Gen 3 nostalgiafaggotry is just as bad as gen 1 nostalgiafaggotry and gen 4 nostalgiafaggotry will become just as bad within two years or so. While gen 3 doesn't get the pandering that gen 1 does, the people who grew up with gen 3 more than make up for it with their incessant complaining about kanto and what they now claim to be sinnoh pandering. Not only would they stop complaining if there were more hoenn pandering, but there would be circlejerk threads every five seconds about how great or how shit the new hoenn shilling in the game are. I'll let you decide which result is worse.
