>>37578341>why was Gen 3 popularWhat the fuck are you talking about, gen 3 was widely (and unfairly so) hated among the normalfag part of the public (aka the majority) at the time due to the lack of backwards compatibility and the overall changes in design style leading to the first faggots ever to start claiming "GF is running out of ideas" since then.
It wasn't until gen4 that most of the kanto nostalgiakids had truly dropped out of the franchise and the fanbase that continued playing the series started to appreciate Hoenn more for the things that it did right.
>unexpected successGen3 first versions lost as many sales from gen2 as this one lost from the originals. And since then the first versions of each new generation have been consistently around the 16 million.
>enough to revitalize PokemaniaIt didn't. You have no idea what you're talking about if you think pokemania ever came back.
Seriously, just what the fuck are you on? Your entire post is nonsense.
