Eh, every generation has its bad and good Pokémon.
I find a few Pokémon of the latest generation stupid as well (like Vanillite or how it's spelled. Basically just an ice cream... And Tepig - a fire type pig ...)
But gen 1 for example had Muk and Magnemite. Those were about as creative as Vanillite now.
Every generation has Pokémon that won't be as creative as others, but in my opinion that doesn't mean that one generation is better than the other.
But well, everyone has his/her opinion about it.
