love Mega Evolution though, and I'm sad it got scrapped. OR/AS was good.
Sun and Moon I'm mixed on. Story and characters were great but the hand holding and constant cut scenes frustrated me sometimes. I appreciate them trying something different with totem battles instead of gyms, and a friendly rival (even if I wasn't a fan of it, kudos for trying it out)
Haven't tried Sword or Shield.
Gen 1 and 3 were most memorable to me. I enjoyed the remake of gen 3 too!

Gen 2 was my favorite, and GSC were the best games IMO. Gens 1-3 are my favorites, though I've played/collected through SwSh. I think SwSh designs are stunning. I thought a lot of designs around 5-7 were boring or just not a style I really liked.
Gen 2 for me! Even though I started off loving Gen 1 as a kid, Gen 2 was more memorable and I definitely spent way more time on that than I should've lol.
I miss my shiny Voltorb that I thought was a glitch.. I didn't know shinies existed at the time XD
