If you have been at PC for a couple of years you may remember a thread in the Gen I/II forum called '10000 Reasons Why'. It was rather popular, but it sadly never reached its target. So I've chosen the less ambitious 1000 reasons. Basically post 10 reasons why you loved the Gen III of Pokémon, whether it be a Hoenn or Kanto game. Also don't worry if someone else has used your idea, you can post it too, just make sure you don't repeat yourself. Also post 10 reasons as much as you like. Just don't double post :)
