Oh no, next page Gen 3 starts. :(

Well the Community thread had a good run. Guess we should just wait until page 387.
 
Andrex, quick reminder:

-Things that suck: Ruby and Sapphire
-Things that DON'T suck: Gen III Pokemon

Just so you don't forget again :D

Heheheh. I don't think either sucks. :P But I don't hold Gen 3's designs in very high regard, generally. A lot of padding the Dex, a lot of abusing the doubles gimmick, some knockoffs and many many Pokemon that just felt too over-designed.

Then again I think Gen 4 and 5 are about tied in terms of design awesomeness so who knows. *shrugs*
 
Gen III is a half-hearted attempt at what Gen V ended up doing. The clones are excusable, given the minor series reboot that R/S rode in on, and they're mostly limited to RSE's early game so I don't mind too much. It's not like Wurmple and Taillow went on to be a series fixture or something. As for the doubles Pokemon, it's pretty much Volbeat and Illumise who suck- Minun and Plusle are the "new Pikachu" so I'm as indifferent to them as I am to Pichu, Pachirisu and Emolga, and I can't really remember any more beyond that. Solrock and Lunatone? But they're awesome!

The only thing with Gen III Pokemon that really annoys me is I read someone suggesting Ludicolo be named Losperados and now I hate that thing
 
5 > 1 > 3 > 4 > 2
Not sure on the middle three; I want to put 3 higher, but also like 1... It's difficult to compare the different design styles. 4 has very few standouts, but the quality is consistently decent. 5 definitely has my favourite Pokémon, and 2 has my least favourite overall design style.
 
Beat PKMN White, so what post-game content does this game have? Besides finally getting Magikarp?

The entire right half of the map, Kyurem, Undella Town + Abyssal Ruins, getting the Sages into custody, Battle Subway, some other stuff I'm probably forgetting...
 
And bring back trainer rematches. Whether it's a phone or VS Seeker, makes getting experience easier to get.
 
I just realized the worst thing about Black 2 being on DS.
NoA's probably not gonna bother with any of the WiFi/Dream World events at all.
 
We haven't really missed many event pokemon at all in the wifi era of Pokémon.

Even some obscure Japanese offers get repurposed eventually.
 
So I got Magikarp and grinded him into Gyarados.

First trainer I fought post game had a Level 64 Rapidash, Cacturne, and Maintaine. WTF? I was just fighting a Level 52 Boss now I'm fighting Level 64 trainers?
 
All this Ken Sugmori art I've been looking at is going to get me to repurchase HeartGold, and pick up a DSi XL. Luckily, pink is being sold still.

I was actually trying to get "Ken Sugimori's Psyduck" with that Wi-Fi event a while back. However, a lot of people were trading to prevent that. I ended up getting a shiny Psyduck named "EvEnTbLoCkeR". Good stuff.
