I personally see Gen 2 as the best, but not because I'm one of those purest people. The original Red and Blue were good, but Gold and Silver introduced so much to the franchise and most of it is still used even in the current generation. When Gen 3 came out, they actually took a lot of it out and replaced it with new gimmicks (contests, secret bases, ect), but I found them boring or useless features. Then Gen 4 came out and they were like "Bring back all the stuff from Gen 2, I don't even know why we took that stuff out in the first place."

Gold and Silver also had pretty much my favorite Pokemon, with later games having less and less Pokemon overall that I liked. So when I went to replay a game, I would find myself picking the same 6 Pokemon when in Silver I could end up with a different team every time. It also introduced my favorite Pokemon, Umbreon.
