Gen 3 is the best game because it has the best graphics.
...Yeah kindna...but the reason why I don't like gen 3 is when I first started the pokemon sapphire and emerald, I did rely on the faq...but I didn't know there is types for physical and mental moves. It made the game to me much harder when I last played it. Dark types are still weak in gen 3 because most of the dark types 'attack' that the dark types are sadly 'special attack' they made the dark types weak and still have psychic kindna the most overpowered creatures in the game(no offense to people who likes psychic types, I do like them). I mean wasn't the dark types there to nerf psychic pokemon? Most of the psychic in 3rd gen have high sp. def which made dark types almost pretty useless and have to rely on bug moves since bug types are physical(apologies if I got this one wrong).
When they introduced firered and leafgreen, the small disappointment for me was not visiting the johto region like you can in gen 2 and gen 4 on gold, silver, crystal, soulsilver, and heartgold. I know it's supposed to be a remake, but it could've been alot better if they did put it to have you visit the region like you would have.
Enethil, I agree pokemon stadium is memorable since you can choose most of the pokemon, the one for pokemon 4th gen...is similiar but you have to a cable attached to the ds to get the pokemon to be in battles.
