Why is it a trend to mock Gen 6? Maybe it's because of the Kanto blindfold. Look, I Kan'to (ahah) praise Gen 1 designs die to how bland and uninspired most of them are, with only a few exceptions. Squirtle is a straight up blue turtle, Charizard is just a dragon with a burning tail, Dragonite is a cute plain dragon (and a missed potential, since Dratini and Dragonair were actually good), ... The only Gen 1 pokémon I really really like are Mr. Mime, Raichu, Starmie, the Bulbasaur line and Eevee. The rest are just to animal-like. They're perceived as iconic only and only because they were the 1st ones.
My list goes like this (with my favourite pokémon following):
1 - Kalos (I'm crazy for the Fennekin line, Meowstic, Clawitzer, Gourgeist, Diancie, Talonflame, Sylveon, ... pretty much all of them - they were so elegant and creative)
2 - Hoenn (Gardevoir, Grumpig, Absol, Mawile, Altaria)
3 - Unova (Gothitelle, Chandelure, Cinccino, Leavanny, the Snivy and Oshawott lines)
4 - Sinnoh (Mamoswine, Pachirisu, Piplup, Togekiss, Gliscor)
5 - Alola (Decidueye, Mimikyu, Alolan Ninetales, Oricorio)
6 - Galar (Orbeetle, Grimmsnarl, Frosmoth, Hatterene... I hate the starter lines, though)
7 - Johto (Ampharos, Jumpluff, the Cyndaquil and Chikorita lines)
8 - Kanto
