I rated every pokemon's design on a scale of 1-5 in order to see which regions I "objectively" like the best and least for pokemon design.

Cool list, I agree with most of this. But whats up with the mega gyarados hate? Thats one of the coolest megas.

I'm not a fan of how it goes from Chinese dragon to a lobster tail.

I 100% support this comment.

This looks extremely tedious but also fun and interesting to try. Did you make this visual yourself?

It was more time consuming than tedious. I did make it myself. I screenshotted my tierlists for each gen and put them together into this and did all the math.

Darn, I was hoping there was a site you could go to to create your own list. Well It looks good; I assumed I was going to have to squint to see everything but it was large and crisp.

The only site I used was tiermaker to make my tierlist ratings. The rest was just done by me in gimp. It is a nice way to see what you actually think of pokemon designs of each gen. I didn't realize how much I like Kalos and disliked Alola design, relatively speaking, until I looked at the stats.

That does seem interesting to see. The only thing I'm pretty confident of is that Hoenn would be the lowest scoring for me, but who knows how everything would play out.

For pokemon with multiple forms I only rated one form which was the one I liked most. However mega evolutions, regional variants, and dynamaxes were counted separately. To account for this I also analyzed the standings of each region when such pokemon were removed from the ratings as they could be considered alternate forms as well.
Hoenn has always been my favorite gen so I was not surprised to see that I liked it the most for 5/5 pokemon, but I was surprised to also see that Johto tied with it.

wow, this image's quality really is something...

I've never been so offended by something I 100% agree with
lol
These are of course just my personal tastes. And if I am being honest I think that if I waited a week and did it all over again certain pokemon would end up with higher or lower ratings because my feelings towards certain designs change with time. The general regional rankings would probably mostly be unchanged though.
I'm hoping combusken would be a 5
I love Combusken since Blaziken is one of my favorite starters if not my absolute favorite, but I always felt that the design was just slightly less stellar than Torchic's and Blaziken's. It's not bad by any means though since I still think it's a 4/5 so it's still an above average design to me.
I love blaziken too. I have a shiny one called kfc
