I don't think it's criticized too much. It may have been a revolution, but it was a harsh one. The lack of connectivity with the earlier generations was crippling. In the first two games, all you needed was a friend to trade you a couple extras and you could complete the Pokedex. Then in generation two you needed four, which was tolerable as long as you and your friend still had your first games, but completing the 'dex was getting a lot harder. When Ruby and Sapphire came around with their lack of connectivity to the other games, it was actually impossible. When this news came out I didn't even bother buying the games and in fact dropped out of the community until Platinum. Battle enhancements alone don't make a Pokemon game - it's a game about trading, and trading died in generation III. I'd love to see a remake of Hoenn that addresses all of this, but until that happens, it's pretty justified not liking the games. [[User:Saiar|Saiar]] 18:58, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

I see a slight difference in where you claim is good and bad... while the pokemon aren't as good, it's not because of a lack of the first 251, because I didn't know any of the gen III pokemon until after I got to know the generation IV pokemon, as I completely skipped generation III.  Also, the region's layout is awful to alot of people I know. The wide open part is a major pain, and it makes me want to switch to my ds versions. To be honest, I got so bored I stopped playing for a month and a half right in front of victory road.[[User:ShoutingRyan|ShoutingRyan]] 19:09, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
