Every Pokémon generation, ranked from worst to best

Rather than ranking the mainline RPGs — an exercise that has been done to OHKO — we wanted to do something a little different for Pokémon’s birthday. How does each generation of games in their totality stack up against each other? We’re talking not just the big new mainline games but also all the spinoffs, remakes, and expansions released in the years associated with those games. Through that exercise, it becomes more clear how not just the RPGs but how the series itself has evolved in three decades.
