>>22103426The gen 3 games and anime both felt disconnected from gen 1 and 2. The generations after gen 2 feel like they are just fragments and not really part of the main story.
>>22103578I dropped gen 3 because of the new IV/EV system, I didn't understand anything about it at the time and rarely had access to the internet to look it up. I had my longest Pokemon break during that time, eventually I got back into it and was able to enjoy it. My generation rating now after playing ORAS:
4 > 2 > 1 > 3 > 6 > 5
