Serious question: Why is everyone so extremely into Hoenn? Like, it's awesome that they got a remake but these remakes seem to be getting a ton more hype then the first four.

Not only that, but everyone seemed to be asking for these for a long time and making jokes such as "Hoenn confirmed" and things like that.

I mean I enjoyed the Gen 3 games but what made them resonate so hard with people?

What the fuck do you mean?
/vp/ gets hype whenever a new game comes out
and we've been waiting for this to happen even though most evidence pointed otherwise

how do you not expect hype?

For me, I started with Blue when I was little and stopped playing after gen 3 at the age of 12. Some years after that I found out about emulation and played gen 4 (not really much) and 5, and I finally went back to the games with gen 6 (because no emulator, but I'm glad I did).

So I'm guessing most people here are around my age (yeah wishful thinking), of course they didn't all stop playing after gen 3, but still it would be the last childhood experience with pokèmon.

most genwunners missed out on hoenn because it came out when they were "too old for pokemon" (middle school). i played it and i loved what an upgrade it was over gen 2, despite leaving out some features.

i mostly loved the game world, it was beautiful and there were so many environments, and the way the story developed. you felt more like you were on an actual adventure than the previous games.

also i always thought the surfing complaints were trivial since you can just buy repel. and diving was cool as hell.

Because RSE are my favorite games of all time and the first Pokemon games that I truly cared for

These remakes took longer to show up than any other pair.
R/B-> FR/LG = roughly six years
GS -> HG/SS = 10 years
R/S -> ORAORAORAORAORA = 12 years
They were the first Pokemon games where I actually bothered to care about the series.
They're also my least favorite, and I didn't want to see them get remakes.
Then again, Crystal was the first Pokemon game I actually played and I used to think Johto was the worst region, until HG/SS came out and became my favorite games.
Here's to worstgen becoming bestgen once again.
