amazing plot

You forgot the secrets. Shedinja, Chimecho, Regis.

Hoenn isn't bad. Might be my second or third favorite. But it's all about Sinnoh and that A+ route design. Ass Dex, but the map is probably the best in the series, imo.

>>33532434
Better then "we made a thing from another rare thing we found. oh no, it's strong."

>>33532446
Nice whataboutism. Gen 1 being bad doesn't make gen 3 any better. They're both still shit.

>>33532444
I somehow typed "explanation" instead of "exploration". But yeah, that's a great part of Hoenn.

Giving the Legendaries plot wasn't a good thing.
The Pokemon were shit.
The only real thing it has going for it are diving and lots of water.

>>33532451
It's still an improvement on Gen 1.

>forgetting about secret bases

>>33532466
And three heart attacks a day is an improvement over four heart attacks a day

>>33532478
absolute comfy

The fact that outside of ORAS, secret bases will probably never be redone upsets me greatly.

>>33532414
>Gave legendaries plot
Ah, yes, the game that started the "The MC must save the world from/by-catching the legendary box"

Hoenn was a mistake

>>33532578
Platinum Underground.

Best map, best exploration, god tier trumpets, innovations left and right, amazing variety of pokemon that doesn't just leave you with fucking Bidoofs and Starlys for 8 gyms, and well designed pokemon all throughout the region.

SinnohShitters and Unovabortions btfo

>never really got into secret bases
>all that stuff I missed
Time to replay Emerald.

>>33532414
It was cool back then, but id rather have 2 regions

>>33532414
that's not how you spell johto

>>33532491
Nice strawman argument

>>33532414
Because it's boring as shit and not cohesive. People had problems with "handholding" in ORAS, but at least it outlined a plot a bit more.

>>33532414
Johto had two regions so it's automatically better than all the others.

Also Legendaries shouldn't ever be part of any plot.
The fun of Gen 1/2 was finding the legendaries, not having them gifted to you because "you are the chosen one :DD"

>>33532414
I like Hoenn because emerald was the first pokemon game that was truly mine

>>33532414
Theres too much water

>>33533319
RSE never gifted them to you though.
>but you had to catch them!!!
nah

Kanto was a wasteland. It looked like it was going through the Depression.

>>33533733
In GSC, it's barren. But in HGSS it's more interesting than BW Unova, Kalos and Alola.

That's a bad thing though. It was better in gen 1 where you were just a kid on a Pokemon adventure who just happened to stop Team Rocket. Gen 2 then forced the Rocket plot on you a lot harder and Gen 3 made you a chosen one who saves the world.

>>33532451
yeah fuck gen 3 and gen 1, those shitty games with shitty plots, and fuck gen 2 and 4 as well while we're at it
God i hate Pokemon

>>33533773
>gen 3 made you a chosen one
No, it didn't. You were pretty much still a kid who just happened to be in the thick of things. You didn't become a chosen one until gen 5 onward. Arguably gen 4.

>>33532414
even the battle theme for the weather trio gave you a sense of "Oh shit these are fucken living gods who control the weather and can destroy the world, why the fuck am I fighting them?"
