Why did Gen III maintain such a big following after it stopped being relevant while Gen IV was quickly forgotten and Gen V seems to be going the same way?
I mean obviously I and II will always have a big following because of nostalgia, but why III?

Gen 3 had a good feeling to it as well as adding a new region, new mons, and bringing back an old region but adding new adventures and mons (sevii islands, addition of gen 2 and 3 mons with the national dex).

So gen 3 brought in new people as well as old ones looking for Kanto nostalgia.

This is why I think gen 3 is the greatest.

You forgot newfound hoenn nostalgia and increased quality of gba vs gbc graphics, but I agree.

Agreed.

Also, maybe because it was the first transition into hier quality sprite-based graphics. It was very attractive.

Oh yeah. For the GBA look it looks fucking great. I love the colors. So many bright colors (unlike D/P) and awesome music.

For all that can be argued about where Gen 3 when backwards, the graphics were pretty fucking awesome. It was a big jump from Gen 2. I guess you could say it was as big of a change as from 5 to 6.

For me the one thing that holds Hoenn back is the shortage of places to explore postgame. If that one thing was different Gen 3 might be my favorite.

I didn't play any pokemon games since D/P came out years ago, until I picked up Black last week, and it's currently my favorite pokemon game, and will remain to be unless Gen 6 completely blows it out of the water

H-How long ago did red/blue launch? I would do the math but I don't think I could take it.

Dat fucking story
And actual character development
BW2 is a bit worse in that respect, but it's still better than earlier games, and has more content and features, so it's alright
The only games that can compare are the mystery dungeon games

Because Gen IV was bad and only a small minority actually like it. And those people we're late to the party and only played Platinum and don't understand.
