When did you realize Hoenn was the best region?
>first "new" dex of Pokémon (Johto is more like an expansion to gen 1)
>most diverse environments of any region in the franchise
>most fun cities (pacifidlog, sootopolis, fortree, lavaridge, dewford)
>best set of starters they ever did after gen 1
>best legendary trio they ever did
>fun, simple apocalyptic plot line before they became absolutely retarded starting with gen 4
>whole laundry list of iconic mons where other gens past gen 3 usually only introduced one or two new iconic mons
>diving was fun
>overall cool and mysterious tone to everything from the regis to metagross to the latis to deoxsys/jirachi and the spaceship to sky pillar and rayquaza to the ship wreck.
>maybe the best soundtrack
>the last region with comfy sprite graphics
Especially after playing BDSP and realizing how fucking horrible gen 4/sinnoh really was, I'm really starting to realize how amazing gen 3 was.
