insane how there was never any shark pokemon (any pokemon made after 2001 isn't a pokemon)
I know you are trolling, but gen 3 was way better than gen 1+2
pre-9/11 designs vs. post-9/11 designs
Considering gen3 was designed prior to it's release(obv.) it was technically designed as early as 2000(some of gen3 were unused gen1/2 mons)
I liked the ninjask line design
also the vibrava one
If 1 and 2 were native to the GBA people wouldn’t say this. 3 is my fave because it came out at the right age, but 2 had better mechanics such as the day/night cycle.
The day night cycle is about the only mechanic (and headbutting trees) in gen 2 that 3 lacked, but 3 made up for those lacking features with all the other cool stuff like hidden bases and a much richer story (and better puzzles in the gyms[looking at you lt.surge gym...]) Also, gen 1 got a remake on the gba. Gen 1 has it's charm, i grew up playing it but it's a buggy mess and has lots of issues(psychic types being absolutely unstoppable due to basically no weaknesses being programmed in)
What did gen 3 add other than contests and bases (which were only a multiplayer thing really)?
Agreed on the puzzles though, that’s a good point.
The berry growth(and ability to plant specific berries). Better bicycles.. way better balance for mon types. The addition of "abilities" was pretty big too, imo. Need i go on?
Balance? Fire was very balanced in gen 3.
Berries and bikes, were kinda just there. I can see how people liked them though.
abilities just made competitive play worse because Nintendo actually expects people to grind out catching/breeding perfect EV and depending on the moon with hidden ability.
I guess we just disagree on what additions are good.
