In Pokemon Ruby it's Drought, in Pokemon Sapphire its Heavy Rain and in Pokemon Emerald it's both. I know this maybe a nitpick thread or something like that, but which one did you like to see in the games?

I liked the Heavy Rain, it was really cool and the same for the music

Ive seen moderate to Heavy Rain before in other portions in that region and others following it. So I would opt for Drought.

Drought. We need more droughts in-game. We have in game hail, sandstorms, rain, and fog, why is drought only in gen III? Especially when there's a certain Pokemon by the name of Cherrim that benefits greatly from the sun.

Sure, plants need sun, but I think a drought would do more harm to Cherrim than good. .-.

Both. If they remake the games I'm expecting to see some pretty awesome effects.

The rain would benefit my team more, but the drought is such an under-used weather condition that I wouldn't mind seeing more of it.

Due to the fact that I like water types better than Ground: Heavy Rain. Also, in real life I just plain like rain.

I don't like sun in the real world but in-game it's pretty useful :D
Though I still prefer heavy rain 'cause Thunder gets 100% accuracy =D
I'm not using Solarbeam so much to benefit from Drought :D

I liked drought in Pokemon Ruby, especially the eerie music that played with it lol, I think they should implement drought in future Pokemon games.

Drought is just way too bright for me. I love the rain anyway. Though I wouldn't mind them bringing it back soon.

None! |: It made the battles longer and annoying. If I had to choose, I'd say Drizzle.

Heavy Rain obviously. Anyway, I'd ever prefer the water type.

I love Water-types better than Fire-types, so I choose the heavy rain (Drizzle). Imagine if Drought was real; I'd dehydrate.

Well... I typically use Fire and Water, so I'm a bit stuffed here.... I guess I'll go for Drought, simply because of my love of the very powerful but very slow Solarbeam.

Definitely Drizzle. I hate the heat & love the rain IRL. I also happen to like Water types over Fire types in most situations.

In the games I really liked heavy rain and drought at the same time, because it created some bizarre imagery (Downpour of rain while it's totally sunny outside), and the mix of ruby and sapphire weather music was pretty good also. (Though in the initial poll I said none because I didn't look over the question fully :\)

Drought would kill Cherrim... o.o

I liked Heavy Rain the best because Drought hurt my eyes if I stared at the screen for awhile...

I could go either way with this. Since my two favorite pokes could potentially take advantage of the weather for it. Electivire for the Rain and Arcanine for the Drought. But that would be more of a mix set for moves to really take advantage of the weather. When it comes down to the pokemon, I personally have always liked Groudon and the way it looks.

I quite liked both, but I think Drought could have had more effect on the landscape, maybe. Like the ponds and such in the area dry up or something. Might be cool. On the other hand, Heavy Rain could cause severe flooding and stuff. I just think it would be interesting to see the actual effect this is having on the ecosystem.

Simply because of nostalgia (I got Sapphire ;D) and the fact that I prefer the music (since I never played Ruby, I didn't realise they had different music until years later XD), I am going to have to say heavy rain. Emerald was pretty cool though, with the constant changing between heavy rain and drought and really highlighted the feud between Kyogre and Groudon. :)

Drought because the sunlight animation is much better than the diagonal pixels rain animation. Also because Groudon gets little love compared to Kyogre. There should be a "hug a Groudon day" to make up for this.
