I started playing at Yellow version and never played the metal games. But I agree I pretty much rate a game on the number of trainable pokemon it has or were added. Maybe its just me but Gen 4 had a ****load of pokemon that had ****ty movepools and one stat that was good and the rest trash.
Or maybe I just like Hoenn pokemon i.e. Gardevoir, Absol, Flygon, Sceptile(lol the only Grass type I own), Salamence, need I go on?
But I admit there was some things it lacked like the graphics did leave a little to be desired and some of the pokemon sprites were hideous. But I still love it all the same.

one thing i also think is that the amount of older generation pokemon is much more than the newer, not to say there arent newer ones to find. but when tentacool is 50% of what your going to find in water it doesnt give much variation.

I think I liked Hoenn better than alot of people because I started playing Pokémon from Emerald onward despite being a fan for many years (my parents weren't video game fans. I had to buy my own systems and games). Therefore I wasn't disappointed (besides criticizing some of the weirder looking Pokés: Solrock, Lunatone, Whismur family, etc) since I had no other game to compare it to. Honestly, I enjoyed it more than I have Pearl and Platinum, though Heart Gold has become my favorite. It sucked that I could never complete the 'dex, but overall I was pleased.

How anybody can hate the generation that gave us Mudkipz is appalling

But Seriously, i dont get it. Hoenn was a great region, with great pokemon (Salamence, Metagross, Absol, Blaziken, Cacturne, Rayquaza, Jirachi, Aggron, need i say more?) Team Magma and Team Aqua werent total jokes like Team Rocket, the list goes on and on.

I guess the sudden change of design really caused the disapproval of some of the older crowd like 4th and 5th gen. since the original designer stopped at 2nd gen.

I thought it was alright, liked a couple of the pokemon like milotic and salamence. The way they improved the pc(with the backgrounds and renaming) was also pretty neat.

I think the Hoenn Reigion had some of the best Pokemon; New moves, Natures, Abilities, Type matches... It was a great change! Sure, it missed out the past Pokemon (which was a bit of a let down) but, it seemed like a good stepping stone into the 4th Gen'. Although, it would have been better if the features (such as the real-time clock and night system) were in Hoenn as they would have done well. I just hope that a remake comes to solve this!

I hate Gen 3 games for many reasons:

WARNING: Opinion Alert

Spoiler:

The hellish, never-ending ocean.
The desert route... cough...Mirage Tower...cough
The Pokemon are just... -shiver-
The Secret bases sucked, I always had to have a Pokemon with Secret Power.
Contests. Contests should die.
The different bikes. Why couldn't it have been one?!
2 different, un-organized, randomly goaled teams. "Let's destroy the water and go thirsty!" "Let's destroy the Land and Drown!"
WALLY. He's pathetic.
I'm not even going to talk about Wallace... Or Juan for that matter...
Gym leaders are boring and look weird.
Crappy sprites, I mean, look at this abomination:
Burn-your-eyes-out-colors.
A late-in-his-thirties (guess) s scared and being attacked by a ZIGZAGOON?! POOCHYENA?
Region design. Why is there a Mosoleum on a random island in the middle of nowhere? (Mt. Pyre)
Dumb legends. The only one I like is Jirachi.
How come I can't get the other Deoxys forms!?
I can't buy Pokemon with coins! Only dolls! I can't even put all my dolls in my secret base!
Yay! back to having no time system!
The only game's Cities i didn't remember all of.
City design and plot. Mossdeep?! It has a SPACE STATION! I mean, at least make it like, divable.
DIVE.
A desert surrounded by moutains and a Forest?
I have to have a full team of crap to unlock the Regimorons. (I would of put something else...)

I enjoy the gen 2 graphics more.


I'll post more when I feel like it.

The E4 was a pushover.
In emerald, I caught Rayquaza, lv.70. Swept E4. Please, leave the overleveled legends for the after game, which there was NONE OF.
The Battle Frontier...
-The Battle Factory? Looks more like a toddler's fun academy.
-The battle pike? an obese Seviper.
-The tower of terror!
-I still don't understand how you do that temple one. I attack, and it's like no! You lose!
-Don't try to make it better with a Sudowoodo tree...

Well...Hoen introduced some of my favorites; Grovyle, Combuskin, Blaziken, Swellow, Shiftry, Flygon, and some others...However it also introduced Salamence...I despise Salamence (I know that this seems a bit childish/fanboyish/ignorant, but I'm being honest about how I feel about it) I always felt like Salamence overshadowed Dragonite. I mean personally when I look at the too I think Gamefreak screwed up distributing the stats with the two. Dragonite (IMO) seems like it would be faster than Salamence, while Salamence (IMO) seems like it would be more bulky than Dragonite

Also I do kind of hate the fact that Rayquaza learns Extremespeed, I kind of enjoyed the fact that Arcanine had a signature attack, but Gamefreak decided to give it to some others >_>

And for the majority of the other Hoen I don't really have an opinion on them...they're just too forgettable...But I don't really hate Hoen Pokemon
When I was young, there were only 151 Pokemon, and Pluto was a planet...

I actually enjoyed the Hoenn Pokémon. Sure, there were a few useless pieces of junk (no offense, Zigzagoon), but there were also some pretty convienient ones out there.
Zigzagoon was awesome. Catch 5 Zigzagoons, put them in your party, walk around in the grass for a while, and you have a Rare Candy and some Hyper Potions.
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.

Hoenn was my all-time favorite. Looking at all the newer games (Black and White) They all look ugly compared to Hoenn. Grovyle is the coolest looking in my opinion.
Same thing here, Hoenn to me is the best region. The Sinnoh region to me was a disapointment.

I think Hoenn pokemon were a little too complex overall, however there were simpler ones (Zigzagoon, Poochyena, Spheal etc.)

But, this does make for some of the most interesting pokemon around...

I also dislike Salamence for overshadowing Dragonite, although I love all the others.

I think by making Sinnoh so simple, Hoenn was complimented better, and more people will/have come to appreciate Hoenn pokemon

It's not that the pokemon are the things people hated about R/S/E, i for one liked the pokemon. But instead it was the region itself i absolutely hated Hoenn (except Fortree that was the only part i liked) there was just too much water and that was coming from some one who absolutely loves water types

I my self hated Gen 3 pokemon and found Gen 4 to make up for that upset,But many do not know each generation of pokemon were made by different people so that is why they look weirder each time.

Just like how i hate Gen 5 pokemon except the legendary.
