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.

The tournament has now begun. The discussion topic is here: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80744044 and the bracket is here: https://www.bracketmaker.com/tlist.cfm?tid=478370

Gen III won its match-up yesterday, but today there's no option OTHER than Gen III. Yes, Gen III Dragon--which had a lot of representation in the first match of the round with Gen VI Dragon being packed to the scales with Mega Evolutions--faces off against Gen III Psychic, with several of the same Pokemon in the form of the Lati@s duo, plus a few big names with three-stages to their line. These were two titans of Gen I, and it seems they held strong into Gen III, but only one can win and advance to the final four.

ugh I can't choose between Flygon and Gardevoir

or Metagross and Salamence

or Jirachi and Rayquaza

...though DARGON has Altaria and Psychic has a few I don't really care for much (Grumpig being the most guilty - what a waste of a Spoink), so...

Koala why must you hate what I love? Must our mutual love of Vincent Valentine remain our only common denominator for all eternity?

For the record, my personal opinion is that Dragon has almost no duds, while Psychic has quite a few and shouldnt have made it this far to begin with. I feel like the duds are getting carried by Gardevoir and Metagross.

That's pretty much why I voted for Dragon. It has a much better ratio of good Pokemon, although Psychic has more good Pokemon overall.
