By every benchmark I can think of, Minato and Kakashi for instance are in the same generation - they were born maybe ten years apart. Millennials born in 1990 and millennials born in 2000 are still millennials, no?

And my post already addresses Madara and his cheating. Plus you've still not addressed the 16 influxes of pure chakra that have apparently disappeared. Judging by the list of named Generations from wikipedia, its around 20 years per generation. Also, if i read the Wiki correctly, Minato was exactly twice Kakashi's age (24) during the mission where obito died. Also i have no idea why we're discussing this because i already agreed with you on the 'it's not every generation" part. Theres a few generations (again: depending on the exact timelines there's a bit of uncertainty) between Hashirama and the current Incarnations.

the Sage was a thousand years ago, but history only goes back to about ~100 years (wasn't it said that the Battle of the Valley Of the End was 80 years ago? i remember that number clearly but no clue where from). We literally know nothing of the other 900 years and so of the other ~14 influxes you're talking about. Madara had no kids (that we know of) and Hashirama had kids (that we know nothing of). Tsunade, his grandkid was still a pretty damn strong ninja and ranked among the legendary Sennin. Though it's impossible to say if that the exception, or the rule.

So in terms of statistics, it's unclear what exactly being a Transmigrant does to your kids. But if the ~900 years of Warring States is anything to go by, it's doubtful those transmigrants would've had much time to bloom into powerful ninja. Even so, they would've been born among Uchiha and Senju who were already known as exceptional Ninja, so any Transmigrant would simply be considered a Genius among Geniuses.

However, the power of a transmigrant is not Pure chakra, though it's close. It's only the power of the Shinju that i would consider "pure" chakra. Hagormo's and Hamura's chakra are, judging from how they had a Yin and Yang seal, likely half of Kaguya's power (also, Byakugan and Sharingan are split as powers). The transmigrants are just the kids of Hagormo so only represent, by logic, 1/4th the power of Pure chakra.

But this isnt the case with Naruto and Sasuke. They didn't just awaken the power of a Transmigrant, but Hagoromo himself. With the power of Hamura in Hinata, the chakra puzzle is complete with Naruto having Half Hagromo's chakra, Sasuke having the other half and Hinata completing it. It's nothing like regular transmigrants,
