Brendan and May totally love eachoter!!! LOL
Would it be weird of every Generations male and female protagonists were romantically linked?
I must agree with you, ShadowLugia, I like the games but not so much as the older ones... (I couldn't quote your post for some reason >_<)
1- I have played Emerald just once, so I don't know much about the Battle Frontier... it looks like a place where you can spend a good time and effort, but I think it's take too long to gain something intersting and useful there.
2- There are underwater areas, but yes, the wter routes are kinda boring... and there are few pokes to be found there (most places are filled with Tentacools...). Trainers usually use the same pokemons, but it's happen on trainers who are on land too. Maybe not often because there are more pokes who lives in land than on water, but it does.
3- I liked who much the graphics changed (because I never liked GSC style), but for some reason I didn't like the newer style as well... It looks way more colorful, but I don't know it could be better... as you said, water routes are boring, but who they could be different? I didn't play Diamond, but there might be some innovations which I don't know...
These are my thoughts, I liked who many things changed, but I think I'm too much exigent x) No more night graphics, different Safari Zone, didn't like pokeblocks and contests... I think I liked GSC more than any other version, so I look only for negative points on other games =(
sorry for the long post x)

R/S/E Are really fun for me. I love the water, so thats not a problem, but the thing that really annoyed me was Feebas and Nosepass. I can never find either, it's so frustrating. On other games, it's just been easier for me to find the elusive pokemon, but to me, those 2 are impossible.

Oh yes, the 3rd gen contests were WAY BETTER than the Super Contests of 4th gen! They just made it worse by adding the dance competition, if you ask me.

I agree the Gym Leader music did suck.
Yes I actually became a Contest Master (got a Master Rank ribbon in every category) in my Ruby Version. For D/P/Plat I have like two Contest ribbons the Super Contests just don't appeal to me. It's more than just the dance competition too the entire mechanics of it was changed.

I, myself quite enjoyed R/S/E and I don't see why people would hate it or the pokemon in it, but I understand if someone hated fr/lg since I personally found that quite a let down, especially with the tiles and battle scenes.
Back to the R/S/E thing, I notice a lot of people when comparing new and old stuff they always say something like " Gen4 wasn't really good they lost originality and are out of ideas but at least it wasn't as bad as Gen3", then I'm just like wtf, in the old Gens you had a bull pokemon(Tauros), a giant cow(Miltank) and a ball with eyes(Voltorb), those are real original, then with Gen3 and Gen 4 you have guys like Garchomp, I don't even know what he's meant to be, he's like everything combined togeather and don't forget about Metagross, he's like one of the most original designs out there.
So for all you Gen 3 haters, stop being hypocrites

I enjoyed playing R/S/E too. There wasn't anything really specific that I liked about it.

I love the third generation.
Except Ruby and Sapphire. These two games seemed incomplete, actually. Emerald, Fire Red, and Leaf Green are good, but I hate R/S. They're okay, but not on the level of Gold/Silver/Crystal or Platinum.
Emerald is actually my second favorite game in the whole series, only behind Platinum.
Actually, ever since Hoenn, each main game before the 'Master' (ie: Platnium, Emerald) the games seemed incomplete. Seriously. But that's my own opinion.
