Surprised this list was about how many iconic Pokemon were in the dex as opposed to the dex as a whole. Honestly, while Kanto started it all and has the most iconic mons because it was first, it's dex is far from the best, and that has a lot to do with balance. Some types only have a single line to represent them. And in game, because fighting had very few viable moves, it was pretty much a throwaway. Both of those are symptoms of it being the first awkward step into the Pokemon world. It's hard for a lot of people to accept or let go of, but while Kanto isn't the worst gen ever, it's absolutely not the best one.
