>>14713683Are you so new that you legitimately think most of the vitriol towards Hoenn comes from people who started with DPP? The biggest exodus of fans from the series happened with Gen III who didn't return until HGSS, and most new fans couldn't give a shit about Hoenn because their first games were Diamond and Pearl; Hoenn will always be the middle child to Gamefreak, and they will never be pandered to like the newest fans and the oldest fans.
