Region Wars

I would have to say Sinnoh.

We're only at the DP metagame beginning, that meaning, that all the OU Pokemon from DP are being tried out. So it's not a definit answer. However, I might be leaning towards them just because of the popular Pokemon we see.

Also, isn't Tauros a threat in Kanto?

Celebi and Johto.
 
This is basically a toss up between Kanto and Johto. Why? Because the other 2 gens don't have Blissey or Chansey =P

Personally I pick Johto because it's got the best walls (Donphan, Skarmory, Forrestress, Blissey, Suicune) and the best attackers (Heracross and Tyranitar, Raikou). Throw in some good BPers like Scizor, Espeon and Umbreon and some all-round pokemon like Celebi and you have the best gen in history.

He was a threat in R/B/Y.

They do have Milotic and Cresselia, though.

Just because a region has more pokemon that are OU now (like Sinnoh for instance), doesn't mean anything in a region battle, as different pokemon will come up and take other pokemon's place, making them OU for that region.

This could actually be quite fun. Creating a Kanto team would be pretty interesting.
 
You left Typhlosion, Suicune, Houndoom, Donphan and Steelix out of Johto. Some very very kick ass poke. Scarf-phlosion can kick some serious ass with Eruption, and I just added 3 more sick walls. Defense wins wars, Plus Johto is the coolest gen.
 
I like Johto most they have Tyranitar, Heracross, Blissey, Steelix, Donphan, Kingdra and many more good Johtos Pokemon are the most imported beacus many walls are in there and a beast the name Tyranitar and his ability to boost its SDef are so amazing can take hits good, can sweep many Pokemon.
100/134/110/95/100/61 are amazing stats and with Sandstorm boost its even more stronger. And it can be very good as a special hitter to like Boah. You can never scout Tyranitar if its a BOah or Dragondancer maybe choice bander to.
Unik generation.
 
I guess there are two ways to look at this...

You guys chose to go with the OU pokemon to measure the eras with. In that case, I definitely lean towards Sinnoh because of the offensive power those pokes pack. Infernape + Garchomp are probably two of the most ridiculous pokemon ever.

Now, if you want to talk Ubers... First of all, I think we would need to establish that there isn't more than ONE of any legendary since they can't breed.

In that case, The Wobbuffet Army™ would like to say hi. I hope you are packing status because my regiment of Wobbuffet's is going to make advancing on Johto nearly impossible. You will have to infect everyone with status and then wait for it them all to die on their own. Meanwhile you'll have to dealing with TTar Dragon Dancing behind the mass of blue-goo until he's ready to party with ridiculous stats. Sure, Rayquaza can do the same and do it better, but it's one against many since TTar can breed. Salamence might be a concern, but since TTar can get behind a sub, Salamence is going down in a head-to-head Dragon Dance fight.

Then again... Sinnoh has the pokemon deity on its side. So... Sinnoh wins again. GG

Gods(in general, I know there are exceptions) don't go to war:toast:

I'd say it as a tie between Kanto and Johto. Johto could stall the **ck out of most any team with wishpassers/bp passers/phazers/blissey/blissey/blissey, and did I say blissey? But Kanto's got my fav. originals and are pretty balanced. Chansey says hi, that fat blob in the 2nd gen. took my place. Lapras says hi, I'm the ORIGINAL bulky water. Gyarados says hi, I'm one of the biggest threats in OU. Snorlax says hi, me and chansey want to riot against blissey for being the fat blob of sp. defense she is today. And last, Mewtwo and Mew say hi, we're the two most unpredictable pokemon in the game save arceus(Don't know if we'll be counting legendaries)
 
Kanto.

Snorlax can do a good stand in for a special wall, BulkyDos can handle most physical threats you want to march in, Dragonite can set up a sweep and the rest of the Kanto family includes guys like Charizard, Gengar, etc.

The other Gens all have superstars, but the first is still the best.
 
Kanto:
Dugtrio, Alakazam, Tentacruel, Machamp, Slowbro, Gengar, Starmie, Gyarados, Jolteon, Vaporeon, Zapdos, Dragonite

Team:
Gyarados
Dragonite
Alakazam
Gengar
Starmie
Dugtrio

Pretty good

Johto:
Crobat, Umbreon, Wobbuffet, Forretress, Skarmory, Scizor, Heracross, Kingdra, Smeargle, Blissey, Raikou, Tyranitar
T
eam:
Heracross
Skarmory
Blissey
Tyranitar
Wobbufect
Crobat

Looks Good

Swampert, Sceptile, Flygon, Ludicolo, Breloom, Slaking, Ninjask, Medicham, Cradily, Milotic, Salamence, Metagross, Jirachi

Team:
Swampert
Breloom
Salamence
Milotic
Metagross
Medicham

Looks really solid

Sinnoh:Infernape Roserade, Bronzong, Spiritomb, Garchomp, Lucario, Hippowdon, Rhyperior, Abomasnow, Weavile, Magnezone, Electivire, Togekiss, Mamoswine, Porygon-Z, Dusknoir, Azelf, Cresselia

Team:
Roserade
Bronzong,
Garchomp
Azelf
Togekiss
Cressilia

Wow.



They all have there merits, and Dragonite, Tyranitar, Salamence, and Garchomp would own a lot of pokes.
X_x
 
Sinnoh pretty much dominates, but Johto I think comes in second or even ties, especially if it gets Wobbuffet. I think that Typhlosion, Jumpluff, Shuckle, Ursaring, and Suicune be noted :P

Darkrai would rape the Wobbuffet Army. immune to mirror coat and all.
 
