You have a Ionic v1 project. As the error message says, generators only work with Ionic Angular projects (Ionic 2+).

Ionic Framework : ionic1 1.3.4  
still on Ionic1.

and upgrading ionic 1 to 2 will break your project as ionic 2 have totally different way of doing things than ionic1.better to switch to ionic cli 2.2.3 .  
npm i -g ionic@2.2.3

You are using `ionic` CLI 3.x This has nothing to do with the version of the framework your app is built in.
