>>38183854The spritework is really bad. Washed-out colors, bad anatomy, and uninteresting poses really hurt the Pokemon sprites specifically.
The soundfont is awful. There are maybe one or two songs that are fine despite this, but they aren't good for the most part.
Gen 3 started the trend of sending the player character on a legendary-fueled power trip, forcing them to encounter the game's box legendary, or leaving them wide out in the open. They could be tied to the plot and the player should strop them and whatever scheme the villains are up to, but catching them should still be relegated to a sidequest.
A lot of boss character's Pokemon movepools were lacking.
Despite that, Gen 3 is still a good time. Not the best mainline Pokemon experience, but not the worst.