Sinnoh needs more strong pokemon then every other gen, because nearly all of them are ugly as hell. ´

If we look at the 50 most used pokemon in january,
Sinnoh has the biggest percentage out of all generations.
I would put in some numbers, but the official shoddypage is down :(
 
Kanto is a mixed generation,with walls,sweepers,tanks,annoyers,anything.Dragonite hits harder than anything else with his Outrages.Alakazam has its impressive speed/sp.atk stats.Gengar and its unpredictable acts.Gyarados and his impressive force.Mewtwo was taken off his throne of king of pokemons by Arceus and now have company of Deoxys-A.Has one of the highest stats(135 sp.atk from Alakazam)not counting Ubers.

Johto has the nicest walls(even in UU,Guagsire/Shuckle anyone?)and the poke that hits harder than anything non-uber,Heracross,along with Tyranitar,which speaks for itself.Also with the crappiest pokes ever(Ledian?Delibird?),and the king of annoyance,Celebi.The worse Ubers though.3 of the highest stats are here,and they're all defensive(255HP from Blissey,230/230 defenses from Shuckle)

Hoenn looks more mixed like Kanto,but with more emphasis in typing and extreme stats.Metagross is the best typing for defense along the base 600 ones.Salamence has the best attack rating of all the non-ubers.In Ubers,we have 4 forms of Deoxys,Rayquaza and the weather changers Kyogre/Groudon.Has the other 3 highest stats(180/180 attack from Deoxys-A and 180 speed from Deoxys-S).But,not counting Ubers,we have Ninjask in speed.Ah,and Breloom's cheapness is here.

Shinnoh:The ugliest pokes EVER.At least,this generation brings the most powerful sweepers of all.Weavile and it's status of Gengar/Alakazam killer.Togekiss as the #1 annoyer.Infernape and it's abilities of breaking walls easily.Not to mention Garchomp.Ouch.Has 2 of the highest stats(135 sp.atk from Porygon-Z,together with Alakazam,and 170 atk from Rampardos...now,that's impressive).In Ubers,we have the extreme sweeper Arceus,the extreme wall Giratina...


My generation is Johto,only because it's the first i played(and it has Meganium,Lanturn and Furret,3 of the most coolest pokes ever!!)
 
Wow it's funny because I was thinking this exact thing this morning. I actually got around to making teams for them. Here is what I came up with.

Kanto:

Gyrados-bulkygyra is a beast
Dragonite-dragon danced outrages hurt
Chansey-basically a mini-blissey
Gengar-one of the most unpredictable pokemon in the game
Alakazam-very fast and has a great speical attack stat to boot
Machamp-no guard dynamicpunches hurt

Johto:

Skarmory-best physical wall
Blissey-best special wall
Suicune-after a few calm minds it can be tough to bring down
Heracross-this thing hurts a lot of things
Tyranitar-minus sandstream it is one of the best pokes in the game
Celebi-can do a lot of things

Hoen:

Salamence-one of the best pokemon in the game
Metegross-very sturdy and can hit stuff hard
Swampert-can take hits well
Blaziken-very tough
Milotic-is very sturdy
Medicham-highest attack in standard

Sinnoh:

Weavile-fast and powerful
Dusknoir-can take hits from both sides of the spectrum
Cresselia-see dusknoir
Lucario-great special attacking threat
Infernape-great mixed attacker
Garchomp-its garchomp. need i say more?

I think Johto wins this. Sure Sinnoh and Kanto have great attackers but Johto has more balance in terms of offense and defense. They have skarmory, blissey and suicune to take hits while tyranitar, celebi and heracross dish out poweful hits.
 
Kanto's walls:
Special: Chansey and Snorlax
Physical: Weezing and Slowbro

Johto's walls:
Special: Celebi, Blissey, Mantine and maybe Tyranitar
Physical: Steelix, Skarmory, Donphan, Forretress and Quagsire

Hoenn's walls:
Special: Registeel, Regice, Gardevoir and Milotic
Physical: Regirock, Metagross and Jirachi

Shinoh's walls:
Special: Dusknoir, Uxie, Spiritomb and Empoleon
Physical: Cresselia, Hippowdon, Gliscor, Rhyperior and Tangrowth

In my opinion, the best defensive generation is Johto. With the best special wall, and a lot of good physical walls. Hoenn and Shinoh are a bit weak in the special side, and Kanto can work with Snorlax/Chansey and Weezing/Slowbro.

Chansey btw is one thing they still have. Blissey's base stats aren't THAT much higher.
Click to expand...

I've read that the 5 extra HP and the 30 extra SpD is so good that Blissey doesn't need to invest in SpD. And 75 special attack makes for a decent special attacker compared to 35 special attack from Chansey.

I have so many fond childhood memories of the Kanto Pokemon, that I'm practically brainwashed.



There's a few key (and not so key) Pokemon you've missed here - Snorlax, Charizard, Venusaur, Arcanine and Marowak! They all deserve a mention in my opinion, especially Snorlax.
Click to expand...
No, no, especially Venasaur. Sleep powder, stun spore, leech seed, leaf storm, hidden power, swords dance, EQ, body slam... Vensaur has one of the best movepools and stat dispersion of any of the starters. It's actually capable of beating all non-CM versions of Blissey through a easy outstall.

Of the regions I'd probably favor Johto and Shinoh over the others but I've got a weakness for Khanto.

Now I'm just wondering why the OP reffered to Togekiss as mediocre.
 
Guys Johto FTW. Its not even a contest. Skarm/Bliss and T-tar. Name anything else thats had a bigger impact on the game. Plus Typhlosion is the most bad ass starter ever (even though gamefreak hates him).
