Anybody enjoy the GBA generation to the DS generation?
 
IMO the GBA Pokemon games were much more enjoyable.

GBA generation as in the 3rd generation? The only games I can think of is Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Blue, Pokemon Dash, Pokemon Trozei and Pokemon Ranger. I like the 3rd generation games on the Nintendo DS. I really don't get the point of this thread =/

Are you asking if we enjoyed Gen III more than Gen IV and Gen V? I guess I did. I just found the GBA generation to be fun, especially with the main series. Sure, I couldn't transfer a lot of my Pokemon from Crystal, but I liked the first remakes. And this generation's Battle Frontier is my favorite.

Can't say I did. I never have really liked the graphics on the GBA games. Enjoyed playing them, but didn't enjoy looking at them.

Darkrylles December 23rd, 2011 10:33 AM

I enjoyed both DS and GBA genrations, but I like the simplicity of the GBA games. But I can't wait for them to remake R/S/E for DS, because that will be awesome.

Nylonica December 24th, 2011 1:38 AM

Yeah, I meant Gen III. I really liked the visuals. They had good art direction and made great use of the GBA's poor hardware.

I was thinking about it, and one thing about the graphics I did like about RSE over D/P/P was the use of 60 FPS instead of 30. I can really see the difference.

Spades Slick December 24th, 2011 9:11 AM

To be honest, I liked the DS games over the GBA ones
The fifth generation along with the fourth (the wireless generations if you may) brought much more freedom and capabilities than the GBA games
Also, I thought that some parts on RSE and FR/LG were unnecessary like there was too many Team Blank action

DowntownDumpling December 28th, 2011 7:02 AM

I've generally preferred the GBA ones, partially because I've found Hoenn to be so underrated.

Shiny December 28th, 2011 2:55 PM

In my opinion, the GBA games were the best out of the entire Pokemon series but that's just because I love Emerald so much : D

2Cool4Mewtwo December 28th, 2011 10:11 PM

DS games felt pretty slow, so I'd slightly prefer GBA over DS, but there's not much difference.

Snivy063 December 29th, 2011 3:48 AM

Wouldn't really compare the two since I enjoyed both, but if I really had to choose it wouldn't be between the two, I'd pick the GBC generation. ^__^

Palkia December 29th, 2011 3:51 AM

I prefer Emerald to all of the Gen IV games as I feel that the Pokemon and region was better. I will admit that I prefer White over Emerald, although only just.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ December 29th, 2011 5:43 AM

I prefer Leaf Green to all of the 4th gen games except for Platinum (I would judge Leaf Green and Platinum as tied for best Pokemon game). But the Hoenn Pokemon games, I would rank far, far worse than the 4th gen games. Blame it on the water.

Zapperz December 29th, 2011 6:01 AM

i loved 3rd gen. but when i saw the graphics on 4th gen, it looks similar so i loved it too.
and plus, my 3rd gen games can be transfered to 4th gen, so i know that the pokes i had wont be wasted!

SuperKirbyFan December 29th, 2011 8:22 AM

But... in Gen 3 Weedle can't learn Bug Bite!

WolfsbaneCharm52 December 29th, 2011 11:45 AM

I love Gen 3. But I really love all the extras you can do after beating the Elite Four in Platinum, so I'd say those two tie. But I'd say emerald slays both Diamond / Pearl in terms of fun for me. Plus secret bases >>>>>>>> Underground.

gkortez December 30th, 2011 12:47 AM

I haven't played any of the DS games but from what I've seen, I like the graphics a lot better on the GBA even

Faolan December 30th, 2011 1:17 AM

I like the GBA era for the graphics and music. It also was my favorite generation. (3rd)

miltankRancher December 30th, 2011 4:43 AM

IMO, I liked fourth gen better than third gen. For me, Hoenn is the least enjoyable of the generations.and i am biased since Platinum is my most favorite game.

Challenger December 30th, 2011 5:20 AM

I prefer playing the 3rd gen games. I never really liked sinnoh that much and I prefer GSC to HGSS.

WintersDreaming December 30th, 2011 5:36 AM

The GBA is my favourite handheld and I loved the Pokémon Games on it, My favourite generation was the 3rd :)

SamTheSnorlax January 1st, 2012 6:57 PM

I think everyone likes gba games the best is because they played those when they were younger, less-experienced, and everyone didn't just turn to google when stuck. You didn't have others opinions on what wasn't good and what wasn't bad.

Totaldile January 2nd, 2012 12:07 PM

I actually prefer the lower tech graphics foudn in the 3rd gen.
Pokemon was not meant for 3D in the main series.
:P

crystalzapdos January 2nd, 2012 3:30 PM

I liked them better than D/P/Pt but not better than B/W.
