As a gen, I like gen 3 on a technical level and the introduction of abilities and natures was a huge leap in diversifying pokemon which is nice. Also, it added a bunch of bros like Sceptile, Kecleon, Cradily, Cacturne, Walrein, pic related, and a whole bunch more.
It's also bittersweet for me since it's the last gen I had any friends to play with. I had a few buddies in 4th grade and we would have link cable tournaments on the weekends and talk about it all day at school. I remember us borrowing the braille dictionary from the library to try and decode the braille to unlock the regis and stuff like that, it was fun. But we got picked on by a lot of other kids for playing pokemon so we would talk about it less and less at school and gradually stopped getting together to play. I'm still pretty close with one of my friends from back then but we haven't played a pokemon game together in probably 15 years and it's kind of sad.
So now whenever I play a game in Hoenn it reminds me of those good times but also feels kinda lonely.
Sorry about the blogpost :)
