>>53938127I started with gen 1, and 3 is still my favorite.
I got the game right before going on summer vacation so the water/sea setting while I was on a beach side city was unforgettable.
That and plenty of mysteries like the regis, rayquaza tower, mirage island, the story was also a lot of fun and I like the cities.
Only downside, and it's a big one, is the lack of day/night cycle. What a dumb decision to remove it, would've made the perfect pokemon gen.
