I was a kid in 2003 and a very big Pokemon-Yugioh-Sonic fan. Gen III was soul and there was never any stigma around liking Pokemon as far as my demographic was concerned. And fast-forward over 20 years later that period is hailed by many to be the peak of the series.

Everything you listed has been long since proven to be exclusively johtoddler concerns which have been completely swept away by time, your lot being the sole-holders of an impotent grudge. In fact, your "Gen III killed Pokemania nonsense" led to the script getting flipped on you and now everyone knows Gen 2 was actually the worst of the 4 gens all along.
