TopicBest Pokemon Generation by Type, Day 10: GRASS

I've done this style of poll contest once before, back in either Gen VII or Gen VIII, so why not try it again now? The rules are simple: each day, I'm going to post a poll for a given Pokemon typing, with each generation's roster of new Pokemon filling in that typing. You just need to look at what each generation had to offer, and select which generation you think brought the best new roster (for any reason; you could say that a single Pokemon was so good that it overwhelms everything else the generation spawned, or you could select a generation that may be more well-rounded that the one that created your personal favorite). At the end of the day, one generation will be crowned a champion (with potential tiebreakers if need be), and that generation will advance to a second round, where the eighteen winners, and fourteen strongest runner-ups will be sorted into a 32-entrant tournament to crown which generation produced the best overall roster of a single typing.

After Flying gave us the lowest votals of the contest thus far, Ghost went above and beyond (pay no attention to the extra hours of runtime) to score the biggest votals through the first half. And aside from Gen II (for obvious reasons of Misdreavus flying solo), every generation had its defenders. Eight generations finished within 6 votes of one another, but ultimately the foursome of lines introduced in Gen V reigned supreme. We wound up with a tie for second place, which could cause problems for the wild card bracket, but I figure I can deal with that if it becomes an issue.

For today's contest, we're doing Grass-types. This is the first time (and I'm assuming not the last, since Normal and Water are both still incoming) that I've had to condense not one, but TWO generations into lines, rather than highlighting EVERY individual Pokemon, because there are a LOT of Grass-types in some generations. Which one is going to inspire the strongest feelings overall? Given Gen VI's limited roster, I have folder Mega Evolutions into their list, as those were, effectively, some of the new Pokemon created in lieu of brand new designs for Gen VI. I'll keep the same concept for later typings as well. Note: I will not be considering things like Dialga/Palkia's form changes in Gen VIII, as those are still technically the same in the way Giratina's form change was back in Gen IV.
