Is it just me, or has Gen V been getting a lot of hate lately?

Overall, I have more favorites from Generation V than from III, IV and VI. I use the word "favorites" loosely with some of these, but whatever:

III: Breloom, Gorebyss, Absol, Altaria, Catform (weather forms), Latias

IV: Rotom (original, fan and oven), Leafeon, Gallade, Porygon-Z (the Johto cross-generational evolutions are cool and useful, but their pre-evolutions look better)

V: Mienshao, Whimsicott, Lilligant, Zoroark, Reuniculus, Swanna, Galvantula, Braviary, Keldeo

VI: Floette, Heliolisk, Meowstic (male), Trevenant

VII: Oricorio, Komala, Mimikyu, Lycanroc (Midday), Ribombee, Tapu Koko, Nihilego, Alolan Marowak, Alolan Ninetales, Alolan Sandslash

As you can see, VII beats V, which is impressive given the smaller roster (although certainly, the Alolan forms help).
