== I liked Gen III ==
I dunno--I thought Gen III was fairly decent. Keep in mind... I hated Gen I enough, due to its completely unbalanced nature it was presented as that I entirely skipped Gen II. Not thinking it was possible to recover from the large amount of fail that was Gen I. Mind you--I had gotten good enough at exploiting issues in Gen I, that I would take my team of three Pokemon (typically containing Omastar, Dragonite and Articuno), up against challengers with six Pokemon, and still handily win--every bloody time. Mind you, I have since then, lost that charm with Gen I (I am working on getting it back though). I mean, during my days of Gen I, I was looking into gimping my own team, just to give my opponent running chance (though, still taking into account various unbalanced issues in them).
I started up Gen III, thinking "wait... they are still selling this stuff? This has not crashed into a fireball into the side of a hill exploding, and everybody died?". I grabbed Sapphire, initially. I still consider Sapphire, Ruby and Emerald to be the hardest games of the franchise. Sapphire, after finding out about abilities, I grabbed five Zigzagoons right on the first route and started item farming (it was kind of the first idea I came up with when using Pickup). After a little bit of adjusting--have had skipped Gen II and all--I kind of did not really get why people suggested they were running out of ideas.
I mean--the Pokemon in Hoenn were honestly a lot different, for the most part, than Kanto and Johto's pokemon. And well, we DID have the joy of various Pokemon that have knives randomly grafted onto their bodies (making Hoenn's Pokemon even better in my opinion... Seviper, for example, is much better than Arbok in my eyes). The designs also suffered from their own batch of jokes. Such as the Awwright Pokemon, Mawile. The Bite Pokemon Poochyena, that rarely was found to actually know the move "Bite". The gender ubiquitous Pokemon Kirlia and Gardevior. The idea of also being able to catch a large Shark on a fishing pole, and train it to ferry you around kind of has humour to it too.
At first, I had issues really getting into it though--but well, then Red Chocobo and Zorak's Let's Plays kind of made me want to take up the series and stay. The first episode being Red Chocobo's Let's Play Pokemon Emerald.
I mean--from there I looked into stuff like Pokemon Adventures and what not.
If it were not for Gen III's execution and design, I probably would still be posting hateful crap on Pokemon.
In short, I liked Gen III. --[[User:KatrinaTheLamia|KatrinaTheLamia]] 17:54, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
