    Since I am one of those cool people without any sort of DS, gen3 was my favourite. I Love Ruby and Sapphire, and the contests, and I play a lot. I lost my emerald though. :( .I'm tempted to buy a new one, but I might not bother.
    I played on a friends DS though, and decided I like Hoenn more than Sinnoh. By a lot. :)

    I play Sapphire sometimes for the nostalgia, since it was my first Pokemon game. :) I'm also hoping that someday I'll be able to get to Mirage Island, and I try to check often.

    I'm playing it right now. Frankly, I'm not impressed with the third gen games. And, I'm about to rip my hair out seeing as it's pretty much impossible to catch Registeel without a Master Ball.

    Lol, I caught Mewtoo with a Great Ball. But don't let something that stupid get in the way of you enjoyment. Maybe it's just nostalgia, but I think R/S/E are the best mainseries Pokemon games so far. Plus, you can't find Hoenn Pokmemon anywere else. Other games have old Pokemon mixed with new
    ones, but Hoenn Pokemon are only in Hoenn.
    Oh, and yeah, I still play them :P

    I beg to differ on Humans post seeing as I just caught Registeel and Regirock in less than ten minutes using less than 15 ultra balls total. it all about luck.

    I'm often finding myself back in 2003 with my Ruby. I wouldn't understand anyone who said they didn't like Hoenn. It truly is, I think, the most unique region. One: Because it's the only main region without an 'O' sound at the end, and two: Because it has so little connection with the other regions, whilst all the others are connected to Kanto.

    I started a new file in Ruby a few months ago, but I've since lost it. I'm still looking for it though, because that was one of my favorite pokemon games.

    I Still Play R/S/E

    I still play R/S/E, I recently finished Emerald with a Swampert only run, and I really did enjoy it, I have finished both Ruby and Sapphire too but currently my Ruby has been reset, and my brother is playing Sapphire so when I get some free time I will be playing through Ruby again.

    I started a new game in Ruby recently, actually. Somone suggested I do that daycare trick with the Acro Bike and the mudslide with my Gyrados, who was falling behind my Blaziken (My only two Pokemon). Now Blaziken's level 40 and
    Gyrados is level 51... >_< Ah well, the game's a lot of fun. Gyrados totally owns.

    I can't seem to FIND my old Ruby Version. It was in French anyway but I speak French so that's okay...I just want to play it fr the sake of playing it. Hoenn was my favourite region...

    I may just restart Emerald and cross my claws it doesn't freeze AGAIN.
