>>44409104>>Legitimately like half of Hoenn is water and nearly all the exploration areas are dive and surf spots>Hoenn has exploration aside from water though. Did you ever go back to Granite cave to do that Mach Bike puzzle? Did you ever go to any of the optional Cut areas like in Petalburg Woods or on Route 118?I said nearly all, learn to read.
>>Had they buffed the fuck out of dive/surf speed to MUCH higher levels>The Surf/Dive speed is perfectly fine the way it isIt literally isn't. It should be at least 25% faster.
>>lowered wild encounter rates>There is nothing wrong with the rates of wild Pokemon. Just use Repels>>Fuck dude at the very least they could have put more than three fucking water types as the encounter table for every mother fucking surf tile. By the time I was done with gen 3 I was so fucking sick of Tentacool and Wingull I never wanted to see them ever again.>Sounds like your fault for not using Repels"JUST USE REPELS BRO" is such a fucking shit argument. It's a Pokemon game, wild Pokemon are supposed to be engaging and sensical. Nearly half the fucking region shouldn't have a super high encounter rate with the same three fucking species in nearly all of it and nothing else. That is fucking retarded and "use repels" is some next level shill shit. Take off the rose-colored glasses. I'm not even saying gen 3 was the worst gen, it absolutely wasn't. It was actually one of my favorites. That said it's definitely deserving of criticism, every fucking gen is.
