>>49606251Op is such a disingenuous faggot
>killed pokemaniaPokemania ended with contrarian faggots in schools shitting on people still liking it in high school
>first dexcutWhat the fuck kind of stunt is this? The Pokemon became available over time and were able to be traded freely among each of gen 3's games. This is only an issue if you bought R/S and weren't planning on buying anything beyond them.
>removed day/night cycleVisually and mechanically I can agree with this.
>no 2nd regionGen 2 setting this standard didn't help, but I digress. More than one region is a bit much.
>shit graphicsSubjective take. Not objective like you say.
>ugly pokemonsSubjective.
>started the trend of legendary-centred plotsHow is this a bad thing, exactly?
>no apricorn craftingOnly balltists get angry about this. It'd be nice, but it was a Johto thing.
>no compatibility with gen 2The technical limitations of the game's code for gen 2 wouldn't permit forwarding. Pokemon was supposed to end with G/S/C, but then they saw money after the fact. Bringing them forward wasn't planned since there wasnt any plans for a 3rd gen originally.
>have to buy multiple games just to complete the dexThis had been a longstanding issue with the games at large. Getting anal over it now when acquisition of other mons in modern day depends more on your ability to connect to the internet is preposterous and blatent cherry picking
>shitty cashgrab remakesFr/Lg have an entire post game element in the Sevi Isles that would in many ways constitute its own standalone game. Hardly a cashgrab.
>started furbait starteraIrrelevant
>started waifumonsAlso irrelevant.
OP is being disingenuous and intellectually dishonest about gen 3 and anyone who thinks Dexcuts started there are blatantly hypocritical about its origination in Sw/Sh and are just misdirecting it to gen 3 as a scapegoat to draw heat off of the travesty that is gen 8 and BDSP.
