9. Gen IV

I never realized how devoid of fire types this Generation is. You have the starter, an unnecessary and inferior evolution to a Gen 1 mon, a meh legendary, and one of Rotom forms, which is pretty neat but I don't really give a lot of credit for Pokemon that have a lot of different forms with different types. Infernape is cool but not enough to lift the rest of this trash (including Chimchar). Magmortar sucks.

8. Gen III

I like Torchic a lot, but unfortunately don't care much for his evolutions. Castform Sun is kind of cute, but has the same problem as Rotom. The Numel line is fine and Torkoal is whatever, but they're better than Heatran and Magmortar.

7. Gen VII

Alolan Marowak and Incineroar are great, but the rest is really bad. Salazzle makes me uncomfortable, Turtornator is dumb, and Blacephalon is... I can't even put it into words.

6. Gen V

How high can Chandelure carry a generation by itself? Apparently 6th. Tepig is excellent but Emboar is a disgrace. The Larvesta line is kind of okay, I guess? I feel like it's growing on me recently. Victini could have been decent but mythicals are the worst. The fire monkeys suck and I don't care much for the rest.

5. Gen VI

Thank God for Megas because this generation is pretty rough without them. I like Pyroar, but that's about it. Two Charizards is kind of unfair though, and Mega Blaziken is a big improvement. Talonflame is solid but not great.

4. Gen IX

This is where it starts getting hard for me, cause the top 4 is all really good imo. I love Fuecoco, and while I'm not a huge fan of Skeledirge, he's still solid. Ceruledge is awesome, Chi-Yu rocks, Scovillain is neat, and Gouging Fire is really cool. Not a lot to nitpick here, but I guess I don't like Ogerpon much.

3. Gen VIII

Big boost from Arceus with Hisuian Typhlosion and Arcanine, but I also really like Cinderance, Coalossal, and Centiskorch. Really the only weak link is Darmanitan.

2. Gen II

Typhlosion is my favorite fire starter, and I'm a big fan of Houndoom, Entei, and Ho-oh. Even the Slugma line is pretty solid! Magby is the only one dragging it down.

1. Gen I

This might be the only time I rank Gen 1 number 1, but that lineup is god tier. Charizard and Arcanine alone could carry a generation, and then you throw in Ninetales, Flareon, Rapidash, Moltres, and Magmar. Fun fact: at one point long, long ago Magmar was my favorite Pokemon. Not a single miss and multiple all time classics. Fire started off hot (hehe) and kind of cooled off for a while, but things are turning around with Gens VIII and IX.
