I completely agree with you, 4/5 of my favourite 'mons are from gen 3, and the other is Porygon-Z.
>>33388312
There is no greatest generation of Pokémon.
>>33388312
Gen 3 played on GBA SP = maximum comfiness
Both rse and frlg
I pity the peasants who have to play on emulators with shitty controls
>>33388335
bitch please

Does it have an illuminated screen? I thought that illuminated screen were introduced on the SP, and the original GBA still requires a torch to play in evening/night
>>33388365
You can mod an original gba and put a gba sp (or aftermarket if you don't wanna murder an sp) screen in it

>GBA still requires a torch to play in evening/night
It isn't just that it's unlit. Something about about the screen makes it so the line between "too much glare to see" and "too dark to see" is so thin that it makes the device practically unusable in anything but just perfectly right conditions
>>33388349
I'd love to grab one of these for emerald and sapphire but I haven't owned a gba in years.

>no phys/spec split
There. That was easy.
>>33388312
7.8, too much water
>>33388312
Great music, great looking mons, fast fun. Definitely my favorite gen. But I think in an overall sense.
5=4>3>2>1>6>7
The spritework is bad.
The colors are dull.
The music is bland and unmemorable.
Emerald replaced Steven with Wallace, which is not only bad in terms of character, but having two endgame Water-type specialists was unneeded.
Blaziken.
Wurmple evolves into Silcoon or Cascoon depending on a random personality value.
The Physical/Special split not existing yet hurt all of the Dark types introduced that gen not named Shiftry or Cacturne. Sableye would get a pass if it wasn't absolute shit.
Lack of Ghost and Ice types made for a boring and easy experience during the Pheobe and Glacia E4 battles.
All Ice types were pushed away in an out-of-the-way endgame location.
A lot of weak Pokemon were unnecessarily rare, like Skitty, Nosepass, and Chimecho.
Masquerain isn't a Bug/Water type with Levitate.
Shroomish learns Spore at level 54 and can't learn it as a Breloom.
Fishing for Feebas.
Team Aqua limited themselves to Carvanha/Sharpedo and Team Magma limited themselves to Numel/Camerupt, despite there being many other Water or Ground types to choose from.
Azurill was unnecessary, as Marill is already balanced for early-game.
"Pelipper used Protect!"
Mirage Island.
Having to exchange bikes.
Battle Frontier trainers having Shedinja.
Eight HMs, 3 of which are Water type moves.
Pokemon Colosseum was a slog.
Pokemon Gale of Darkness shoved half of the game's Shadow Pokemon in the final area.

Nah strike that, Intimidate would still be better on a hypothetical Bug/Water type.
>>33390136
the split was a mistake and you know it
