>>50911360>Generations 1 and 2 get a lot of panderingAre you referring to very recently because before Legends, Gen 2 was Game Freak's unfavorite by far for a long time. Hoenn at least got the Mega time, and the starters even survived dexit.
But yes, Gen 3 definitely need some love. It was the last gen before the Sinnoh PowerCreep happened so you have alot of SFMA with low BSTs or bleh abilities. And even though many Hoenn mons got megas, they had the rug puled under them while CHARIZARD and the other shillmons were saved by golden parachute gimmicks. For refence, remember how Gen 2 is is infamous for "shitmons and look at pic related. It honestly looks like something someone would make in a Gen war thread against Hoeen but its real.
Reminder that Kecleon isn't even in PoGo yet for fuck sake. Though hopefully when it does get release it will be something interesting like they did with Smeargle.
