I always loved the variety of pokemon in gen 3. What were some of your favorites? I definitely love shroomish and breloom.

>>11869317 (OP)
Would be Absol if it was actually evil, but I guess Banette

>>11869324
Absol-utely. Great design. Love the shiny version too

Pokemon was killed by Ruby and Sapphire

RBY/GSC/Stadium1/2 is the peak of Pokemon and always will be. RS being cut off from the earlier games, and being an uninspired soft reboot that removed more features and content than it added, is a travesty that directly led to Pokemon being the soulless franchise it is today

>>11869407
Nah. I like gen3

My favorite is Slaking. He has good stats, truant is fun to build around, and I want him to breed me.

my favorite concubine gardevoir of course

>>11869352
Nice try, but Pokemania died in the middle of Gen 2, as indicated by Crystal being the worst-selling mainline pokemon game of all time, as well as the movies no longer getting theatrical releases well before Gen 3 came out due to lack of interest

>>11869596
Crystal was a GBC game, mate. If it was a GB game, it would've sold like hot cakes.

>>11869815
Do hot cakes really sell that good?

>>11869834
You bet.

only psychic mon I actually like
I usually cheat to give myself an early beldum these days

>>11869852

>Fav Gen III pokemon.
Corphish-Crawdaunt line.
>Team
I need to replay those games. IIRC, my last team was:
-Ludicolo
-Ninjask
-Sandslash
-Grumpig
-Tentacruel
-Pinsir

Gen 3 is one of if not the strongest for overall design quality. Tons of replayability for that reason, even though Gen 4 is my favourite.
Taking an "I just think they're neat" approach my team would be
>Blaziken
>Ludicolo
>Sableye
>Aggron
>Walrein
>Flygon

>>11869317 (OP)
>hurr durr muh Luigi
You faggots still exist?

>>11874759
No one actually believes this

Gen 3 Pokemon designs felt like they were going back to gen1 but working in what worked in gen2

>>11874854
I believe it, kys nigger

>>11874759
>hariyama
>bad
retard alert

Pokemans.

>>11869402
gen 3 had the coolest and edgiest pokemon

gen 3 has my favorite early game shitmons
shedinja is an especially fun gimmick

>>11869317 (OP)
very good taste op
sableye is my homie though

>>11874772
brelooms just really solid in his own right
esp so in gen 3
top 10 mon easily, if not higher
maybe a bit cursed, due to having to delay evo until lvl fucking 50??!?! if you want spore
but hes just so strong it hardly matters
and spore IS worth it. spore + leech seed is a devious combination

i like medicham
really cool little mon. definitely my favorite of the humanoid fighting-type mons. i remember it was the first time i actually used a fighting mon

really flexible moveset too
its got its huge power ability, so its physical moves all hit like a freight train. but then you can also go the calm mind route and spam psychic/special moves. even learns recover, so you can easily set up calm mind
stupid powerful

>>11869317 (OP)
My HoF team on my Emerald save is Grumpig, Bellossom, Hariyama, Milotic, Walrein, and Cacturne. I thought I played the games only using native pokes but I guess I forgot Bellossom is from Gen 2 (and it's an Oddish evo so it was stretching anyway). But he is cute so it's OK.

>>11869317 (OP)
Im a gen 1 boomer but the gen 3 starters will always be the best in my eyes. no matter who you pick you get a fucking KINO final form that kicks ass.

>>11869407
is being cut off really such a big fucking deal? dex autism is so dumb.

>>11876873
Yes

>>11869815
born in 91 and I dont remember a single kid playing pokemon on a brick DMG gameboy. everyone had a color. gen 2 killed pokemania but I think it was inevitable no matter what kind of sequel they made.

>>11876869
Sceptile kinda sucks, grass moves are weak as piss in Emerald and he doesn't have chlorophyll to make setting up sunny day for solar beam economical

>>11876873
these days yeah because they're not even programmed into the games so you can't even hack em in, but back then yeah it was an understandable limitation of the hardware

>>11876878
*although I say that I guess I did use Bellossom on my team that is still slower than Sceptile after setting up sunny day with chlorophyll

>>11876878
hes definitely the weakest of the three but grass starters are almost always shit anyway and I really like his design.

>>11876878
I always thought sceptile was a weird name for the design, like a sceptic tank? FULL OF SHIT????

>>11869317 (OP)

>>11877321
Yeah, you're a fucking loser. Also DS isn't retro

>>11877261
>Sceptile may be a combination of scepter, referring to its status as the "forest king"; scissors, referring to the blades on its wrists; or Sceptridium, a genus of grape-ferns; and reptile.

>>11877321
>using HM slaves ever
>>11877327
It came out over 20 years ago, it's retro.

>>11877321
drifblim as the other hm slave? gonna need to explain that one, tropius exists man. or at least he does in platinum, dunno about dp if your sprite means you played that version instead. that aside, good taste all around

>>>/vp/

>>11877370
its been years, so I dont remember for sure
I just know that those two got me all the HMs I wanted

>>11877261
>sceptic tank
>sceptic
Kek, dumbass

>>11877321
Why did you wait until Gen 4 to start telling the professors that you’re a girl?

>>11877597
you seem sceptical

>>11877597
gen 4 is when the male designs became way too beta; if I cant play a cool guy, then I'll play a chick
and after gen 3, the girls are more attractive than the guys; they were roughly equal in gen 3

>>11876884
Bellossom is cool too. I tend to get a Volbeat with signal beam as a novelty, but it's cool enough to justify

>>11878103
you hardly even see your own character and the chibi sprite has few details, it seems like you just decided you identified more with girls and stuck with that ever since
you even went with a custom girl sprite for Yellow which never existed

>>11878332
its yellow legacy; a romhack
if it were yellow, it'd be at the top
