Preferred game for each generation

[Six Trails]

Which games do you prefer for each gen and for what reason? (Not including remakes like FRLG, HGSS, or ORAS, but do include B2W2.).

For example, in Gen 1 do you prefer Red, Blue, or Yellow? (Or Green)?

Gen 2: Gold

Gen 3: Ruby

Gen 4: Diamond

Gen 5: W / B2

[Captain Cadaver]

Gen 1: Probably Yellow
Gen 2: Silver
Gen 3; Emerald from the perspective on content. As far as actual merit in buying though, Ruby. FireRed if including remakes.
Gen 4: Platinum
Gen 5: White. Haven't played B2/W2, so I can't say much about them.
Gen 6: Y
