>>51396640You're being pretty disingenuous.
>Gyms and leadersDidn't really get messed with until Gen 7.
>Evil team like KantoTwo teams, and the one opposite of your version is treated as more rational and cooperates with you.
>Rival like KantoNot only is the rival the opposite sex PC, but he or she is the first helpful and friendly rival.
>Rodents like KantoLike every other gen? What makes Hoenn unique is the type variety you see before the very first gym. It was likely you fight Falkner with a flying, bug, etc. in your party. You can walk into Roxanne's gym with dark, psychic, and (relevant for Torchic starters) grass and water types.
>One region unlike JohtoThe most geographically unique region period. Half of it requires surf to traverse, you even take a boat at the start.
If you wanted to shit on gen 3 you could talk about how much shit they added in gen 2 that was needlessly taken out like the day/night cycle or sprites with no animations.
