Have I mentioned that I'm getting back into Pokemon just in time for Gen VI?
Well. Okay. I am.
Here, have a long squeepost about I SHIP THIS and so forth.

I don't know how to feel about shipping anyone with Hugh. He kind of drove me nuts. Mayyyybe . . . Hugh/Youngster Joey, then? :P
III is Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald. Partly I just dislike them for completely extrinsic reasons like the fact that I was an angsty teenager when I played them the first time, so they tend to conjure up shitty memories. But also, I found the whole Team Aqua/Team Magma plot awfully dumb. Diamond/Pearl were also kind of forgettable, though. I didn't play them until after I'd played Black, actually, because I'd already kind of given up on Pokemon when they came out, and they sounded forgettable. In the event, I didn't dislike them, though, but I did find them distinctly meh. Like . . . they introduced lots of important things (Arceus!), and I did like Cyrus and Team Galactic, but the whole thing didn't cohere.
Gen V is definitely my favorite, though. It feels like they were trying to reinvent Pokemon since RSE, and they didn't fully succeed until BW. And yes. All hail the king!
I still haven't decided on X vs Y, which I'm now pretty happy about, because (uh, spoilers below)
The leaks have revealed that there aren't very many new Pokemon --- like 70 --- but the ones there are are awesome imo. Some of them are some of the best-designed Pokemon I've ever seen. So if any of the ones I like are version-exclusive, I really need to know before I make any buying decisions.
