Which Pokemon gen had the best characters?

[Warmmedown]

Gen 5 is the clear winner to me, thanks to N - although I've never played gen 6 onwards. Finally a villain who could easily have been a hero in another story and basically raised the questions a lot of people thought of when it came to Pokemon and forcing them into balls etc.

I agree, I think Gen 5 is the best generation character/plot-wise. It's too bad the graphics and Pokémon were shit.
