Gen 3, had some pretty interesting Pokemon, but i honestly think it is extremely weird to judge Gen 3 just on pokemon design. I think Gen 3 had good evil organization, but the evil organization cliche wasn't really all that convincing.

Personally, i "hated" the starter pokemon. They just weren't that amazing. Compared to the previous Gens, and even Gen 4, this gen didn't have the best. Treeco just doesn't look like a pokemon to me. Mudkip and Torchik look great until you see what their final evolution. Torchik doesn't even look like a bird-type anymore and Mudkip? blegh.

I also did not enjoy the vast amount of water. There was just not enough variety in this world. And the Legendary Pokemon were beautiful. I personally prefer Emerald more.

But overall it was an enjoyable game, i tend to rank this game second to the last, making Black and WHite "last".

I've heard of people liking a certain generation of Pokemon even when they haven't played the games yet. You can still like Hoenn even without playing its games, it's not something to feel weird about.

So many people actually gave up on the Gen 3 games due to the ridiculous amount of water in Hoenn. I guess people don't like to surf. I went through it just fine though.

Currently playing Pokémon Blaze Black/SoulSilver
Next up are Pokemon LeafGreen, VoltWhite 2, probably X, then either US or UM.

can be fixed if someone just goes to fix the encounter rate.
Remember that you can always bring a ton of Repels if you want to avoid all those Tentacool/Tentacruel and Wingull/Pelipper encounters.

Out of the surfing matter, i love how the powerful TMs(Thunder, Blizzard, Fire Blast) were cheap. But then they got extremely expensive in Gen 5. 50k Pokédollars i believe.

Many of those Pokémon were crap when introduced. Absol had 130 Attack but nothing to use it with until 4th gen. And Altaria used to be a completely forgettable Pokémon with an interesting design but it was the weakest Dragon in the game so it totally sucked.

There are a few nice ideas in 3rd gen Pokémon's design but a lot of the new ones from that gen were forgettable weaklings, like Delcatty, Masquerain and the lovable Heart Scale fodder, Luvdisc. Also, many inferior copies of older Pokémon (Mightyena, Manectric, Aggron, Walrein, the early bugs...).

You should play the games to have a better opinion, though. I find them dreary today because 4th gen is such vastly superior for battling, but they were the first ones in the "reformulated" Pokémon so a couple rough edges can be excused. The music is hit and miss depending on how much the trumpets were used. The map past Lilycove has a lot of water and convoluted hidden areas, which explorers admire but I'm not so fond of. :P

Make sure you play Emerald, though. Ruby and Sapphire are completely disposable.

True, there are some people who have called certain generations great even if they haven't played their games. If you do believe that they're your favorites then I think you'll like them when you play them. I don't find RS quite as good to play today, but that's likely just me preferring newer games.
