I like Kanto and Sinnoh more.

I loved Hoenn too. The one I didn't like much was Johto; it was kind of a let-down after Kanto. R/B/Y were AWESOME!! =D

I second that. D:

Hoenn is my favorite region, as well as my favorite series of the anime so far.

Johto was a let down, to me.

The games didn't hold my interest like I hoped, and the anime I found to be boring, so I didn't watch it much. This is why I'm really hoping HG/SS will change my mind about Johto. Maybe with a graphics upgrade, and my first real play through in eight years, I'll like it more.

I think the Hoenn region was great. ^^

Probably the reason why there are a lot of people who don't like it is because there just wasn't an incredibly good selection of awesome pokemon to get early in the game and train up for the Elite 4. Like, all you can get is Shroomish and Surskit and Poochyena and Electrike....but I thought that made it more challenging.

I don't calculate stat values, I don't breed my way to perfection, and I don't care about natures. I catch my Pokemon the way they are, and treat them like individuals instead of brainless drones. If you use this philosophy, copy & paste this into your signature.

75% of Pokemon gamers use cheats and specially made codes to make their pokemon battle-worthy. If you are one of the 25% percent that level their Pokemon up legally, put this in your signature.

I thought so too, actually. And Trapinch isn't that far off in the game. You can get him before the 5th gym, and that's good enough for me. -shrug- Bagon being after the 8th gym is a pain, but still, a great Pokemon like Salamence? I can wait for that power.

So.....the one game with more Special Fetures than a Robot Chicken DVD gets no credit? Yeah. I'm devastated.

Anyway, I loved Emerald, so Hoenn Region was awesome. Though.....Johto wasn't that bad. I loved Crystal personally, but, and I re-quote this post:

gold and silver had 2 regions, and r/s had one and the pokemon were kinda gay (some) and apricorns were replaced with berrys when i just liked the psncureberry and iceberry when the names decribed the berry now the berrys are confusing. but i think the 4th generation pokemon are pushing the coolness of pokemon. i only like pokemon from I-II generations. after that it got dumb. "too much of a good thing isnt good all the time". i would play heartgold if it only had the first 2 gen pokemon

I loved Hoenn. It had the best music and the atmosphere was really summery in my opinion so it just made me happy playing it.

I "liked" Hoenn, but I would honestly rather play silver/gold/crystal than ruby/sapphire. (Not Emerald...Emerald was awesome) Maybe that was because I played ruby/sapphire so much I eventually got tired of it?

R/S/E Was cool IMO, yeah, some of the pokemon looked stupid, but lots of other pokemon looked awsome. i don't see any reason Why many people hate it.

I honestly don't understand the Hoenn hate.
I mean, compared to Diamond and Pearl, Hoenn's Pokemons where supremely normal.

E4 is a big miss there. Too weak.
And whoever talked about Shroomish obviously doesn't know the extent of its power when it evolves into Breloom -.-

Mehh, I just never got into Hoenn. I actually stopped playing the games by the fifth badge and started playing Crystal again :P.

The starters sucked if you asked me (besides Mudkip ^^) and IDK the only thing I liked about Hoenn was the improved graphics and Poochyena.

Well at first it was cool, but after that R/S got boring, not much to do.
But Emerald was better, it had more events and it had the frontier.

Hoenn is my personal favorite region. I love the geography of it, I love the story of it, I love the graphical and gameplay overhaul that came with it, I love the Weaher trio and Teams Aqua/Magma.

Sinnoh is the region I hate the most. >.>

Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald is my favourite region, actually. The graphics are so fresh and inviting, the new Pokémon are generally pretty awesome, the Secret Bases were a great addition (sadly I find the Gen IV bases really boring), and RS had the first major overhaul of the PC. I actually liked that the Hoenn games were a fresh start from the previous generations, GSC felt like "Pocket Monsters 2" but RS felt like a whole new game. Also, it never bothered me that you can't move Pokémon from GSC to RSE... I don't get why people get so worked up about it. If you're THAT worried about preserving your 1998 Event Mew or whatever... then send it to Stadium 2 or something. DX

Maybe your someone who likes islands and water and junk but that didnt really fit me. It was an ok region. Just very forgettable with the pokemon. The only good thing IMO that came out of hoenn were babies for Marill and Wobuffet.

I liked all the regions, actually. For different reasons. Kanto was where I got my start, Johto started me on my liking for battles, my knowledge of Pokemon, and my liking for grass-types, Hoenn introduced weather, and it had more water routes, which other games lacked at the time, Sinnoh introduced the past of the Pokemon world, the possibility of different Pokemon colors due to location, and the day/night system's revival. Looking forward to the next region! ^.^
