What is the most overrated mainline game?
I'm going to say Ruby and Sapphire. People remember gen 3 for Emerald rather than those two, and they had some pretty big issues (and basically no post-game). Most gym leaders (other than Norman, obviously) had no relevance, personality or interaction outside of their gyms; pokemon distribution wasn't great; you couldn't transfer in pokemon from previous games when they came out; lots of the designs are underwhelming.
There are lots of positives too, but I think RS are overrated.
How about you?
