I won't; Gen 3 probably has even shitty business practices than Gen 8 even if I think the games are better. The other thing is that most people here were under the age of 10 during Gen 3; they weren't old enough to comprehend how shitty GF was being

>>42800401 Actually, I don't think that's true. RSE still had a clock even if there was no day/night cycle, and I distinctly remember reading guides as a kid that highlighted how you could get Espeon/Umbreon in RSE but not FRLG. There are still Pokémon you could only get in Colosseum and XD though

>>42800448 The bulbapedo page is formatted in a stupid and inaccurate way. Umbreon and Espeon are obtainable just fine, but you have to trade it from FRLG to RSE, as Eevee isn't obtainable in RSE and Eevee can't evolve in FRLG due to GF being retards for not having an RTC in FRLG.
Anonymous
>>42800448 There isn't an Eevee in RSE, but you can still evolve it into Espeon/Umbreon if you trade an Eevee over. Its convoluted as hell, but you don't need Colosseum or XD

>>42800325 the technology for transfer literally wasn't there, it was LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE for the transfer from crystal.
in the meantime, the new games have a functioning transfer system. they cut pokemon and have yet to give a good reason as to why.

>>42800544 They could have simply had all of the Johtomons be available between RSE and FRLG, but they decided to make you own a Gamecube, two Gamecube games, and an extra accessory on top of already needing a link cable to get them all. Gen 3 is worse than SwSh in this department and has no reason for being this way

Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>42800691 Oh and to top that; all three people that completed the dex would need to coordinate about which Johto starter they chose as well as making sure they had all picked separate starters in FRLG to get the legendary beasts. In a time when liking Pokémon past the age of 9 was social suicide, completing the Gen 3 dex was borderline impossible for children

But both are not required for dex completion in gen 3. Emerald add all the missing johto mon so they can be obtained without the need of the game cube games. The only downside is restarting emerald 3 times for johto starters.

People used to go out and play pokemon with other people and trade and shit. That was the appeal of Pokemon, not expending 500 dollars on games and consoles. Gen III was a great time to play pokemon and you underage fags will never be able to experience it again. Going to an event and waiting in line so you could get a ticket that allowed you to go to Birth Island and catch Deoxys made the task of completing the pokedex a much more adventurous experience than just being able to catch every mon without leaving your room.

>>42800325 We can't, because it's a close call between gen 3 and gen 8 which is worse. But they both are far beneath the level of all the other games

>>42801870 I'm european, from Spain and not from a major city and still got a lot of events here. Even when they didn't give us the ticket to go to certain island we'd still get the event mon. Maybe on the rest of Europe you weren't that lucky.
Here's some info on the events (It's in spanish tho):

You could be stupid enough to buy all 7 games or you could just have family and friends with different games than yours and have the most expansive Pokemon experience there will ever be.

>>42800325 It made trading with people so much more easier. If you had FRLG and a friend with RSE you each had an entire region's worth a pokemon the other couldn't get. Even shit pokemon had some value because it wasn't in the other games to catch. Now with SWSH and bank,
and injections I guess. Nothing has any value or is hard to catch other than shiny pokemon.
