      I know you are trolling, but gen 3 was way better than gen 1+2

        If 1 and 2 were native to the GBA people wouldn’t say this. 3 is my fave because it came out at the right age, but 2 had better mechanics such as the day/night cycle.

          The day night cycle is about the only mechanic (and headbutting trees) in gen 2 that 3 lacked, but 3 made up for those lacking features with all the other cool stuff like hidden bases and a much richer story (and better puzzles in the gyms[looking at you lt.surge gym…]) Also, gen 1 got a remake on the gba. Gen 1 has it’s charm, i grew up playing it but it’s a buggy mess and has lots of issues(psychic types being absolutely unstoppable due to basically no weaknesses being programmed in)

            What did gen 3 add other than contests and bases (which were only a multiplayer thing really)?

            Agreed on the puzzles though, that’s a good point.

              The berry growth(and ability to plant specific berries). Better bicycles… way better balance for mon types. The addition of “abilities” was pretty big too, imo. Need i go on?

                Balance? Fire was very balanced in gen 3.

                Berries and bikes, were kinda just there. I can see how people liked them though.

                abilities just made competitive play worse because Nintendo actually expects people to grind out catching/breeding perfect EV and depending on the moon with hidden ability.

                I guess we just disagree on what additions are good.
