I'm not denying or forgetting generation 3 had some great new features for it's time (double battles, battles where you had to work with someone else, improved berry system, etc.)
What I am trying to point out is what a lot of people seem to forget why generation 2 was pretty good despite the lack of exploration and shitty region. New features and improvements and what makes pokemon well, pokemon. Making it so that the idea of catching them all would constantly be expanding and evolving. Which means there will always be new strategies you'd have to develop facing newer pokemon that you're probably not familiar with, or not sure what they can do. G/S/C kind of got the ball rolling in that area.
To be honest, Lunatone is missing a whole lot of character without red eyes.
I know you don't like how the majoity of pokemon look soulless in gen 3, or for their complexity. but christ, just because a pokemon has red eyes does not make it complex or bad.
Not all pokemon need to have a sort of charm to be likable to you. How the hell do you think venasaur managed to keep it's ugly looks, or how magnimite looked dull as hell, or even how fucking dugtrio were just three naked guys hiding under dirt with their heads out, hell you could even point out that magmar was ugly as shit back then.
My point is the way the design is made doesn't mean it's going to appeal to everyone, in fact that's why there are so many of them to begin with, to appeal to everyone. not just you. You can't really change the fact that there will be designs that everyone else likes and you won't. so why complain about it to begin with.

And it was such simple stuff too, that could easily be fixed.
Doesn't that look a thousand time better? All I did was change the eye and its charm level went up tenfold!
