Hoennbabbies around 2010 were one of the worst people on /vp/, so neo-hoennbabbies (who are quite quiet) are often bashed because of a really vocal minority. That's not cool, but there's nothing to do about it.
Started with ruby, continued with Crystal right after, pretty big pokéfan and hoennbabbie here, still preferred generation. Rayquaza a shit. Still the best pokémon design
imo.
>>14027746Yeah, gen 3 was that time when everyone was in high school and it wasn't cool to play Pokémon, so everyone quit. Obviously, when people got out of high school with D/P, it started being normal to play pokémon, and gen 3 was still that weird gen that aged (already 10 years!) but didn't age enough to be considered "nostalgic".
