Re: Feature: A Pokémon Retrospective: Generation 3 - 2002 to 2006

It's great that a lot of people really like Gen 3 but for me it's when I lost interest. Gold/Silver did so much to push things forward— day/night system, two new types, entire second zone, pre-evolutions (pichu, Igglybuff, etc), refight trainers, the radio, legendaries that roam...I could go on.

Gen 3 did introduce some great gameplay tweaks (Natures, Abilities, etc) and 2v2 but it didn't feel as far a leap forward as Gold/Silver, at least to me. I still played through it and enjoyed it, of course, but Gen 3 doesn't hold a candle to its predecessors.
