I'd say Gen 5 since I enjoyed the story, OST more and that's when I got into Pokemon hardcore. But c'mon, HG/SS are simply the best of the best! Plus, Gen 4 made some corrections that needed to be made since Gen 2. So my answer is Gen 4.
Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.
