>>11928692Not the same guy, but since Gen 3 was my favorite:
>bad rivalsThis was an actual problem. I liked Wally and May/Brendan, but you should have fought each of them at least 1 or 2 more times. To stop the battles two thirds into the game was disappointing.
>lack of diversity in the Hoenn dexI actually loved the Hoenn dex. I wish every reagion was as self-contained as it and Unova was, instead of cramming in every Pokemon.
I was interesting in discovering and collecting all the new guys, not retreading old ground.
>lack of day and nightI'm the guy who just bitched about that, so nah.
It was cool in the DS games when it was easily adjustable, had a more natural progression and balanced the Pokemon better. It was no more than a novelty in GSC.
