What keeps you playing the 3rd Generation?

[Aggro]

Battle frontier ;]

Why i play 3rd generation pokemon? I can't afford another Ds. My brother has one, but it's broken. And there's so many people in my family i'm not sure we have spare money for diamond or pearl, let alone a Ds.

The Battle Frontier and raising Pokemon to trade to Diamond

 

[Leaf_Blade_Leafeon28]

Well to get pokemon not available in D/P along with getting a masterball I never use so I just trade that over as well.

 

[GiratinaShaymin<3]

I Stopped playing them like a year before DP Came out. it just got two stupid.

 

[Irith_Locke]

Battle Frontier, better graphics IMO, Hoenn's general coolness.

 

[purple_absol709]

I don't have a DS, and besides, LeafGreen is my only working game. Plus I have no problem playing it over and over again, anyways. ^^

 

[SHUCKLE MAN]

I like the Battle Frontier and the more defensively orientated gameplay. Plus, I like trading items such as TMs over to DP.

 

[Foo Fighter]

Battle frontier is way awesome,, and it's a cooler place to be then sinnoh.

 

[flygon54]

just the fact that its just fun to replay leaf green over and over again

 

[Korshar]

To get 3rd generation games complete (again) and get the pokemon to D/P

 

[kyogresoloelite4]

BF, cool legendaries, and maybe some other stuff heh, just dislike elite 4, they are way too weak.

I still play because I HATE D/P. I really think that it was such a waste of time (when they could've made...umm...I dunno, a remake of GSC which is imo the greatest pokemon generation ever -possible future included as I feel that D/P really just over did it-). I played GSC more (before I lost my Gold...), but I like RSE WAY better than D/P.

 

[shinygroudon232]

I'm milking my emerald and fire red version of thier legendaries and items.

 

[DanChimchar]

Well Love the DP games but I still play my emerald because of the factory so I can switch Pokemon

 

[Naxte]

The Battle Frontier and to be able to trade over legendaries and such to Diamond.

 

[Ammako]

Seriously, I don't see why some people play these games ONLY to get legendaries and items.

I still play them because the game is fun, and it is always fun to restart over and over again.

Well, I've been on a Gen III kick lately, especially since all I really have left to do in D/P is catch 'em all and go to the Battle Tower. I love D/P, don't get me wrong, but resetting my Gen III games and playing them was a fun and fresh idea.

I love Hoenn, for one. It's a unique region with lots of water routes, and I love the diving. People give this Gen a rough time, I think, because the more I'm getting back into it, the more I realise how much I like the Hoenn Pokemon and the Gym Leaders. This Gen also introduced Contests, and I am fast becoming an aspiring Coordinator.

I also think that, of the Team conflicts in the Pokemon stories so far, that Aqua/Magma is the most interesting one, because it dared to be a little different. Instead of having one evil team, there's one evil and one good, and they fight each other. They also have cool costumes, a neat conflict going on with the legendaries, and I like the weather theme. Emerald did it best, though, by making both teams evil and causing equal chaos with their goals. It was an amazing storyline, and though the Cyrus arc in D/P was fun, R/S/E did it first.

I like FR/LG because it's basically like playing Gen I games with vastly improved graphics, movepools, and extra locations/Pokemon. In other words, it's an improved nostalgia for me.

So, there ya go. In short, I still play Gen III because it's fun and exciting. ;332;

 

[Pokerealm]

Only for shinyhunting now, the storyline got bored after some years.

 

[Belraptor]

The only reason I still play it is for those damn Latios/Latias and the zangooses, solrocks, lunatones, sevipers ... Yeah, you can get them by inserting them in the DS and playing Diamond/Pearl, but hey, they have costed me a lot, so need to get my money's worth.
