I Have Played All Pokemon Games, And These Are The Best Pokemon By Generation

Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen on Switch followed by Pokemon Pokopia and then Pokemon Champions was not something I expected going into 2026, but here we are, and I’m very happy with all these Pokemon games being released — especially since I’ll have to wait until 2027 for Gen 10. I estimate that I have spent something in the ballpark of over 10,000 hours in Pokemon games since I was a kid, and I have played all mainline games and most spin-offs so far. I’ve come to appreciate all Pokemon games and all critters, even if I have my preferences. But, as much as I would like for each Pokemon to be equal, this is far from the truth.
