The F4 generation in crossbreeding refers to the fourth filial generation resulting from the repeated crossing of individuals from earlier generations, specifically the F3 generation. In this context, F4 individuals are typically produced by breeding F3 plants or animals, and they may exhibit more stable traits due to the accumulation of desirable genetic combinations. This generation is crucial for further selection and evaluation of traits, especially in plant and animal breeding programs.
Gregor Mendel referred to the generation resulting from crossbreeding the parental generation as the "first filial generation," symbolized as F1.
Hybrids from a cross of parental (P) generation, of homozygous parents (one is homozygous recessive, the second one is homozygous dominant) do belong to F1 generation, yes. Their genotype is heterozygous.

Mendel crossed true-breeding pea plants with contrasting traits in his first generation experiments. Specifically, he crossed a true-breeding purple-flowered plant with a true-breeding white-flowered plant.
The generation represented by the result of a cross between two parents is called the F1 generation, which stands for first filial generation. This generation is the offspring resulting from the initial cross of two genetically different parents.

Mendel obtained his P generation by cross-breeding selected purebred plants that displayed contrasting traits. This allowed him to study how traits are passed down from one generation to the next.
Mendel used true breeding plants in the P generation to establish a consistent genetic background for his experiments. True breeding plants produce offspring with the same traits when self-fertilized, allowing Mendel to control the genetic makeup of the parent generation and achieve predictable results in his crosses.

it counts only to cross breeding, in my opinion.
Mendel crossed a pure-breeding round-seeded variety with a pure-breeding wrinkled-seeded one. All the peas produced in the second or hybrid generation were round.

parental generation
The F1 (first filial) generation is always 100% heterozygous.This is because the F1 generation is defined as the offspring of pure-breeding (homozygous) parents carrying different alleles from each other, e.g. AA x aa. All the offspring must be Aa, in other words heterozygous.
