Why is this gen so underrated?

The third generation is great and I always go back to play it but the things I don't like is after the Pokemon League there is nothing to do, water is way too common and they were very easy and boring but still great

Well for me, I was kinda the same way with nostalgia.

When we only had 3 generations, I didn't like Gen 3 and I loved Gens 1 and 2.

Well then 4th and 5th Gens came along (played Gen 4 for the first time in 2011 at the same time B/W were released), and I realized that I didn't like the Pokemon from Gens 4 and 5, except a very few, and I started appreciating Gen 3 more.

Now the Pokemon from Gen 3 are probably my favorite.

Yeah. I remember times when gen 3 was still the 'oh so new' and me and my brother found it really hard to memorize names of all gen 3 pokemon (now we do, but not for further generations; I know some, but my brother doesn't know more than most) and we were all like "New gen already? I mean ALREADY?" when it came out.

I enjoyed gen 1&2 (gen 2 is my favorite across all gens) and hated gen 3. For me it was the poor graphics. However I've gotten over that. But yeah gen 3 came out during a time when the original fans were starting high school and pkmn was suddenly deemed un-cool. Before then people would sneak the games into school and trade cards behind teachers backs.

Poor graphics? I'd say they were a HUGE improvement from GSC!

In the beginning when a new gen comes out, everyone has to get used to it, I hated BW at first but now I think it's awesome.

Ruby was my absolute favorite game out of all of them, and my first game was Yellow. It was mostly the music and the setting that got me at first. Hoenn is my favorite region, with the tropical cities and vibrant tunes, filled with Flute solos and Brass choruses. The Pokemon quickly became my favorite of all the overall Generations, of course except for Jolteon. Ah, my pal Jolteon, who I named Lance, has stuck with me as my main Pokemon throughout each generation. But the Eon Duo is definitely my favorite Legendary Pokemon by far.

Teh pokemanz r uglY, apparently. Also, the fact that you can't trade with the original games made many people upset. Also confused me when I tried to put Ruby into my GBC lol.

It'd probably gain more popularity if there were R/S/E remakes. Not for the sake of having the remakes, but because the remakes would be available on a DS gamecard like how you can with the other generations. I loved playing Sapphire version though when it came out.

Completely opposite, I'd love it if the newer games were suitable for GBA.

I think it was more overrated than underated.

There were many downsides to the games like the weather animation and surf

I'm not too bothered either way what console it's made for. I think it's just because the DS is the 'latest handheld console' that'd be the most popular format to sell them on. When HG and SS came out I'd have bought it quite happily if it was only use able on the GBA. However you have to think about the current market ( which as much as I hate it, technology moves too fast for its own good these days) so people whose first console was a DS it'd be popular.
