Do you really think that Gen III was that bad? I mean, I'm biased regarding this gen because it was my first and my all time favorite generation but I really don't understand why some fans think of it as the worst one.
Let's make a comparison between Gen II and the third one:
-The 'mons: I personally think that Gen II Pokémons are the most uninspired ones ( before the "modern gens"). Just look at the fire starter (Typhlosion)... It's so bland that I can't even imagine why someone would approve this as a fire type AND A STARTER! And don't get me started on all those useless "cute babies" Pokémon like Pichu, Togepi, Cleffa, ect.
-Second point, the graphics. IMO they are a good step forward. Yes they didn't had that 1 ou 1.5 second little animation when you started a battle but later Emerald would fix that little minor aspect.
But overall they were colorful and diverse.
-And finally the endgame: Say what you want about Gen II, I or another one. The Gen III Battle Frontier ( in Emerald ) was one of the best thing that Game Freak could implemented on their games, sadly they didn't included in the remakes but I remember how fun and great the Battle Facilities and their respective leaders were.
I'm sorry if I didn't talked about all the aspect and minors things of both Gens but I think that this can sum up my opinion in a pretty simple way.
