Pokemon Gen 3 - Underrated or Underappreciated?

[Azure-Tranquility]

Gens I and II I think have the best designs because of the simplicity. I really hate how complicated and inorganic a lot of the newer ones are.

And also, Magmortar kind of took a shit all of Magmar.

Anyways I'm pretty sure it was mostly due to the "Pokemon Phenomenon" already dying down after Crystal released in August 2001. How could people who first played Red/Blue be adults by the time Ruby/Sapphire came out? There's only a 5 year gap.

I said "grown up" not "adult" as in "they are no longer snot-nosed brats, now they're snot-nosed middle schoolers."

Ahhh yeah okay I gotcha now. Yeah some people really start acting like jackasses at that age, unfortunately. I was one of the few not to gain a mindset like that. Video games can be enjoyed at any age, with few exceptions.
