When Gen 3 released, I hated it.
>I hated that I couldn't transfer my Pokemon up from gold and silver
>I hated the music with the vuvuzelas.
>I hated the amount of water and the encounter rate for wingull and pelliper on several routes
>Hated the fact that the new Pokemon in gen 3 felt much stronger and imbalanced compared to the old favorites of gen 1 and 2
>No physical special split and even though the concept hadn't even been introduced you could tell there was something wrong with the game
>3 fucking water hms

And yet when I reflect as an adult...
>Entire plot is about bonds with nature, which completely exemplifies Pokemon
>Kino designs like Chimecho, Breloom, beloved starters, Absol, Salamence
>Battle frontier is beloved and never returned
>Emerald merges the plots of both games
>Kino legendaries like Fug and the weather trio, Jirachi, Latias, Deoxys
>Feels like the last generation where Pokemon was about pokémon and not about competitive cringe or waifu cringe
>Double battles introduced
>Best era of the tcg with creative concepts and artwork that has never been seen again
>Last generation where it feels like the artwork has a soft and washed out pallet like the original gen 1 and 2

Why is Gen 3 so kino? Why does it hold up so good in retrospect?

Because it got fixed with ORAS. You hated it when it was released. Now that it’s fixed, you like it. Simple as.

>>59435276
Never played oras

am i the only one who ranks the gen 3 starters the lowest of them all designwise?
>>
>>59435276
Hang yourself faggot, ORAS didn't fix shit. The only "fixed" thing here is you because only a dickless eunuch would say some objectively incorrect horseshit like this. You are the scum of the earth.

>>59435257
mostly correct. but,
>Kino designs like Chimecho,
garbage, generic design, worst of the gen and a sign of things to come in later gens.
>beloved starters,
trash starters.
>Absol,
furry 'mon
>Salamence
shitter Dragonite and Rayquaza. Metagross is the pseudo you're thinking of.
>Double battles introduced
this is bad.

>reeeee someone likes a different pokemon game than I do
>>
>>59435257
I hate how post-Norman they threw like a billion trainer fights at you at once
Early game is really nice though
