Correct. Emerald is peak pokemon and its just downhill from there

does it have pokecontests and secret bases or

Too much water.
FireRed and LeafGreen are the better gen 3 games.

That's right, and this is the best starter

>Picking the fire starter in the game where the entire late-game is water types

Regular water trainers in the surfing part of the game aren't strong, and it makes more sense to have a starter pokemon geared more for the beginning of the game than late game because you don't have many options early game but by late game you'll have more than enough chances to catch a pokemon that can deal with water types or whatever a starter's weakness is. Blaziken falls off to the 7th and eight gyms and the champion but he's still useful for the first and third elite four members (due to fighting type).

>gen 3 is the only gen where you can fill the pokedex alone, playing through 4 distinct games along the way and without needing to buy another version just for one stupid legendary
you'd think more people would care about this

Correct.

And it doesn't even matter because Blaziken gets physical moves that avoid water. And most of the late game areas are just tentacruels and luvidsks that die in 1 hit. If you really want, you can go catch an electric type. But Blaziken can still beat them. And 3/4 of the Elite Four.

Then they gimped him in Gen 4 to make the monkey useful.

I think if you look at it objectively and not with nostalgia it's

I fucking hate myself. At least I have 3 authentic copies of Emerald and I'm not even sure why. I remember picking up a 2nd one many years ago for a sibling to play it, but I'm not sure where the 3rd came from.

I like the way Pickup worked in Ruby and Sapphire better.

Thoughts?

This but unironically. Trying to play Pearl, Platinum and Black were so painful, I just gave up on the series. Fire Red and Emerald were the best games in the whole series. Been playing since Gen 1.

I thought fourth gen was alright but I stopped playing during fifth gen for some reason. Wasn't a fan of the Pokemon designs that gen but not sure why.

because they all suck lol
>b-but
They.
All.
Suck.
