Favourite 3rd Gen Game

[Deadrose]

I can't remember much about XD or Colosseum (though I do remember I enjoyed them.), and being the third part of the non-spinoffs for gen III, I voted Emerald because it was basically R/S but with some new features.

[Plus side down side]

My Emerald game was the only game where I ever completed the Pokedex or got over 300 hours, so it will always have a very special place in my heart. But Coliseum is what got me back into Pokemon after I couldn't get any gen 2 games, so Coliseum is always going to be the game that I nostalgia fangirl over.

Emeral OF COURSE! There is battle frontier and you can rematch the gym leaders ^_^ Although that my first pokemon game was Emerald 8D! Swampert forever!

That counts for me too! It was abou 256 hours I think. ^_^

I loved emerald, except for the fact you couldn't get surskit

Pokemon Colosseum, easily. The storyline was nice, I love the Jotho Pokemon you can get there, the game design is splendid, and the Battle Mode has some nice Colosseums. Pokemon XD is a good second.

Emerald and Fire Red & Leaf Green. Some of he best Pokemon games ever

[ROFLMAO]

Pokemon Ruby for me. First game on the GBA and one of the three I have left on it (others being Firered and The Sims: Bustin' Out). I've done hundreds of playthroughs and put countless hours into it, so many memories.

Definitely Emerald. There are too many things to list that make it better than R/S and FR/LG.

FireRed and Ruby are both awesome... But between the two of them, I have to say Ruby.

Pokémon Emerald. It had all what I've been and will look for in future games, most notably the Battle Frontier. Having sidequests like that is what you'll really enjoy for a while. It also had a lot of post-game stuff which kept me entertained.

[Hankka]

Emerald by far. Because Rayquaza.

[Kutie Pie]

I liked both Ruby and LeafGreen, but LeafGreen I feel is a little better because of the added content. It felt great to return to Kanto but this time I could be a female, and the story was extended to the Sevii Islands prior to the eighth gym. According to Game Freak, the remakes were what the games were supposed to be had it not been for the memory shortage. So I think it's awesome to play LeafGreen in its complete form.

Also, the remixes of the music was nice to hear. I'll always love the original music pieces, but the remixes were really good. I particularly enjoy the remix of the general route music.

Emerald. End of discussion.

[Palamon]

Emerald. The story and whatnot was the best thing about it, and tbh all the others weren't my thing.

Emerald. That really was one of my first Pokemon games and really had much to do. Fire Red is a close one though.
