- Hoenn is the best designed region by far, with a variety of interesting routes to explore and many more towns than the standard 10. The only catch were the water routes, but repel exists and they're mostly optional.- lol
- I love a lot of the new Pokemon. Many of them have awesome designs and there was much better variety in types and dual types, even before the first badge.- but it had a lot of crappy ones too like zizagoon and wurmple lawls
- While Ruby's and Sapphire's plot was a bit weak, fighting both evil teams in Emerald is awesome.- i actually liked the plot
- They revamped the stat system to make it more interesting and customizable.- bah
- They also introduced abilities.- bah
- As a result of the last two points, competitive battling became much deeper and well-polished.- after second gen it couldn't have been hard to improve competitive battling
- Emerald introduced the Battle Frontier and still has the best version of it.- haven't played emerald so :(
- Secret Bases are fun to design and fighting your friends in them is even more awesome.- seriously?
- Contests are a fun minigame to work on if you're in the mood for them.- oh my god really?
- Lots of fun and creative sidequests like the Trick House and the Regis.- how dare you getting the Regis sucked ass. Relicanth? really?
- Steven is the coolest champion (except maybe Blue)- Cythnia > Steven
- Emerald has a cloning glitch- almost every pokemon game has had some way to clone stuff
