Why is this trio so lovable? I've always loved their designs and lore, but it feels like later cover trios don't really live up to them as well.

because of fug
fug is one of the most likeable pokemon ever made

This is true. It's kind of a power creep two. Groudon kyogre and fug control land water and air or whatever. Then the gen 4 legendaries are creators of the world and time and space and it just keeps getting more ridiculous. Except for gen 6 legends that was a step in the right direction only to be fucked up again my having legendary pokemon from different fucking dimensions
They make thematic sense, they seem like actual dieties without going completely overboard like having them be dieties of the fabric of the universe. They also have a balance that is understandable. Also fug is like Godzilla and protects the earth and stuff but is fairly neutral to humans without being a prick. So that's all cool.
It's because you're nostalgiafags. There's literally nothing that separates these from the later overpowered trios except that none of them looks like a penis

Because they are the first trio of legendaries to actually have decent Lore besides muh dead dogs

They actually have a pleasing and consistent design philosophy (smooth, streamlined, ancient-looking patterns all over) and, while detailed, they don't shove too much shit in your face like Gen 6's legendaries.
They're honestly pretty representative of what made Hoenn pokemon so good, in my eyes.
