I had to think about this a lot, since there's generally like 2 or 3 really obvious picks in a gen and then like 10 other Pokemon I would say I'm fond of but aren't sure if they'd be top 5. Overall, I think Gens 1, 2, and 5 were the hardest to pick only five from.
Gen I
Bulbasaur, Ninetales, Lapras, Eevee, and Mew
Honorable mentions to Sandslash, and all the eeveelutions which Eevee is partially standing in for.
Gen II
Typlosion, Furret, Mareep, Umbreon, and Suicune
Honorable mentions to Espeon as it and Umbreon are the best eeveelution set, Raikou and Entei because the beast trio are the best minor legendary set, and to a dozen other Pokemon
Gen III
Sceptile, Blaziken, Mightyena, Skitty, and Milotic
Gen IV
Mismagius, Purugly, Garchomp, Porygon-Z, and Giratina
Gen V
Serprior, Lilligant, Zoroark, Chandelure, and Mienshao
Honorable mentions to Samurott, Archeops, and Garvantula
Gen VI
Delphox, Furfrou, Dragalge, Carbink, and Noivern
Gen VII
Primarina, Lycanroc, Lurantis, Mimikyu, and Lunala
top 5 Megas (because they need their own section)
Ampharos, Mawile, Manectric, Banette, and Absol
top 5 regional forms (because they also don't really fit in a single generation)
Ninetales, Typlosion, Samurott, Lilligant, and Zoroark
Honorable mentions to Growlithe (but Hisuian Arcanine is kind of meh), Marowak, Rapidash, and Moltres
Looking through them, I feel like Hisui has the highest average quality in regional forms. Maybe it's cause they had some kind of art direction in making things look old Japanese in some way, or maybe just cause of who was art director. Too many of the Alolan and Galarian forms just feel like dumb jokes.
I haven't really played SWSH and SV much, but I can make a prelimary list of Pokemon from those gens just based on the designs.
Gen VIII
Thievul, Frapple, Appletun, Polteageist, and Frosmoth
Gen IX
Meowscarada, Skeledirge, Chien-Pao, Hydrapple, and Raging Bolt
